OK, First, the sea salt question. Concentrace is the water taken from the Great Salt Lake in Utah. The GSL is unusual in that water flows into the Lake, but none flows out. The reason it doesnt overflow is because the water evaporates, due to the hot temp in Utah. So the water gets thicker and thicker with minerals each year. People travel from all over to take Mineral baths in this water. It is so thick, if you wade out into it, you will only sink up to your waste or armpits. There are no fish living in this water. Trace Minerals Research takes 26 gallons of this water, removes most of the sodium, and distills it to one gallon. Thats why the recommended dosage is ¼ tsp/2Xday. Yes, you get minerals from sea salt, but to get the necessary amount of minerals to meet your bodys needs from sea salt, you would end up consuming way too much sodium. Here in Canada, I sell 4 oz. (45 days worth) for $15 (Canadian, about $10 US), but surely cheaper in the US. Mike, Im not selling here! Try all the HF stores around you, first!
On the subject of daisy-chaining adapters to make CS: Assuming from the start that all the adapters you want to use are DC and not AC (you must be certain), you will need to have a way to determine which wire coming from the adapter is + (positive), and which is (negative). You either need to have a volt meter or know someone who does, or you can take the adapters to a Radio Shack or a TV repair shop and ask them to determine it for you. Lets say that you have 3 adapters you can use (you dont need them for your cordless phone or cassette player). I dont know if it matters if their voltages are the same, maybe the tech types on the list can answer that one. But lets say you have three 12-volt adapters to use. After you have cut off the plugs on the ends, and have determined which wire is + or - (and marked them with a bit of masking tape), you connect them like this: Take the + wire from adapter #1 (whichever one you use first) and join it to the wire from adapter #2. Take the + wire from adapter #2 and join it to the wire from adapter #3. Put some electric tape around these joined wires to keep them from touching anything. You can do this with as many adapters as you want. 36 volts makes CS faster than 12 volts, 48 faster than 36, etc. You will always have one negative and one positive wire left over to attach your alligator clips to. To make it most convenient, get one of those power bar strips that let you plug in six items at once, preferably with an off-on switch. Then you can get all three or four adapters set up and hooked up to your wires and turn them all on at once. If no switch, set it all up and then plug the power strip in. All the adapters will have varying amps ranging from 150 milliamps to as much as 1500 milliamps. It doesnt matter, your CS will be done before the amps (current) has reached anywhere near that. Brewing times: This is a harder thing to estimate, because of varying water qualities, air pollution, angle of the moon, and sweetness of heart (Im kidding). With 12 volts, on your first batch (meaning you dont have any CS to use as a starter), I always used 8 oz. of DW. Two hours should give you a decent ppm of CS (5-10 ppm). If you overcook it, you will know because the CS will be dark and dirty (this is still good, usable, effective CS, by the way, but people are resistant to drinking dark, dirty liquids). So its simple you stop brewing just before it gets dirty. You dont have to overcook any batches to find out, either, you just have to be watching. As soon as the water starts to become murky, stop brewing. Subtract 5-10 minutes from the time it took for the water to start becoming murky, and you know what your proper brewing time is. If you use a bubbler or some kind of stirring device, there will be less stuff on your wires, but that is merely a convenience, not a necessity. For all subsequent batches, use this amount of CS as a starter = 8 oz. CS with 24 oz. DW to make 32 oz. Of CS. Save 8 oz. of each batch as a starter for the next batch. In one-quart batches, I place my wires 2 apart. Reduce the brewing time by half, or more. If your CS acquires a color after a day or two, brew 10 minutes less your next batch. Keep reducing until you get a CS that doesnt change color. This is most of the instructions from the CS Brewing instructions file, one of 40+ articles in a zip file that I will send as an email attachment to anyone who asks for it.
