My take: [correct if wrong]
Ions, having a strong positive repulsive electron charge, cannot cluster.
They can, however, react with other ions [anions] to from uncharged
particles which when THEY cluster, can have a weak over all negative
charge..."Zeta Potential"
If the ionic solubility limits of the water has been exceeded, that forces
excess ions to form compounds with whatever is available, generally
Oxygen in the air, turning the CS yellow with suspended Silver Oxide
particles and Carbon Dioxide dissolved into the water from the air as
Carbonic Acid forming a photo reactive Silver Carbonate particulate which
turns grey with light exposure.

Hi,
If you make it yourself:
Immediately after cessation of the brewing process the solution will
contain the highest level of Ag+ ions, for every hour that solution sits
in storage it will lose some of those Ag+ ions to ion clusters {particles}
until a point of solution stability is reached, thus reducing the amount
of electrically positively charged silver ions in that solution.
Soooooo, you will have a choice between consuming a solution which is high
in positively electrically charged silver ions, {or more Ag+ ions to
particles by ratio}, or a more particulate solution, {which will have
less Ag+ ions and more particles by ratio}.
I am of the opinion there is a difference in product identification and
efficacy when/if used for any given particular health issue. With
purchased products one will not have that choice because one doesn't know
how long that product has sat on the shelf, but it's a safe bet it's been
there long after any positively charged ions have formed into ion clusters
{particles}, hence that media bashed terminology 'colloidal silver'.
And I store mine in sealed clear glass containers in a cupboard, and they
remain unchanged for months in storage after solution stabilization point
has been reached.
Also, I'm not deterred in the slightest if some of those solutions take on
a yellow hue, it's still top quality stuff regardless of articles to the
contrary.
And finally, I do not agree with that "...'good stuff'..."
statement. What you will make in the kitchen is equal, and more likely
BETTER, than what you will get off the store shelf.
This is my *belief*.
