I suggest you look very closely at the Tyndall beam, Pete, particularly at the consistency of it. The beam should be a solid homogenous band, and should not appear grainy at all. If it does appear grainy then the particles are very large and reflect or diffract white light but the solution still looks clear. I have experienced this in an experimental batch, and was quite surprised.
Other than this I can offer no explanation.
