Dick, Thanks for the tip. I have tried the drop ( I used a big drop) of honey when making 16 oz. CS and it came out a real milky colored yellow. The electrodes sure were clean though (no sludge).
Obviously having any form of food in the mix could cause unwanted silver compounds to be formed. Anyone want to comment on this?
