Probably, the difference was in the containers rather than the locations!
In experimenting with various additives (e.g. H2O2) & brew times, I've seen
CS turn every color of the spectrum.  A friend reported that a batch turned
green after transfer into a container of questionable cleanliness.  Whereas
soap leaves a film, I've had excellent results cleaning jars with apple
cider vinegar (it dissolves minerals) & rinsing with DW.
