1st STB Extraction - Check quantities/method please?

[cassini]

Here we go -

800ml water with 80g lye.

Add 100g MHRB

Leave for 24 hours, stirring infrequently.

Then do 4 pulls as follows-
Heat 80ml naphtha and add to mixture. Leave each in for 1 hour, rolling the jar gently. After pull, let roughly half of the naphtha evap., then freeze.

Combine the 'leftover' naphtha after freezing and do a final pull.

If Re-X required, just add 15ml naphtha per gram of dirty spice and decant. Then maybe an IPA dissolution?

-------------------

Sound about right..??

Many thanks, NEXUS!

 

[alert]

1.) use 1500ml water if you are using powder
2.) no need to leave the base mix for 24 hours initially
3.) 15ml of *hot* naphtha (shot glass in pan of water that was boiling, removed from heat) per gram of spice and then a quick re-evap in ipa

How long to leave the base mix for? Would 24 hours hurt? (easier logistics that way for me)

For the Re-X - do you mean to add the IPA to the naphtha/spice mixture? Or decant and then add IPA? Or add the IPA to the dried clean spice?

THANKS!
