I have a lot of kids and family around constantly, so I can't be boiling up rue in a pot as the smell will mess them up. I'm open to any methods, however imaginative. Any way to neutralize the odour would be sweet. Or even an outdoor brewing, but I'm stuck for ideas.

Full spectrum extract for vaporisation is the desired outcome. Could I use a pressure cooker? Or perhaps an outdoor stove? I'd like to keep it as inexpensive as possible. A hot or cold water extraction tek would be excellent.

Hot plate in the garage, jobs a goodun.

I remember brewing with a friend's hotplate and the damn thing struggled to even boil water. I doubt it was a very powerful one though, at least but in some way it did put me off using one. The brews came out dud half the time which sucked viciously. What kind of wattage would you recommend?

People generally love my rue extraction smell. They think something's cooking

I use this and it works a treat, even for brewing big vats of Aya.

How hot does it get? Amazon are doing a great deal on some induction hobs which sounds excellent. Regardless, just how fast does it actually boil at 1500w?

Debating whether to grab an induction hob or not. All options are open really. I'm just wary of buying something that turns out to be a real piece of crap that just doesn't do the job.

It works great, I just finished extracting 100g of Rue on it and got 4.2g of extract.

Lovely jubbly

Excellent! Can't believe I've waited all this time to ask such a simple question either. Thanks very much, this is well and truly appreciated

just curious....which tek did you use?

gibran2 caapi tek. the yield is before a manske so it will drop a little.

Ok, so you do the manske because it just removes a little more of the impurities or something right?


Just asking because I did gibrans tek on some rue and when I took the harmalas they worked perfect and I didn't do a manske or any more cleaning of the harmalas.

Thanks.

the manske would get rid of the vascine ect, and leave you with Harmalas.

So if I am ok with leaving the vascine in there, I will be fine not doing the manske. Got it.
