Hi Melly. It's my understanding that the rods should be a minimum of two inches apart -- I hang mine on either side of the opening of a Ball quart jar. I also bend the rods back a little so that they bow away from each other. What kind of generator are you using? Sounds to me like you have runaway brewing going on.
It is normal for the electrodes to develop a narrowing as the silver particles move from the bars to the water. And they will narrow where the silver bars are closest to each other. The fact that yours is narrowing in the center (the waist that you described) is probably a result of the bars being too close together. Mine narrow slightly at the center (over a year's time), but mostly they narrow at the bottom of the bars, not at the center. I have never, ever had my brewing jar change temperature -- i.e. *get warm*. Don't know what's up with that! :-( MA ________________________________ From: Melly Bag <tita_...@yahoo.com> To: silver-list@eskimo.com Sent: Thu, October 14, 2010 5:54:21 PM Subject: CS>Re: Help please Hi Experts, I brewed EIS today, the silver rods one inch apart. But i think it is short from the bottom of the Ball quart jar. It is color brown and cloudy again with plenty of silver floating on top and fuss at the bottom. Worse still, first time it happened to me, while rinsing and cleaning the rods, i noticed that one had a "waist" like it was overly eroded at that part and ready to break off. The jar got very warm and so with the rods. What did i do wrong? Thanks.
