Alright, first three pulls on the STB are done. This MHRB is potent! Very potent to be exact. First pull I got 1.56 grams worth of spice from the soup. I packaged it in seals and stuck em in the freezer. Did pull #2 and pull #3 yesterday(1.5 weeks after first pull) with 30g of extra NaOH and that's currently in the fridge. By the looks of it, I think I have between 1 and 1.5 grams again. There's a thick cloud of crystals floating in the naphtha. They've not precipitating on the bottom yet so I think I'm going to leave it in there till tonight in the hopes that even more crystals will form. Also noticed that the back of my freezer is significantly colder than the front so pushed the dish all the way to the back.
There's also a nice sludge forming on top so I'm assuming that's jungle spice right there. I understood that that can be dissolved in vinegar and then after the layers seperated I can either pull the naphtha or the vinegar off. My naphtha also turned a nice darkish yellow so I'll be extracting some honey spice after my pulls leave no significant yield anymore.
As for the A/B mixture: I decided to toss it since it contained not a lot of MHRB and it felt like I was desperately trying to pull the spice from it. Next A/B attempt will be somewhere in January and I'll make sure to have pH testing papers around and boil the vinegar mix for 4 hours.
