Hi Neville,
I have actually tried this and found nothing I can report anecdotally, however
I found that if your silver source is around 99.8 and above, which I find
American eagle coins usually are (as tested by XRF machine) then other factors
play a much more significant role, such as water, purity of brewing vessel and
cleaning materials (some detergents leave a residue to help sparkle, shine or
protection) or bleach from the tissues that may have been used to dry.
I use a 99.99 silver for most of my brewing now.
So I use cheap as possible washing up liquid( to ensure I avoid the cleaning
‘technology’ or in our case ‘residue’) to clean my borosilicate beaker (its
borosilicate so that less undesirable chemicals leach from the glass such as
those used in cheap glass and plastics) and rinse a couple of times with tap
water then a rinse with single distilled water.
Then commence with brewing with double distilled water. Tried single distil and
it has never worked for me. although in the future I will be trying RO water
and single distill.
cheers Neville keep up the straight talk!...

I'd be interested in knowing the difference in end product between the use of
99.98% and 99.99% pure fine silver electrodes?
Does that 0.2% difference in silver produce a different end result measurement
if using same electrode setup, same water and water temperature, same
equipment, same brewing time, same testing methods etc etc.
I follow your thinking Asif, if it ain't broke then don't mess with it <g>.
All it has to do is *work*, and that's 'perfect' enough for me without chasing
some impossible dream to achieve......*What* exactly?

It's not difficult to make more than adequate highly ionic CS, by brewing using
a very low current around 0.1 ma per sq inch. Extremely pure water and good
clean apparatus.
However I believe Mike is after the holy grail of perfection which in
unnecessary for certainly even the most ambitious uses of CS.
I can get stable 30-40 us every time using extremely low currents and lots of
time. And anyone who has been the recipient of the CS has been generally a
happy bunny!.
If I brew faster there is alway a gamble that after 15-20 us the brew can start
looking slightly yellow or gold.
Peace to all
Asif

I stopped brewing at about a stable 50 uS. Slight yellow tinge. It is
possible it could go higher if I just kept sticking the generator in it. But I
got bored. This concentration brew also does not appear to make me herx or
anything.
