I too get a slight clouding when my mixtures are new and a thin white

systems. According to all of these things I've read, there is no
cause for
concern about the white stuff, it's apparently harmless and no-one
seems to
know what it actually is. I have my own theories that it's a form of
benign
bacteria from the carbonic acid, but apart from that I find the
slight
milkiness in the water goes after about 4 or 5 days, when the mixture
settles down into it's middle period.
Oz, I'm running a pressurized system and I get the same film on the
suction cups, so it's not just related to the yeast system. I think
you're right about the link to carbonic acid.
