Hi Alison, congratulations on your first batch! It is not always possible to see any reaction at all from the electrodes, depending upon the generator set-up. But the taste test should prove whether you have succeeded or not (most unlikely not to succeed). Also you should notice that one electrode darkens and the other goes grey, and may have a film build up.
A laser pointer shone through the solution will show a light beam (TE or Tyndall effect), which is another good indicator, although in some cases this will be very faint, even in a dark room. CS will be stable indefinitely or for only a couple of weeks, depending upon how it was made. When you find black fall-out on the bottom of your storage container it is probably on the way out.
