I'm pretty sure the key is to keep the current density low, and provide a means to stabilize the current. It also seems to work best with equal area for the anode and cathode. You could increase the silver wetted area by adding more rods. The brew time would be inversely proportional to the wetted area. > I brew with 1 liter, of room temp water, and 2 x 12g rods, 7" > looped.

Run for a total of 5hrs. 5 hrs at 1 mA is 5 * 3600 * 1e-3 = 18 Coulombs. Running at 0.25 mA would take 20 hrs. If you are using 1 liter per day, you could simply run for 24 hrs, pour the cs into another container, and start another batch. It would be slightly stronger. > I then have a PWT reading in the vicinity of 18ppm. The brew is > very clear, no build up, no mess, but I do use a mechanical > stirrer.

Perhaps the high ion density still causes particles to form, but they are too small to cause any visible effects. This would reduce the number of silver ions available to kill bugs. > Best wishes, Margaret. Best Regards, Mike Monett -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
