Hi can anyone tell swim if this ratio is ok please?
100g powdered 100g lye 2.25l h20.
Also how long before first pull? THANKS VERY MUCH!

Cutting the water in half might be a good idea, otherwise it looks good.

5-15 minutes per pull.

THANKS SOOO MUCH!

1.5 x 750 mL = 1.13L. A decent yield should be obtained from 2.25L/100g bark, but it may not be completely optimal.

What do you mean by bubbles? Is it an emulsion? That's normal, but a sign of excessive mixing or too low pH.

less water would be better. swim is currently doing a 100gmhrb/100lye/1.7l STB and is having great results.

with that much water you may have to add a bit more naoh if the layers are having a hard time seperating

THANKS again! ooops swim thought it was 15ml per gram.
15ml x 100g= 1500 plus another half 750= 2250

O wait, you're right. 15mL H2O/1g bark x 100g bark = 1500mL H20. Multiply by 1.5 cuz of powdered bark = 2.25L. I'm retarded.

If you haven't added naphtha yet then bubbles shouldn't be a problem. Add naphtha and stir just hard enough that an emulsion doesn't form. Yer doin' fine.

I dont think you're retarded VERY helpful and kind to swim...
Swim really appreciates it!
