The only thing a starter does is to speed up the CS-making process a bit. But it also means you have to be more careful of how long you let the generator run. If you are making 16 ounces of CS in a batch, then adding 1 ounce of CS from your previous batch will probably cut the "brewing" time in half. If you use a CS generator that has an automatic shutoff, then you don't have to worry about the time. The reason a starter helps is that pure distilled water doesn't conduct electricity very well -- very poorly, in fact. So the first 15 minutes (for 16 ounces) or more you're making very little CS because there's very little current flow. Once there's enough CS made, then the current flow increases and the process speeds up. A starter allows the increased current from the start of the process. -- Dean -- from (almost) Des Moines -- KB0ZDF -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
