Hi folks!
SWIM attemped STB extraction for a second time today, and managed quite a mess-up in the process. He accidentaly poured lamp oil instead of the usual naphta into his jug full of MHRB "juice".
It seems that lamp oil consisted of a mix of light (similar to naphta) and heavy particles, which lead to an unusual separation. Between the "naphta" and "juice" layers there is now a third layer, which I guess is a heavy oil. It has a dark pink color and is full of MHRB stuff.
So folks, what do you think? Is there a way to save the batch? Perhaps adding more naphta and ignoring the middle layer would work? The upper level as it is very thin and I wouldn't be really able to decant it. Middle pink layer is several times larger than the upper, clear one.
