Hello All, I'm doing an STB on four 250 gm batches. 250gm MHRB plus 300 gms lye and 1000ml of water. On my second extraction on the first two batches and the naptha is no longer going to the top. Any advice is appreciated, don't remember having this issue before. In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order..Jung

Sounds like emulsion. Heat the soup in a water bath at a lowish temp for a couple hours. Lid off. One love What if the "truth" is: the "truth" is indescernible/unknowable/nonexistent? Then the closest we get is through being true to and with ourselves. Know thyself, nothing in excess, certainty brings insanity- Delphic Maxims DMT always has something new to show you  Question everything... including questioning everything... There's so much I could be wrong about and have no idea... All posts and supposed experiences are from an imaginary interdimensional being. This being has the proclivity and compulsion for delving in depths it shouldn't. Posts should be taken with a grain of salt. 👽

If heating doesnt help, add some water to dilute it, 1000ml water per 250 g of bark seems too thick to me.

Thanks! I usually heat on third extraction, I'll move it up on one and see what that yields! Namaste In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order..Jung

Also, committing 250g bark to an extraction and fouling it up is a good illustration of how it's perhaps better to stick to smaller batches... “There is a way of manipulating matter and energy so as to produce what modern scientists call 'a field of force'. The field acts on the observer and puts him in a privileged position vis-à-vis the universe. From this position he has access to the realities which are ordinarily hidden from us by time and space, matter and energy. This is what we call the Great Work." ― Jacques Bergier, quoting Fulcanelli

Double checked and I used 1500ml, it is soupy enough to pass thru a separatory funnel , it was powdered MHRB. First extract without re-x is at 2.3 grams light yellow, fluffy and soooo floral schmelling. I highly recommend buying a good lab evaporative dish, I was tired of glass casserole dishes with uneven bottoms.  In all chaos there is a cosmos, in all disorder a secret order..Jung
