Ruth Hi Ruth - Yes, thank you very much. The fact that you saw it easily, and it was milky instead of pale blue indicates the concentration is fairly high in both batches. The difference could be due to a number of factors: 1. The lighting must be identical for both samples. The easiest way to do this is to set them on a window ledge and step back several paces. 2. The glasses must be identical and clean. If one glass is by a different manufacturer, it may have different optical characteristics. 3. If they are shaped differently, they will reflect light a different way. 4. If they have any kind of design, this will affect the apparent density of the cloud. 5. I assume you added enough salt so both solutions are saturated. Three shakes in about 1 inch of glass seems to be fine. 6. If the electrodes did turn black, this means small particles may be generated. These tend to agglomerate after a few days and reduce the concentration. 7. You mentioned your electrodes stay clean. This means very little particle generation, so few of the ions are lost making particles. 8. When all these factors are taken care of, the main reason for a difference in density is one brew may have taken longer than the other. This deposited more ions in solution, resulting in a higher ppm. Best Regards, Mike Monett -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
