<< I think that locking down a configuration is good, but that all possible combinations should be looked at, especially those that require no testing apparatus by the user. Agreed that the basic 8oz tumbler and 16oz jar should be defined, and electrode length and guage. Then it should be possible to state within a margin of error the concentration for a given time in hot and cold water. Absolutes would be impossible, but one could say that the solution is higher than 5ppm. I suspect it will always be lower than 15ppm. And don't forget those that use ingots. >> As a newbie, I can see that having some sort of even loose standards viewable on one site would be most helpful. I picked the above excerpt because, after reading it, I wondered what was the effect of using ingots as opposed to smaller and/or thinner electrodes. Does more exposed silver surface during the process make for higher PPM? Should brewing time be adjusted downward? There are so many variables that I feel I know less now than when I first dived in. I am afraid that my not very technically inclined mind may be drawing the wrong conclusion from reading your research findings. That basic standards site would be grand.
