Dear Brita, Nina, and Terry,

So many interesting opinions! Of course the opinion I like the most is Terry's because it makes my life easier. :o) I've only been doing the seeding thing about a week since I read other people are doing it, and I was happy with it. I only use maybe 5-10%, however, but even that seems to really save some time.

My CS is always a clear color and always stays a clear color (well, I guess the longest I have stored it is 1-1/2 or 2 mos., so I must admit I don't know about after that). What I don't like about it though is (probably because I turn the knob "slightly" higher than the recommended in-the-middle range because I would like it to be a little stronger), I get some occasional tiny silver flakes. Well, I don't want them. Period. Actually, the directions did say that if you wanted to filter to clean the filters with (I believe) CS a number of times (not just once). I was doing this. Then I discovered unbleached ones, and I thought this would be a GOOD thing. But now....mmmm. So maybe if I do the thing of using the unbleached ones and then using the distilled water, which seems to be the most recommended idea....???? Would paper napkins be better than the unbleached coffee filters, do you think?

Is it really necessary to clean the jar so much? I always just rinse it and wipe it. It's not dirty or anything, and I figure it was just CS anyway.....as I said, it always turns out perfectly clear and stays that way. I make mine any old time--morning, afternoon, night. I'm happy with the color, I've just become insecure all of a sudden since reading these warning things.

I have the Silvergen and I really like it, especially because it stirs itself all the time. I really like that feature. I just want to make sure I am making the best silver I can, especially since I was planning on giving some to a couple of family members.

Thanks for all your input!
Valerie
