Hi there Tom,
Nope, no target as such, I work within a 'range' with everything I do EIS related. I don't see a point in being pedantic about it. The only thing I AM pedantic about is the NON appearance of any sludge/mud/sediment/settlement/gravel/fallout etc etc in the bottom of my storage vessels at ANY time. I don't worry about water temperature either, I use the water straight from the bottle at room temperature. I played around with heating water etc when first getting involved with this stuff years ago, but gave that idea away as quick as I started, and I wouldn't be without my magnetic stirrer for any volume over 250-300ml for quids. I've always said...this is an art, not a science. The only 'science' I work on now is NIL ANYTHING laying in the bottom of my storage vessels over time, and if colour develops on occasion, then that colour must be 'pure' and not misty or cloudy or whatever, just clean and pure colour.

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.

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.
