Thanks Kehoe for your response - I will continue to experiment.

Mitch,
This is the way I make mine. Mine is perfectly clear and has a very very
slight metalic taste.
I start with quart mason jar of steam distilled water. Let it "cook" for
15 minutes. Remove the wires wipe them off and stir the water. cook for
another 15 minutes, wipe the wires and stir. cook for 5 minutes, wipe stir,
repeat this step until I see a tyndal I like. Not very scientific, but it
works for me.

Subject: CS>Help with homemade generator
Hello, I have just recently seen the benefits of colloidal silver with
some warts that I HAD. Therefore... I have started to make my own cs at home.
I am not sure if I am successful with my attempts.
I made my generator from some instructions I found on the net. (made
with simple parts from Radio Shack). After using pure steam distilled water,
and after about 5 different attempts, varying timing and water temperature, I
am not sure what I have come up with! I have read so many different variations
on procedures for making it, I am not sure which to believe is the best or
correct way to go. I suppose that I would like to obtain a clear (not cloudy)
solution that is colorless or slightly yellow and has no more than 5 ppm. I am
really not interested in making gallons at a time - just a few ounces at a
time. I do not live in an area where I have access to a testing lab so that I
might get my cs tested for ppm; and is this entirely necessary anyway? Will
there be variations each time you make a "batch" or will the properties be
consistent if performed the same way each time? On the first try, I used 8
oz. room temp (72 degrees) water at 18 minutes. It turned out clear colored
but a little cloudy and tasted very "dirty" and not mineral tasting at all.
Next attempt was 8 oz. with 90 degrees for 8 minutes with virtually the same
results. Next I used 8 oz. at room temp and let go for 40 minutes - there was
much yellow clouding and the silver wires were very oxidized - the solution was
very cloudy and with an extremly dirty bitter taste. Also after this I noticed
large pitting holes on the silver wire. On the next try, I boiled the water,
16 oz. and let it run for a period of 14 minutes. I then got a very clear
solution that was very light yellow but it still had a slightly dirty bitter
taste.
My first (and only) experience with cs was a purchase from a health
food store. The solution was slightly yellow and perfectly clear and had such
a slight taste of minerals. The stuff that I have made so far does not have a
mineral taste but a dirty bitter (as if you had soaked some grimy oily car
engine bolts in a bucket of water) taste. Is this because I had too much
oxidation from the silver? I know my water must be good; it is steam distilled
so it should not have minerals. My wires are about 16 gauge.
Are there any standard methods for making cs at home using the home
made generator; as far as quantities, water temp and activation time? or is it
simply left up to the individual to try to reach some uniformity. Thanks for
any help that anyone can provide.
Kathy
