Hello Friends This is my first time posting on the Nexus please advise if I posted in the wrong place or if my fomating is poor. I am also open to suggestions that might be able to help SWIM in their future extrations.

100g MHRB Mexico
300ml Water
02/25 7:14pm Arrived in Lab Frozen on its 2nd freeze cycle (SWIM's Friend started it at his house) In stainless pot - Left out to defrost
02/27 9:02am Transferred to Glass bowl and placed back Freezer for last cycle
— Fully frozen and removed to room temp to defrost
03/01 9:13am Fully defrosted - Transferred to 2000ml Media Bottle
9:26am added 10ml White Vinegar mixed with 40ml filtered water (PH 3ish)
Poured vinegar water into media bottle
9:31am placed media bottle in insta pot water bath set to sous vide at 40°c
Temp taken every hourish
9:30 - 25°c
10am - 35°c
10:30 - 38°c
11am - 42°c
12 - 43°c
2pm - 37°c
4pm - 43°c
6pm - 43°c
10:35pm returned to room temperature (PH 2 ish)
03/03
7:45am 72.1g of NaCI (salt) added to 150ml of hot water
- All the salt would not dissolve even at boiling. Ended up adding more water with a total of 600ml of salinate mixture
8:25am In a glass jar mixed 40g of sodium hydroxide with 100ml of water
8:51am added the Salinate mixture (NaCI) and the sodium hydroxide mixture (NaOH) to the media bottle. Gently swirling the bottle to until mixed fully. (PH 14 ?)
1:33pm Heated naphtha in the instpot on sous vide at 90°c
Pull 1 60ml naphtha added to media bottle mixed by flipping the bottle 3 times letting the layers separate and then mixing again a total of 3 rounds
After final separation using a pippet removed the naphtha into a glass gar that is placed in the fridge between pulls
3:46pm Pull 2 65ml naphtha - using the same method
3:50pm Pull 3 70ml naphtha - using same method
Note there are crystals already forming in the fridge
4:59pm Pull 4 50ml naphtha - using same method
Note the fresh naphtha being used for pulls is hot at 90°c
5:11pm Pull 5 50ml naphtha - using the same method
During this final pull, poured the top of the media bottle into 1000ml Narrow Erlenmeyer flask and toped it off with water to get the maximum amount of naphtha off the surface. Then placed the jar with the Pulled naphtha in the fridge
7:06pm Transferred the naphtha into a glassbaking dish. Then placed under a fan to reduce for 4 hours.
11pm SWIM placed the dish in the freezer.
03/04
6:03pm drained excess naphtha into coffee filter over a glass jar.
Let the crystals dry with a fan for a few hours before collecting
Total of 1.174g
I will try to post the finished picture in the comments since I ran out of space
Cheers
