BTW, did Shroombee’s dry-mix-then-water paste this afternoon, already clearing and showing snowflakes.

Separate 15g powder runs of materials A, B, C (same material as previous 12 runs, those runs used 25g of each material)

Each run using:
3.75g pickling lime
45mL distilled water
6 pulls with EA vol: 30mL, then 5x22mL
0.7g citric acid

Same prep as described earlier for Standard Method, except mix powder & lime before adding water. Both methods use passive salting.

Results:
A = 1.2% (Filtrate 0.166g, Water Wash 0.009g)
B = 0.9% (Filtrate 0.131g, Water Wash 0.009g)
C = 1.4% (Filtrate 0.187g, Water Wash 0.017g)

Difference between dry mix vs wet mix is primarily due to Jar Water Wash residue yields.

My conclusion:
If you are getting brown, sticky crap from your water wash, try this approach to see if it eliminates the crap.
