Hi Jan. There's really no reason to wait 72 hours to test your ppm-level. The testers aren't terribly accurate, and you should know what ppm-level you have right after brewing anyway. Your ppm-level is likely only going drop a couple of points, at the #3 setting on your generator. I think you've gotten a mis-impression about the importance of the *stabilization period* -- it's really just an *interesting thing*, not something to gear your life around. There's no need to buy another generator -- the one you have will make larger batches. Ask about that on the ESN list -- several members brew by the gallon. MA
