Hey friends I am using 100g of ACRB I divided all the recipe numbers by 5 as that is the scale I'm doing So it was only 400ml of water and 20ml of vinegar It is evaporating awfully fast so I'm not exactly sure what I should do???  Add more water/vinegar? Please help Thank you

Add more and reduce the heat? You'll end up reducing at the end of the acid bath, so just keep re-adding I guess. Creator help me live in a way that will make my ancestors proud.

So what I did was add a lid Strain the little water that was left into another pot Add more water/vinegar and this time keep the lid on, and bring the boiling time closer to scale, I'll probably just have to do more boils 90minutes divided by a scale of 5 is 18 minutes which seems way to short, so this boil I'm aiming for 45 minutes  What do you think I also added a tiny bit more water and vinegar

Hey guys so at this point I've basified with the washing soda (I think that's what that does) and then added the naptha I have two different jars containing the basified Acaicia Soup One I put more Naphtha in- about 180ml because the called for 60ml was a thin layer The other has the called for amount 60ml naphtha I am worried about 1. The stuff all over the sides which does not look like it will be moving 2. Do I have enough naphtha I'm going to post this in the welcome discussion forum because I think it gets more views Jot attached the following image(s):  image.jpg (1,576kb) downloaded 64 time(s). image.jpg (1,100kb) downloaded 65 time(s). image.jpg (1,580kb) downloaded 65 time(s).

Just an update, I got it all figured out

So for anyone in the future who has the problem of some thick nasty muck causing terrible inseparable emulsions The problem for me was that I was using GROUND ACRB, and it required more filtering than I had thought But I got it all figured out with a bit of intuition Jot attached the following image(s): image.jpg (1,352kb) downloaded 60 time(s). image.jpg (1,508kb) downloaded 58 time(s).
