The tarnish was on the silver rods and ran down the jar near where the rods 
ended. When I moved the rods it came off of them. I did strain the batch and it 
was a film of black dots on the bottom of the filter. The CS came out a soft 
yellowy clear color.

    this is a brand new machine. and My first batch. Does anyone know about the 
black tarnish?
    I did clean the jar with dish soap but I really rinsed in well. I flushed 
it because I was concerned about using soap. could this be a factor?

      Heavy deposits on the electrodes can defeat conductivity sensing auto off 
circuits by semi-insulating the electrodes. At some point, they just get 
heavier and heavier and make a mess.

      Don't worry about light. If you haven't used salt or baking soda, you can 
run a generator in direct sun and store CS on a sunny windowsill.
      Silver in 'only' distilled water is not photo-reactive.
      If you find that it is, there was something else in the water.

        Thanks it's been 26 hours and the light is still on. Should I through 
it out? I just took a peak and the silver rods are tarnished with black (like 
silver tarnish) and when I shook them it feel of and was making it's way to the 
bottom. Also there are two tarnish lines run down the jar. From the bottom of 
the rod to the bottom.
        any thoughts, please

          I have a colloid master as well. My usual setting is 6 to 6.5. The 
PPM tester is anywhere between 14 to 20. Which I understand correctly from the 
list is doubled to come up with the correct the PPM. It should be 
clear/slightly yellow at the end of the brewing cycle. It can take a bit of 
time. I do not let mine sit for 36 hours before I use it. I also do not filter 
it. Not sure if this causes any problems but I haven't turned gray yet

          Well I started my first batch yesterday at 4 PM. It's now 7 AM and 
it's not done. I have a colloid master and when I did the test for water purity 
it was just fine (Arrowhead distilled) So I'm not sure what to do now. I'm 
concerned. I did want a higher PPM so it's set on 6. I'm concerned about the 
keep in the dark thing." Why would that make a difference. Can I lift the box 
and look at it or would that ruin the batch and what about taking the box off 
to remove the silver and let set for 36 hours. It's seems more difficult that I 
thought it would be because of the darkness thing. I seen a post here about 
fuzz does' that stop the process and what about lifting the box to see if I 
have fuzz.


          thanks for any input
