Ivan, thanks I will be starting a new and improved batch tonight. Why the 50mm spacing? Does that serve to limit arcing? My generator has jacks for the electrodes which are soldered in a matching male jack. These are 20mm apart, but I do not have to use that spacing with clips. I'll cut the silver to match both the 1/2 and 1 gal containers in length They are approx the same depth. I'll closely monitor the brewing current as it progresses and use constant stirring as before. That way I can program the %current reduction with some accuracy. With the 1/2 gallon container and no current limiting and a shorter electrode length I was going approx.5 hrs. Do you really think a day or two?? How do other units get the job done quicker?
radishes, Glenn
