Dear Andre, I have not any great experience, but before the experts answer, we think that you should not attempt to drink it. The bitter taste may be from Silver Nitrate or Silver Chloride, which are both toxic.

It must have taken you a long while to make your own distilled water but have you got a pure water tester to check the quality, and did you use your DMM to check that the new water was registering a current of not more than 1mA. > I have tried two different distilled waters, one store bought and the other > home made.

Initially I was boiling the water before prodution in Stainless Steel, now I am pre-boiling the water in a glass kettle. I have never boiled the water, I use pure water straight from the bottle. > Last night I let the production continue to see if I could make a dark golden > color.

This is when mine starts to produce sludge anyway, so I can see as well as read when to stop. My CS is clear when freshly made, and turns to a very, very pale champagne colour overnight. When you take a small amount from the jar it looks clear, and never goes any darker. A dark colour does not mean that there are more ppm in the colloid. > I am at odds as to what to try differently next time. Use a laser if you have one, I can't because they are illegal in England, I use a torch. Shine it through your CS in a darkened room. If you see a beam going straight through the jar, then you have a colloid. This is called the Tyndall Effect. Any other solution doesn't do this. > Thanks if you might be able to make any suggestions.
