Thanks Mike, It could be that the water is super pure, as I first filter, then distill the water. After reading and hearing of all the stuff that "can" be found in water, I'm not taking any more risks of taking something in I don't want in my organism. :-) I'll leave a bit of "old brew" in the jar for the next batch. How much would make the difference, and how long should it take? 3-4 hours? instead of the 6+?
I remember reading a few posts about seeding, but it seems that it didn't make a difference for some, so I wonder what it all depends on. I would feel more sure of myself if I could test the ppm of the water in between, as to see if I could cut off the electricity, and so, also see how accurate (or not), the little green light is.
