Thank you for your insight, MA. I will definitely take this into consideration for my next batch. This is all a learning experience for me.

For those who stop brewing when the beard/fuzz appears, what ppm do you end up with?

Thanks,
Raine

brew-time (I was brewing 32 oz, shooting for 10 ppm. It isn't likely that one hour of brew time will produce 10 ppms in 32 ozs. of DW with 27 volts of current. More likely that you will need at least 4-5 hours of brew time. In fact, it would likely take that much time to produce 10 ppms in _16_ ozs. of DW -- and you're using twice that amount. FWIW MA
