Is this normal?

[andronaut]

SWIM did Noman's STB tek and his crystals came out white as snow. It seems like everywhere I look, people speak of crystals rarely turning out white when doing STB teks. SWIM didn't do anything to wash the crystals either.

shoot buddy that looks like you did everything right, very clean makes me want to try it :thumb_up:

 

[VanillaSpice]

did you use whole, shredded or pre-powdered bark?

 

[andronaut]

Pre-Powdered Brazillian mhrb. If you'd like to know the supplier, shoot me a PM

 

[Ancotar]

Brazilian Pre-powdered is a very good choice.

It helps expedite extraction times depending on which method you want to use.

I am very impressed with the above pic! Awesome job! Very "sugary"!

Pre powdered definitely seems to yield more. What frustrates me is you must agitate very carefully. Too rough and lots of fats and tannins pull into the naptha...I've ended up with a solid frozen yellowish to orange chunk which dissolves out of the freezer. Any chance it is caused by anything other than heavy agitation?

You'd have to describe your process but leaving the soup sit for longer than 30 minutes before you start pulling and youll start getting a lot of oils/fats

 

[VanillaSpice]

Without describing it I can say that is most likely it lol I have a bad habit of getting wrapped up in other activities and there it sits. And when this occurs the base is made and the mhrb is added once the base clears. Usually let it sit for 24 hours, maybe thats not necessary? just figured the time would aid in the amount released? then the naptha goes in, agitate 3-4 times over 24 hours then do the first pull. I definitely feel like the time is what is doing it. The whole process should get done over a day or two for best results possibly? or atleast a pull a day once the naptha is in.

If your using powdered youd be surprised how fast you can start pulling spice.
powdered doesnt need to sit anywhere near that long

 

[VanillaSpice]

cool, ill try a whole run in one day this weekend, appreciated :thumb_up:

how long would you recommend with powdered?

 

[Psyren]

once i mix the root bark into the lye water i dont let it sit any longer than 30 minutes. Then do the three pulls asap. Ill average 1.5% yield with little to no discoloration

SWIM did Whatchas STB Tek and only let it sit for 30-45 min before doing pulls. Does the whole process up to freeze precip in about 3-5 hours. Had beautiful, super potent white crystals the first time around. Best SWIM ever saw. Plus the tek has a sodium carbonate, cold water and magnesium sulfate wash, plus it gets done on the quickness :thumb_up: .
