I am aiming for consistency in batches. Using distilled or deionized water near boiling temp each time should be more consistent I believe. Unless the general belief is that seeding creates a superior CS to heating water.
I wonder if deionized water is advised over DW. I have heard that by starting w/deionized water one ends up with a more positively ionic CS, which is a good thing.
Thanks,
Dan
