Extraction Vessel

[bigtdotcom]

Hi All! I am just days away from my first ACRB extraction using this tek.... ACRB TEK 100g "PICS" (Newbie Friendly) - A/B - Welcome to the DMT-Nexus

My only problem is finding the right vessel to mix my soup in. In the Tek it calls for a 2 liter bottle, I was hoping to find a glass 2 liter bottle but have not had any luck. The best i can find is 1.75 liter or 3 liter (wine bottle). 2 liter pop/soft drink bottles are easy to find eg coke bottle but im not sure if they will be safe to use?

So i'm looking to find out if a coke bottle would work? (im guessing it wont)

Or if the amounts in the mentioned tek can be altered to suite a 1.75 or 3 liter bottle.

Thanks

Idk much about kitchen alternatives for an extraction vessel, I think I saw earthwalker mention something in the past. Maybe he'll have some insight. What comes to mind is simply a 2l erlenmeyer flask. These have the advantage of allowing you to heat them directly, and being able to withstand the thermal shock of adding lye. That by itself is very exothermic.

Good luck with your extraction friend!

Just get 2 x 1ltr bottles and split the extraction in 2...it's as simple as that.

Thanks for clearing that up cyb.

So baslicly for each 1 liter bottle i need to..

50g bark added to 250mls water..freeze/ Thaw
Add 25-30mls of vineger so ph is 2-3
Heat for 1.5 hours
Make saline solution with 500ml water and 40g table salt, add to soup
Add 25g lye to 150mls water then add to soup, ph should be over 12
50mls naptha pulls

In a new 1lter bottle andd 250mls water and ajust ph to 2-3
siphon off naphta
Add 25g of lye to 100mls of water and add to 1 liter bottle
50-70mls naptha pulls
freeze precip

Hi , you don't even really need a 2ltr bottle you could get away with 1.5 ltr or anywhere in between ,, if you do go with a smaller bottle ie 1.5ltr just use less water when mixing the saline solution , or as cyb said just go with a 50g extraction with cybs tek Cybs' Hybrid ATB 'Salt' Tek - DMT-Nexus Wiki just include the mini AB at the end .

For a 50g extraction I use a 1 liter vessel, and it's only ever half full. you should be plenty good.

I use a 1000ml flat bottom boiling flask with a short neck & a glass stopper.
You can do the entire extraction in it & no plastic, rubber, or metal on the lid.
I up the amount of bark to 65g & use 1000ml water, 65g lye, & 50ml solvent per pull.
If you have a nice glass pipette or syringe that can reach down the neck it works perfectly.
Fairly cheap as well

Thanks for all the helpful info guys, much appreciated. I think I will use a 1.5liter bottle as earthwalker suggested...Wine comes in 1.5 liter bottle so that way i can enjoy the wine before using the bottle

I just used a 750ml bottle for 100 grams of Acacia, you'll be fine with a smaller bottle. Yield was 1.3%, going to try for more in a bit

Maybe not all in one go, immediately before the extraction attempt

I got a few glass giant pickle jars from the recycling at a restaurant tested them by slowly heating in a crockpot to see if they stress cracked first. I also have a flask with a long neck that makes pulling easier and faster. Wider jars are more difficult IMO but you can work with more material. I'd almost rather pull a bigger batch but purely because of my time budget.

somthin like this.
that's how i roll.
(i literally roll them, with basic phase and nonpolar phase, then set upright and open the caps to vent)

4L reagent bottles are my fermentation vessels too.

That is, a fantastic deal on those bottles! I usually pay about that much apiece >.<
