In both brewing jars and storage bottles, some portion of the Colloidal Silver tends to plate out on the inside of the glass.

When this happens in the brewing jar, it seems to interfere with the brewing process. When this happens in the storage bottle you apparently end up with a weaker silver product.

I much prefer plastic for brewing and for storage.

According to the instructions that came with it, it says PET plastic

Don't use glass. Use the plastic soda bottles. I have a Silver Puppy too. Ode, who makes our generator, recommends using a common plastic soda bottle, with the type of plastic used to bottle a 2 liter Coke/Pepsi/Sprite in the U.S. Also, there was a study done that showed that with glass, your batch ends up being weaker because the silver plates out onto it over time.... Just found it. I saved it onto my hard drive. Here it is:

Silver in Glass vs. Plastic Containers

January 1, 2004

Introduction
A great deal of controversy has arisen in the market
place on the question of whether it is better to store
silver solutions in glass versus plastic containers.
There is a misconception that has prevailed in the
market place that glass is better.  The idea that
glass containers are better for storing products that
contain silver has never been proven scientifically.
But in fact, it has been reported in other studies
that glass may have a detrimental effect on silver
products.
