Hi
I've been doing small 50mg extractions for a while but last night I decided to extract from the rest of my powdered MHRB, 240g. I've never extracted this quantity before so Id be grateful if someone would verify my numbers and ratios.
Firstly, I added 3.5 litres of water to a glass Demi-John. I arrived at that volume by multiplying my MHRB amount, 240g, by 15. I read somewhere that the ideal amount of water is x15 the MHRB amount.
I added 240g of lye, then tested the PH using papers. They were a nice purple colour indicating PH 13-14.
I added some salt. Not 1:1 'cause I did not have much left.
How much solvent should I use in each pull? The glass demijohn
Is quite wide so I might find it tough pulling lesser amounts.
Looking forward to your advice!
Thanks
