So a couple weeks back I decided to drain my hot water heater.
Ever since then the hot water comes out with a yellow tint.
Any idea why this would happen?

Why would you heat hot water? Are you making steam? O_o

Try reading the story and understanding what he said.

Okay. The thing is though, if it's a 'hot water heater', it's a boiler.
If it's a 'water heater' which is what the OP actually has, it's not.
There is a difference between the two. So, perhaps you should consider
trying to understand the difference before suggesting someone else, who
obviously does understand the difference, does so? Just a suggestion...
