I recently identified Acacia Mearnsii throughout my local area. I found one that had been uprooted by another tree during a storm, I harvested as many different parts as I could.
As for some extra info on the tree I harvested, it flowered during the night before.
Today I prepared 150g of undried Acacia Mearnsii bark and placed it into a HDPE container. I filled it with boiling water until there was 2cm+ of water above the Bark.
I added an unknown amount of Hydrochloric Acid to lower the PH and then lit it sit for around 45 minutes.
I weighed up 50g of Sodium Hydroxide and proceeded to add it to the mixture slowly, by around 35g the liquid had started to turn brown-black and by 50g I was satisfied with the colour.
After letting the liquid cool down I added 50ml of Shellite, pressing inwards against the container and then screwing on the cap allowed me to work with pressure build up.
After letting the liquid sit for 2 minutes I siphoned up a good amount of Yellow "Urine" coloured Shellite.
- Here's a picture of the liquid before Freeze Precipitation
- I'm 3-4 hours into Freeze Precipitation at the moment and the liquid's turned a milky white colour, I can also notice a cloud moving around if I shake the shot glass.
I'll bump this thread when I finish Freeze Precipitation.
