Hey merkin,

thanks for your reply. I did mix the lime and water before adding it to the powder.

That sounds like a good idea. I am just about to start my second attempt and will be using more powder.

I used only one coffee filter. I will use two this time to be sure. I am a bit scared of putting it in the fridge due to condensation. What is the advantage of having it in the fridge over letting it sit at room temperature? Do you know what effect the temperature has on the EA? Did you also observe any clouding due to the temperature change (cloudy in the fridge and clear at room temp)?

I have lab grade anhydrous citric acid and food grad citric acid monohydrate. The lab grade is already very fine whereas the food grade is kind pretty coarse. Do you use anhydrous or monohydrate citric acid?

And one last question: Do you use tap or distilled water?
