Hey Family!
I got a crazy idea to take elements of a couple Teks and throw them together to see what kind of % yield and how fast the bark gives up its contents.
Hybrid-Hybrid Tek
1. 400 g MHRB ground in a blender. Some powder, some shredded
2. Put it in a stainless pot. Covered with purified water until all bark is wet; water just above
level of bark.
3.Brought to a boil, then heat reduced and allowed to simmer until barely any water moves when you tilt pan. Took a little over 2 hours to stew down.
4. Set pot aside to come to room temp.
5. Put pot in 4 degrees F freezer until fully frozen (a la CYB's Max Ion)
6. Thawed on stove; prepared for Acidification
7. 400mL 5% acetic acid added to hot pot, increased heat to simmer.
8. 400mL purified water added within minutes to increase to Soupy consistency
9. Simmered the acid soup for a cpl hours until it reduced.
10. Almost forgot to salt!! ( I added another 400 mL purified water and 70g of sea salt) turned the heat up a little and stirred constantly for about 5-6 mins
11. Set heat to low, after simmer was achieved and went to bed. 7 hrs at low heat.
12. Woke to find a layer of SOMETHING congealing at the top of my stew. (fats?tannins?)
13. Increased heat to bring back to simmer. Almost 3.5 Qts in pot reduced to just over 2 Qts.
14. Decanted to base and pull vessels.
15. I have 1250mL of sludge in one, and 550mL of sludge in another.
16. They are currently sitting to come to room temp.; I will test pH and then calculate the amount
of NaOH (lye) to add, and test again to make sure I achieve at least 11 or 12. (will update
amounts used aft tek)
17. The plan is to warm bathe them and agitate every hour or so all day today and pull this evening
with Naptha.
18. Freeze Precipitate
19. Scrape up the Goodies
20. Decide if Re-x is warranted.
So, I will definitely be back to Update this one.... Just thought, if freezing can snap cell walls, why not get them SATURATED in hot solution, then Freeze? THEN acidify, salt, base, and pull my way to Kikkers Glory!!
**Any tips, critique points, or discussion is GREATLY APPRECIATED !!
Love & Light,
