Yeah, I used that for a short time, kept breaking and cracking on my due to my ham fistedness...LOL. That stuff is too fragile for my rough and tumble handling. If they could make that glass quarter of an inch thick I would consider going back to it <g>. N.

I think the terminology has become less precise over the years so it might be wise to check.

I brewed a batch in a crystal jug years ago and it turned tea coloured in a very short time. I assumed electrolysis of the silver interacted with the lead in the crystal? Was always going to repeat the exercise to satisfy myself one way or tuther, but never have. N.
