That's really odd, Pat. Mine rarely takes more than 5 or 6 hours. My CS is always clear, and I never have any crud on the bottom of my jars. I don't worry a bit about the electrodes being straight and parrallel -- more that they're not touching. Do you use a quart Mason jar? You only have to hook the electrodes over the lip of the jar. And I use a pair of electrodes about a year too -- but I make CS several to many times a week. That crud on the bottom of your jar is the remains of the electrodes that are being eaten up. I brew mine in the kitchen -- but I drape a kitchen towel over the jar, as much to keep the electrodes in place on opposite sides of the brewing jar as to keep the water clean. I stopped worrying about light a long time ago. MA

My Colloid Master AC has a green light that goes on and off while brewing, then turns off totally when it's finished. The red light stays on to indicate it has power plugged in (although I think it goes on and off, too during brewing.) Sometimes it takes 12 hours or more. I keep it in the dining room, so don't look at it often. It leaves quite a bit of crud on the bottom of my jars. The CS is clear as long as I don't go above 5.5. The worst thing about the machine is that it's hard sometimes to get the electrodes straight and parallel when I'm putting the clips on. It eats them up, too, sometimes. I'm on the third set in four years and I don't make it very often. My daughter loves her Silver Puppy. My Colloid Master said to not brew in the light, though, so I was wondering about the warming light with the Silver Puppy. Does light during brewing make a difference?

My setting is at about 5.5 or 6 to get a 10 ppm. I can't tell if it shuts itself off or not, but I'm hoping it does, and its the other light, the red one, that doesn't go on when it stops, which it should, according to the instructions that came with the generator. If the generator does go off, then maybe completely, which would explain why the red light does not go on. *grin* Aldi O -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
