I have found that temps over 110 deg F can produce a yellowish
CS. Probably what is happening is that excessive Brownian motion is
causing ion clusters to collide.
Coffee heaters usually exceed 110 deg.
Wipe the wires off any time a discernable deposit is present. It seems
that the rougher the wires get, the fewer deposits form. I have no idea why
[maybe as simple as a pitted surface has more surface area and distributes
current better]...just that deposits become less of a problem with use.
The stuff on the wires is not 'agglomeration'...it's plate out. A pitted
surface with oxides present [blackish color] 'might' be a less accessible
receptor for silver.

Hi Ken - I've been trying this and that trying to have less aglomeration
in my cs brew. I picked up a coffee cup warmer. I'll heat the dw in the
micro for 2 min. then set it on the coffee cup warmer. I'm using a qt.
canning jar as you suggested to me some time ago. It does take about 7
hours to complete a brew. I'm getting a little aglomeration that falls
off the wires as I pull it out of the water and a little silver floating
on top and the water is tinged yellow very lightly. I filter it through
unbleached coffee filters. I haven't tested how warm the water is kept,
but will. Also, once I've made several batches like this, I would to have
it tested for ppm.
Your suggestion regarding just wiping off the wires instead of making them
shiny is interesting. I'll try that.
Do you have any thoughts on this?
