CS Gang, I have been brewing CS for about five years now. I've settled on a brewing current of 1/2 ma (500 microamps) between 8 inch long, 12 gage silver electrodes, spaced 2 inches apart in 40 ounces of steam distilled water. No stirring. The finished CS is clear with no fuzzies on the elements. Laser beam shows as a very faint, fine tyndal line in the CS.
Resistance is used to determine when the product is "finished". Resistance of the fresh distilled water is taken before brewing, using the silver electrodes in place. This number for my setup is around 40,000 ohms. Brewing is started using the above parameters and continues until the resistance is about 5000 ohms. R is measured casually during the brewing cycle, maybe 3 or 4 times, until the target of approximately 5000 ohms is reached. (+/- 500 ohms, not critical) I attribute the lower resistance (higher conductance) to the ionic content of the CS, and the fine, weak beam of the laser confirms low amount of small silver particles. I have not had the colloidal silver tested, so PPM is unknown. Tom Bassett -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
