I have found that my batch has a yellow tint if the time is to slow and the taste is usually bitter...in my case it was because the water was not that warm ...I find that 12 ppm with out a starter should take around 3 hrs with pre warmed distilled water ...also I use the same batch jar always ...for 3 years now ...and tap water to rinse will guaratee me a yellow batch ...even if it is wiped ..I always use alcohol to clean if I feel it necessary ...this may help someone ... ----- Original Message ----- From: Dee To: silver-list@eskimo.com Sent: Tuesday, June 24, 2008 5:40 PM Subject: Re: CS>CS colour
I would prefer mine to be clear and the first couple of batches were. I am puzzled as to why these aren't. It has to be the water I suppose, or something that's got into the water.

You have to wonder why they make yellow instead of clear. Faith G.
