Silver Lab
Refining and minting silver via electrolysis. From scrap to .999 grain.
Problem
I track precious metals with StackLedger and wanted to close the loop — refining scrap silver and understanding the full chain from raw material to minted piece.
Solution
A home electrolysis setup for silver refining. Documents the process: cell construction, electrolyte chemistry, yield rates, and casting results. The refined grain feeds directly into StackLedger as tracked inventory.

Known Limitations
Yield varies by scrap purity. Still optimizing the process.
