CWE workflow on grinded syrian rue & no filter problems.

Migrated topic.

Boiling whole seeds is the only reasonable way IMHO.
Indeed.

Only good way to grind rue seeds is a drying session in the oven first.
Lost like 5 % of weight in the process.
Cant recall what I did, maybe 30 mins at 150 deg C? Just guessing.

Now it's pressure pot swings on my stove, multiple of those swings in a wash.
Water in and out da seeds with each swing ...
All you need and no hassle 8)

Jees, how long do you PC each swing and how many swings do you do? What pH do you start at before the PC? How many ml of water per g of rue? How many times do you chance the acidic water? 6% final yield I assume?

I've tried to PC whole seeds but I think I over did it timewise (1.5h) and got some mush in the extract.

Thanks!
 
Sorry Loveall I missed your post so far.

For 150 to 200 gr seeds I used like 1 to 1.3 liter per wash.
First wash little more as the seeds are thirsty then.
3 pressure swings per wash of 30 to 45 mins per swing.
Keeping pH between 3 and 4 at all times.
I just do all that without knowing if other numbers work as well or perhaps better, I've never compared, but a 6% FB or 7% mansked tells me a big fat okay.

This doesn't actually belong in a grinded seeds thread but here you go :thumb_up:
