I've always had my Colloid Master switch set to standard. I rinse my quart
jars over and over and then rinse them again with distilled water. I scrub
the silver wires and rinse them with distilled water too. Some batches I heat
distilled water to almost boiling and add a little CS before starting it and
it only takes about 1 1/2 to 2 hours at 5.5. If I start cold, I still add a
little CS, just about a couple tablespoons maybe, and it takes many hours, but
I end up with the same results. The instructions said to strain it after 3
days in coffee filters and I just get a small amount of gray sediment (silver
oxide?). That first batch I made at 8 settled out a bit and became yellow
after several days passed. Does everyone get the gray sediment at the bottom?
