Sorry I just reread your post and realized your machine was running for 17 hours that is way too long. It takes approximately four to six hours using the colloid master. Not sure exactly is going on there. I also don't cover mine with a box. After brewing I put it in a closed cupboard. I think there are few others who use the same machine, maybe they have some other ideas for you these are just my own.

It's now 7 AM and it's not done. I have a colloid master and when I did the test for water purity it was just fine (Arrowhead distilled) So I'm not sure what to do now. I'm concerned. I did want a higher PPM so it's set on 6. I'm concerned about the keep in the dark thing." Why would that make a difference. Can I lift the box and look at it or would that ruin the batch and what about taking the box off to remove the silver and let set for 36 hours. It's seems more difficult that I thought it would be because of the darkness thing. I seen a post here about fuzz does' that stop the process and what about lifting the box to see if I have fuzz. thanks for any input worried cook
