MHRB, finely powdered in my VitaMixer.
Cyb's Maximus Ionicus Tek.
3 jars, 50g MHRB each jar.
Vinegar, sea salt, lye, VM&P Naphtha.
I've done a few dozen extracts, all the tek's here are wonderful and I try to follow them plus I'm lucky, never had a real bad extraction, and this one is no exception.
I had been (I thought) doing real well with nice yields using quite warm Naphtha - 75-80 C.
But I keep reading here, and I read the downside of that high-temp: pulling more oils/fats/undesirables.
So, let's watch the temps carefully, don't allow much over 50C.
My expectation - compared to *my* previous pulls: probably less product, but likely 'cleaner' (my read: whiter).
After a full 48 in the freezer, I scraped last night.
As you can see, a very healthy yield, I will weigh and post if this thread isn't boring to you.
But virtually all yellow. Other extracts yield maybe 50/50 white/yellow for me? So, I'm surprised there.
No complaints here, nothing but gratitude.
I will weigh, re-crystallize, and weigh again and post (assuming interest here).
Any intelligent folk care to comment to this recipe-following-layman?
Thanks again, nexus, for everything.
