Hi Steve. I started making this today. I using 2 silver 1 oz bars as electrodes and I am at 15 mA with current control set. I used 2 tablespoons of white vinegar with almost 2 (1650 ml) liters of distilled water. Im showing 13 volts to achieve 15 mA. According to the Faraday calc I should have 400 ppm in 11 hours. I will let you know how it turns out.
The silver citrate I made before worked out very well. Thanks for all the info.
