To add to what Ode said below: seeding a quart batch with about 1/4 to
1/6 of previously made CS brings the time down to around 3-4 hours.

Batch time depends on initial water quality and desired
strength..very pure water takes longer.
Typically a quart batch will take between 7 and 9 hours to reach 15 PPM
Making 4 quarts takes less time than making a gallon. Some of the
first quart can be used to "seed" the next to reduce over all time
significantly, eliminating the water quality variable 'ramp up to
current' period.
Since making very large batches spends a lot more time at the higher
concentrations, if anything CAN go wrong, the odds increase that it
will go wrong.
There is no mechanical limit to batch size, but environmental elements
are better controlled making smaller batches.
You WILL need the magnetic stirrer for anything over a quart. [The
Thermal Convection stirrer poops out at over 8 inches in vertical
height.. a quart jar is about 6 1/2" tall]
