What number should I be looking for from an A/B on MHRB after washing and re X ing?
My latest extraction yielded 2.4 grams impure from 300g MHRB. I'm re X ing as we speak but I would imagine it's going to drop quite a bit as there was a fair bit of yellow sludge at the bottom of my glass.
STB's seem to yield higher for me than A/B's.
I've always got 2% or slightly above from mhrb before cleanup.
Stb or as of recent hybrid a/b stb teks yeild higher but it's dirtier.
I'm sure there are exceptions, if one has mastered a/b & figured out all the variables they may be able to get 2%.
Stb doesn't have to yeild dirty results & can come out fairly clean if you know how.
Ex. optimum ph & temperature of heat bath, good pipettes & separating layers cleanly, etc.
A mini a/b & Washing solvent with distilled water after pulling doesn't hurt either & should remove any basic contamination without removing any spice.
