I get a brew measuring 14.8 on PWT with very light tindall, but has sparkles.  
After a few hours the tindall completely disappears, and PWT shows 9ppm..  What 
is it with sparkles?

  Hi "Ole Bob",

  As usual, I have a few questions. First, this is my understanding. Please 
correct me if I am wrong.

  Ag+ = silver ions
  NO = nitric oxide
  NO3 = nitrate

  Question 1. You say you are measuring NO3 (nitrate). Why hasn't the NO3 
combined with the Ag+ (silver ions) to form AgNO3 (silver nitrate)?   

  Question 2. Evidently NO3 decreases oxygen flow in the body and NO increases 
it. I did a quick search on the web for "nitric oxide" and found all sorts of 
claims about how swell it is. Wouldn't one cancel out the other?

  I've been jump starting my brew by hitting it with 100vdc and backing it down 
when the action starts but I am now wondering if I should modify my method.

  As always,
  Thank you for your time.

  Andy

  I just received two samples of CS made with 90 volts DC. I would not
  call this LVDC but rather MVDC, and they both had  serious problems.

  The CS was crystal clear, one with a very weak T.E., and the other with
  a medium T.E., both had almost no sparkles.
  Let me detail the test results and my comments.

  A 6 hour brew at 90 Volts dropping to 24.5 volts and 3.24 ma.
  Conductance = 27.5 uS/cc; pH = 5.04; Ag+ = 14.5; T.E. very weak with
  very few sparkles, and no taste. sound great doesn't it? I could not
  read the NO3 as something in the brew caused a turbidity to appear in
  the sample. The NO = 1.44 PPM which is greater than the FDA allowance of
  1 PPM.

  A 31 hour brew at 90 Volts dropping to 5 volt and 5.65 ma.
  Conductance = 139 uS/cc !!! ; pH = 5.34; Ag+ = 52.8 PPM; Medium T.E.
  with very few sparkles, but with an after taste.
  WOW 52.8  ppm, BUT note the NO3 = 5 PPM and the NO = 4 PPM and both show
  a turbidity during these tests.

  Before you screw around with voltages over about 37 volts, get someone
  to check these two items for you, as they are not desireable. No wonder
  the medical profession has problems with home made cs !!!!!

  I would only use this material externally.

  I guess I am "soon old and late smart" as I have not tested other
  people's CS made with high voltages, but something triggered me to run
  these tests, which I normally do not do for LVDC, but this is not
  LVDC!!!
