Increasing the surface area of the electrodes would *decrease* the effective *resistance* between the electrodes which would *increase* the *current* between them, all other things being equal (electrode spacing, voltage, type and amount of water remaining the same in both examples). Hopefully, your power supply has the capacity to supply the increased current and your CS brewing would proceed at a faster rate. Moving the electrodes closer together will also increase the current. You may have to add stirring at some point if the currents get too high. Is that what you were asking about? Dan

If I were to substantially increase the surface area of the electrodes, would that alone serve to decrease the current between the then available electrode area?? Peter
