Hi Beth. Well according to Trem, that would be a bad idea. Hope he
has the courage to post again about it!
I'd like ot hear from Trem again as well, as I was surprised to see
him say not to put brew jars through the dishwasher. When I bought my
SG-6 some years ago, that is how he said to clean a jar to use for
making CS--run through dishwasher, rinse well with hot tap water,
rinse with distilled water (this part may have come from someone
else) then allow to air dry. I never had any trouble at all with that method.
But now I do a peroxide swish, rinse with hot tap water, followed by
a rinse with distilled water. And only do that when a brew jar gets
yellow on the inside. I have noticed that if a brew jar gets so
plated yellow with silver that it begins to look brownish, I begin to
get yellow CS. I think Ode explained why that could happen quite some
time ago.
Personally I also always leave some of the finished CS in the brewing
jar to "seed" the next batch. Since I need such pure distilled water
to make clear CS this really shortens the brewing time.

For myself, I also use a quart mason jar to make my EIS, but then
pour it into a storage jar and reuse the *making* jar again. I
never wash any of the jars. I do occasionally use a paper towel to
wipe off any residue on the inside of the mason jar -- a little bit
of silver film does accumulate over time. If I felt the storage
jars needed cleaning, I would simply swish around some hydrogen
peroxide inside there, then rinse with distilled water. HTH.
