What've you got against yellow? Any number of reasons for it, but I'd be starting with cleaning those trodes at regular timed intervals *way* before any "buildup" becomes apparant. You didn't say if you stir, so if that jar is 32oz I'll assume you incorporate stirring? Don't forget to let me know the reason why you don't "...really want the pale yellow colour"? N.

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!
