Hello Neville,

Thanks.

Do you target a specific uS reading while brewing, or simply note what you end 
up with?  

I seem to get repeatable uS readings right after the batch is finished, but 
there seems to be some variation in how the batch settles out.  The one 
variable I haven't tracked is temperature.  After all, it's all at room 
temperature and the room doesn't vary that muck... does it. :)   OK, I will add 
another column to the spreadsheet.

Tom

  From a home producer using my own units.
   
  I time my process throughout and stop the process at regular pre-determined 
timed intervals to remove electrodes from solution to wipe clean, then 
resubmerge them.  I repeat this process til I get the uS or ppm reading I 
desire.
   
  I have no problems and nil fallout or gravel on the bottom of my storage 
vessels after days/weeks or months in storage.
   
  I check and record uS and ppm readings, TE, colour of solution, observation 
of any mud etc every day til the solution reaches a point of stabilization, 
then I check periodically ever after to make sure gravity hasn't pulled any 
silver out of solution.
   
  My experience shows readings can fluctuate *minimally* even after 
stabilization point has been reached, water temperature on the day being one 
reason for this.
