Handbook tek with powder

[Cercle]

Hello nexians,

Using Lazymantek with MHBR powder from compras and no yield !

I'm actually trying a A/B tek

Is this will work ?

Using 100g of MHBR, 1L of vinegar 8, NaoH and naphta

Cooking the powder in vinegar , boilingat first then stop and warming it up for 3H, adding vinegar when needed.

My probleme is in the handbook they separate the bark from the acid and cook it for three time, since i have powder i cannot separate, so just cooking it for 3-4 hours then une a filtre will be good ?

I hope you can help.

Have a nice day

You should boil in a mix of water & vinegar, for 100g MHRB you can put 500mL water + 100mL vinegar for example (or more if you want).

You boil at least 3 times, for filtering you can wait few hours and decant first it will be much easier to filter (you don't have to filter perfectly).

After you finished boiling, you reduce all to maybe 200mL (wait few hours/decant/filter if needed) and then base from there.

Good luck.

My vinegar is 8% concentrate.

It's allready on the fire, using about 800ml of vinegar because i was thinking about cooking it longer instead of making 3 pull.
Should i make it boild every hours for 3-4 hours and let it on little fire le rest of the time ?

Do you think i should add water ? is the mix too acid ?
Is the mimosa wasted ?

Nothing is wasted but it is too acid, you will just have to add more lye later
You can add at least as much water and reduce, vinegar will also evaporate.

As for the boiling, 3x 1h is fine if you decant/filter between boils.

Hope that helps.

Ok this really help , thank you for your time and advice

But for reducing 1,5 litre ( 800ml+700ml H2O ) i think 1 hours will not be enough.

I think i'll reduce it maybe 1/2 or 2/3.
And i have doubt about the decant part when i see the mix :s.

Whatever, i let you know if it's turn wewell

Peace

If you let it settle few hours or even more, overnight, it will be easier to decant.

If you are in a hurry, decant as much as possible, then add more vinegar/water in plant material and boil more. You can also try to squeeze it through cheese cloth or nylon socks

It is very important to decant/filter so the alkaloids have more room to migrate in next boils. Take your time and you will be rewarded.

Good luck!

Can you please rephrasing " giving some room" (sorry i usually speak french ).

I wanted to skip the filtring phase because the mix is really homogene .
I have reduce the original mix to half and add some acidified water. I'm gonna do this 3 time and only then filtrate with a nilon sock ( thank you for that idea i just went out of coffe filter )
