Are you using any aerosols in the same room or near your cs machine? Anything in the air?
I had a batch turn pale yellow when a guest in the house sprayed Lysol in the hall next to the room my generator was running a batch in. It turned 5 gallon pale yellow.

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!
