Hi! Have you changed your brand of distilled water? I have found that CVS brand makes a nicer CS than did another brand I used. Also, heating the water in a non metal container on the stove top before beginning seems to help, as does vigilant cleaning of electrodes throughout the process. I would look at ANYTHING which you CHANGED from the first and successful efforts! When you say "ceramic" containers, how are you using them? They might have a more porous surface which could either leech out or harbour impurities. I would stick with glass. We use a Pyrex 2 cup measuring cup to make the CS ...with much success. We then store the CS in brown glass containers. I hope this helps.

Hi, Could anyone give me any idea what would be causing my silver to come out balckish color instead of golden? The first three batches of silver I made (about a cup at a time) were golden colored and tastless but the last three have been blackish colored and bitter tasting.Also the wire got very pitted (had to replace it as there was barely anything left) I'm not doing anything differently that I know of. I use distilled water and glass and ceramic containers. I'm fairly new to making the silver and also new to the list, so forgive me if this tipic has been discussed before. Thanks for any help you can offer. Linda -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
