This greatly helps not only by distributing fluids ave solids over a larger surface area at the base and thus greatly increasing the ability to properly mix its contents, but also makes the extraction easier due to the narrow neck. However, you must have the correct size flask or it can become a pain dealing with a flask that is too small or too big. Right. Ok, so say 50g bark. 750ml water. 50ml pulls. What would the ideal flask size be, 1L? or closer to 800ml? 1L would be best. This is also where you can prefect your home chemist skills. If the recipe's initial solution isnt enough, you can play around adjusting the volume and amonts/concentration of ingredients That would allow the solution to end up in the correct position once you add the naptha, which is in the top portion of the neck, and gives it the same effect a graduated cylinder/ colomn would. Correct ph through the different steps seems to Have the most drastic effect on end results. Its a pain to do initially, but will alleviate potential screw ups in the future, until you can dial in your own recipe or the recipe you use. The seperatory funne eliminates essentially all the headache associated with this though, which is why its highly recommended So IYE, at this point in my journey - just about to commence extraction 1 and with my limited "home chemistry set" - what are the best ways I can attain & maintain proper pH?

Thank you. Amazing resource! "Behind the visible are chains on chains of conscious beings ... who have no inherent form but change according to their whim, or the mind that sees them.
