I have the SG6-very happy with my generator. I have done some experiementing with the way I make my CS.
I would like to compare my brew with stirring vs. bubbling and please comments as too the differences. I use a 64 fl. oz. coffee creamer container to make my CS. Some days...using the stir....it seems to take longer. Not observant enough to say why one day is different vs. another. Here are the comparisons of the last two batches made: --First brew: Stirred batch. Seeded, ppm per Hanna PWT 4ppm. I cleaned electrodes (with heavy build up) 3 x's during the brew. After 36 hours of generation...the ppm per Hanna was about 18ppm. Indicator light, indicating that the brew had not reached 20pppm (as dialed) was still on. My stirred CS ALWAYS reads a lower number the next day, when retested. Often I will turn the generator back on, let it run again until the indicator light goes off. Allowed the brew to sit overnight. A lot of precipitate in the container. Did not bother to retest the ppm. ( I expected it to be lower than what measured the night before) I gave up on that brew...used it in the bathwater.... --Second brew: Bubbled batch-stirrer removed. Seeded DW ppm at start 4ppm. 10 hrs. later: indicator light off. I did not clean the electrodes at all. I shut down the generator. Did not test the ppm. left til this AM, testing ppm with Hanna, the ppm is 26ppm. (set at 20ppm) Some, but little precipitate....electrodes with little build up. My observed main points -bubbled CS consistently more stable after brew sits (ppm's do not fall from one day to the next) -bubbled CS consistently has less build up on the electrodes, less precipitate in the container. -bubbled CS consistently able to achieve higher ppm (per Hanna) -occassionally will get pale yellow CS with stir, never with bubbled -consistently stirred CS will turn ashen with even minimal exposure to light, bubbled does not seem to (I have not specifically ''tested'' this.) -brew time for higher ppm's consistenly quicker with bubbler. (this case 36 hours for less than 20ppm stirred vs. 10 hrs. for 26ppm bubbled) I have no clue why such a difference. I know Ole Bob you do not like the bubbler, I believe also Trem that you prefer stir.... Could someone explain some of these differences for me...in terms I could understand.... and if bubbling is not good, why....when it appears to make a better product?
