I have noticed an effect now and then I call 'crystal patterning' where whatever you start with winds up being similar to what you end up with. So, if you use a colored batch to seed the next batch, it'll likely develop a color too.

For my self, because of the iffy DW, and the fact that even using the PWT there is something it does not detect in some bottles of water that leads to some of my CS turning pale straw color after 24 to 48 hours of storage. So I no longer use any starter CS to seed new batches. And I have found that unless I seed heavily (such as 8 oz CS in a 24 oz batch) it does not make much difference in the time a batch takes. The difference between 3 hrs or 4 hrs just isn't critical to me. paula ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ode Coyote" <coyote...@earthlink.net> > > 3 to 4 hours would be the norm for a quart with some starter. 4 to > 6 hours without any starter wouldn't be abnormal. > Adding starter CS changes the point from which you start.
