Contemplating an extraction of ACRB with a twist:

After the pulverization of the bark with my Vita-mix, I'm thinking of another step.
Using the Vitamix to blend the bark in the acetic acid/polar solvent, prior to heating.
The idea being to break down the cell walls mechanically with the help of the liquid viscosity, opposed to air alone.
Make a soup, then cook it as usual. And so on and so forth per A/B extracationary methodology.
It's an idea, and probably delusional. But I have new, sharp blades, and am up for slicing, dicing, and spicing!

I'm going for 1000g, using my tweaked recipe from the invaluable knowledge found here (Marsofold mainly, you're da Man!)
Thanks infinite thanks!
Hoping for 7 grams, which is realistic from my experience with the A. Confusa in these parts.
I will post any worthwhile information.

I think its a good idea Ive had the same thought but clearly not the same quality of utensil! It should also help the alkaloids get dissolved into the liquid.
How much of a difference to final yeild it would make I dont know maybe you could find out?

After a rethink, I withheld the acetic acid. Instead, I did the whirlybird with 2300 mils of distilled water. It made a very fine porridge of acacia slag.
For the fun of it, I'm going to do a 2 cycle freeze thaw of the slag, prior to the standard A/B extraction. I guess I'm all in for the concept of cell wall bursting, busting and freeze/ thaw emancipation. Let's open up the Zoo, and let all the molecules out!
Personally, I think it's basically extraction masturbation, but it's fun, it's a worthy project, and maybe it works a little?
No way for me to test it, so it's all for the love of the process, the tree, and the mind space, mind spice, and ultimately the exploration of mind
