Randys mag

Hello,

I made a batch of Randy's Magnesium. Its been sitting for awhile (probably 2 months) in a gallon jug. I noticed the walls of the jug are slightly brown. Is this normal and is it safe to use?

If it's brown flush it down.


I would.

I haven't seen that happen, but I wouldn't worry, personally. Most magnesium chloride has a bit of ammonia in it. That might fuel a microbial bloom of some sort.
