Ken, Nope, haven't tried discarding the first cup or so, I'm running the distiller now, having boiled the water for abut 5 to 7 minutes without the lid first per Ole Bob. I have also stopped cleaning with H202 and vinegar (in sprayers) for a while, as the gen is not really open to the air, it doesn't seem likely that could be the cause, but you never know..... Did check to see if the yellow CS correlates with phase of moon, but found it doesn't. paula
----- Original Message ----- From: Ode Coyote Heck. I've heard that even the moon phase can affect outcome. How about it Larry T. in Florida... Are you still having a similar problem? [He's the only other person I know of. He actually made a batch of yellow at MY house with his water a while back. Unfortunately we didn't try one with my water and his generator...time constraints or something.] A number of volitile chemicals will make it through a distiller. Have you tried discarding the first cup or so? Ode [Ken]
