Hi Kenny,
I use the same set-up. You seem to be doing everything right. The only
time I got yellow CS was when I put it in a cut crystal decanter. I
think it was glass with lead content. Maybe the jars are a different
glass than usual. What does Ode Coyote say?
Be well,
Léna

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!
