Hi all,
For some reason, after the first couple batches of CS from my Silver Puppy, and
can only seem to make "pale yellow" CS now. Ive tried 3 different brands of
distilled water (all test either 000 or 001) on my TDS-1 meter. Ive been using
"auto shutoff" with direct current, and cleaning the electrodes 1 time (when
heavy buildup) during the process. My canning jars i use are brand new, a
rinsed very well with distilled water. I never touch the electrodes with
anything but a clean paper towel.
Here is my question- since i really don't want the "pale yellow" color, I've
tried adding 3% hydrogen peroxide (2 drops) to 32oz of CS after it has set for
at least 24 hours. Instead of it clearing up, the CS actually gets a much
darker yellow! Does anybody know why this is happening?
Thank you for your help!
