morning Dee
My distilled water comes in a plastic bottle ...I put hot tap water in the
stopped up sink and set the bottle in it while I have a cuppa tea :O)

Maybe this is what I am doing wrong. Because I have it set on reverse
polarity, it does take quite a long time. Maybe I should set it on direct
current and warm the water perhaps. How do you warm the water? I wouldn't
have thought microwaving would be a good idea, but then neither would a
saucepan would it? It is a little bitter as you say too, but then I thought
that was because it was fresher than I am used to. I do rinse and wipe
everything with distilled water though. Many thanks. Dee

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 ...
