i use a colloid master with an added magnetic stir plate and must clean the silver between batches. sometimes i clean the mid-batch, but usually don't bother.
the stronger the batch the more the black builds. the mag stir plate delays/lessens the black and also accelerates the brewing. -----Original Message----- From: les...@aol.com [mailto:les...@aol.com] Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2008 11:01 PM To: silver-list@eskimo.com Subject: CS>Generators Hi, Thanks for your replys to my last question. I recently asked about a generator sold to me by Mike Metcalf. I don't know how good this one is because I get black residue (flakes) from the silver wires if I use it for more than one batch, then I have to clean them. Does anyone know if this happens because I have the unit on between batches? I have been looking at the SiverGen and the Colloid Master Universal. The colloid model is at www.wishgranted.com. The Colloid Master has a kit which comes with a distiller. Both of these seem like much better units, please give me any of your opinions. I don't get on line all everyday but it is good to talk to others who feel similar to myself with regard to the silver usage. I do appreciate the information I have gotten from this site, thank you, Lynn.
