how much can one reduce in an extraction

[anabolic_hippie]

so usually i just blend up 1 kg of mimosa rootbark and add lye to it, then do the naptha pulls. what i was thinking to be more economical and envoirmentally friendly is to blend up the bark do a 10percent vinagar water methanol mix let it sit overnight then do 3 pulls after simmerng it on the stove and reducing it down in volume, doing the acid cook allows for me to reduce the amount of volume im working with thus making it so i dont have to use as much lye to boost up the ph. is this a bad idea is there less yeild this way, how much could i reduce it down too. any input on this meathod would be greatly apperciated

Anabolichippy

Lye can be washed away, OR substituted with Sodium Carbonate! Arm and hammer in walmart dish detergent aisle

I suggest you use the all-time favorite Marsofold Tek

but, instead of using Ammonia as a wash, you could do an acid/base wash with that vinegar and sodiumcarbonate

once base you could dissolve it in a vinegar/IPA solution.
or
you could even just wash in water and strain the insoluble contams in which ever solution.

Good luck anabolic hippy- send me your yield pics as SWIM is going to have a kilo himself real soon. hoped this helped. safe travelss!

I wouldn't simmer methanol on a stove.

1 kilo runs are quite big. Smoking a lot ?

what yield do you get from batchs of 1kg?

 

[anabolic_hippie]

i get 10 grams of yeild on 1 kg of bark yes i smoke it alot every other day, but i have to use so much lye the way i use i dont wanna use so much id like to find a meathod that cuts down on the lye, so i wanna cid cook it but wanna make sure i get as much yeild as i can.

You talk of extracting from kilos...how frequently are you extracting?
