Hey, I've heard of people mixing some salt in with their water to increase yield. I haven't researched the chemistry that goes into a stb tek yet, so wouldn't understand the science behind it. Has it in your experience increased yield(which obviously you must believe it does), and if so how much salt would you recommend for 1250 ml of water? Also, where is a good place to learn the chemistry behind a stb tek? right here on the site?, im goin to look now. Haven't explored i the wiki section much so i suppose ill check that out now.
"The modern world was not alive to the tremendous Reality that encompassed it. We were surrounded by an immeasurable abyss of darkness and splendor. We built our empires on a pellet of dust revolving around a ball of fire in unfathomable space. Life, that Sphinx, with the head of a lion and the body of a brute, asked us new riddles every hour. Matter itself was dissolving under the scrutiny of Science; and yet in our daily lives we were becoming a group of somnambulists, whose very breathing, in train and bus car, was timed to the movement of wheels; and the more perfectly, and even alertly, we clicked through our automatic affairs on the surface of things, the more complete to our insensibility to the utterly inscrutable mystery that anything should be in existence at all."
-Alfred Noyes,The Unknown God, London, 1934,pp176-177
