Hey y'all, I'm soon going to get my MAX I-ON :lol:, and there are just a couple small points I was hoping someone could clarify:
1. I don't see anywhere in the tek that we're to filter out the plant material after acidifying. Is it assumed that we'll filter, or are we leaving it all in for the basification?
2. When doing our pulls, we're instructed to mix or "shake". How much shake are we talking here? Aren't we worried about forming an emulsion, and, if we've left the bark in solution, getting bark sludge in the solvent?
With my previous extractions I've strained the material before converting, so if anyone could shed some light on these simple questions, I'd very much appreciate it. Thanks, and good wishes to all the travelers out there!
