Ok, thanks. I notice there is no defatting in TL's guide. Is this step ineffective in a Confusia extraction?
Some more questions:
Is the White Vin referenced in extractions typically 5% acid? I read on wiki that it can vary from 5-8%. I want to be sure that I'm substituting with the correct amount of HCL. The 13ml I rounded off based on an assumed 5% concentration of W-Vin/acid. I don't have a ph meter/paper, so I need to get the measurement correct off the bat, lol.
Also, regarding TL's guide here:
"01. I used 500 grams that I froze and thawed twice then boiled in 2000ml of H20 with 100ml of white vinegar I let this boil for 1 and 1/2 hours then transfered the liquid to another pot and started reducing it. Do this at least 4 times adding fresh vinegar each time. I did it 5 and found that the 5th boil was lighter in color. Anyway as your cooking fresh washes start reducing prior boils in a second pot."
It's mentioned that they're doing multiple washes. Does this mean that the 500g used underwent multiple soaks (indicated by "ass fresh vinegar each time"

, each with 2L of liquid - all of which was reduced into a combined 1.5L?
Is letting the plant soak in acidified water for 24 hours an adequate substitute for boiling and reducing, and can it be reduced to less that 1.5L?
