Hello again, MA!
My first batch was 32 oz brewed for one hour. I made a batch today- 32
oz brewed for 2 hours with no heat. During that period I had to clean
the rods three times because of the *fuzz*. Is this a normal thing?
My end result is quite clear. I hope to find a laser pen tomorrow, so I
will have some idea of the TE.
Thanks again for your very helpful suggestions!

*The spacing that works well for me is the width of the neck of a
Mason jar -- about 2". I just always do well using a one-quart Mason
jar. And I think I gave you a bad steer in my previous post -- I was
thinking that a quart was 16 ozs. and it's 32 ozs. That's what you
started with, right? There's nothing at all wrong with your set-up --
you just need to give it more time than your original try at 1 hour.
If you skip the heating, you'll have an easier time of controlling the
situation. What you want at the end of brewing is a clear colloid,
slightly metallic in taste and if you can afford an inexpensive laser
penlight and you shine it into the colloid, you should see the light
*beam*, not an entire lighted up jar of water. There's no telling how
many ppms you will have produced -- anywhere from 5 to 15 will be my
guess -- and it's all good. That's about it. I don't know why I've
got this large font all of a sudden -- sorry. MA*
