So having extracted 1% from my very first attempt at the Lazyman STB tek, I thought I could possibly expand on this with a short A/B at the start to see if even more can be extracted from my precious MHRB.
I want to do a test;
Take 50g MHRB powdered.
Add 750ml of Water/Vinegar (pH4 or close) to a pan.
Add MHRB and simmer for 1 hour 30 mins.
Allow to cool, strain bark and and transfer MHRB liquid to a jar, add clean water to make 750ml again.
Add Lye until pH13 is reached, mix and leave for 12 hours, stirring periodically.
Warm solution to 100-110f, add 50ml Naphtha, mix and settle 5 times.
Extract Naphtha and fan evaporate to 50%. Freeze precipitate. Make 4 pulls.
So instead of a cooking the bark over and over collecting the liquid like a regular A/B, just do it once and leave all the bark in.. ?
