I develop a scum or white film on clear glasses after washing them many
many times in the dishwasher. I believe something is reacting with the
glass or etching it in some manner and have never been able to find a
trick to remove it. Tried heavy phosphoric (no nitric or sulphuric
around) Are these two related?
Have also noticed a few bottles with this cloudy appearance. They
typically are the thinner shorter styles. I just complete the cycle and
recycle. Hot water soak removes labels too - it just takes longer but
you need to hot rinse well to remove all glue residue.

I have seen the scum which appears to be the high chalk content of the
water when using bleach and/or TSP to soak bottle. I found it didn't
happen if I used water that had been through the water softner. In my
house several of the cold water taps bypass the softner, all the hot
water comes through the softner.

I have used ammonia to remove labels from bottles. I have noticed that the
some of the bottles that I have acquired this way have a white haze on them,
inside and out. Has anyone else encountered this, or what causes it? Has
anyone been successful at removing it?
Thanks!

Mike, Thanks for sharing your recipe (again). I know what you mention
about the spices is correct.
One question comes to mind. Is a saison a sub-category of a wit or are
they synonymous? They both seem so similar with grist bill, hop
schedule, use candi sugar, coriander, and orange.
Oh and by the way, "the checks in the mail."
