I did this, but found that after making quite a lot of CS I thought the
colour had gone yellow, but found later that it was actually the glass jar,
which had discoloured inside.  I always just rinsed it with clean distilled
water after brewing, but even so, it still discoloured.  This meant that I
couldn't see if my CS was yellow or not.  However, after making the last
batch and tipping it into a clear glass, I could see it was the jar which
was discoloured and not the CS.  This was where my little white melamine
pads came in handy.  I know that if you use tap water or detergent to wash
the jar out, it can cause problems with the CS, but I used the little pad
and it all came off beautifully with just distilled water!  My CS was
perfect after that.  Dee

I just re-use my glass ball jars without washing them.  I figure they are
cleaner than water.  Faith G.
