I had the same problem. It wasn't until Trem started talking about plating on the mason jar that I figured out my culprit. I got a new jar and my batches are back to normal.

I've been away from making CS for a little while, and yesterday I decided to
make up a batch.  I took out my mason jar, swished some distilled water
around to clean it out, and then used my Walgreen's distilled water for the
CS.  I don't have a Hanna tester yet (I'm working on that!), so I've been
kind of gauging that it was "done" when the color was a little golden.

Well, last night, I saw no visible change in color in FIVE HOURS of "cooking"
(using the SOTA unit).  I finally fell asleep, and woke up this morning to
realize that I had left the unit running for twelve hours.  The silver wires
were "bearded," but the color is still pretty clear.

What did I do wrong?
