Quote:doing a STB extration with the 1:1:15:1 rattios root/lye/h20/ naptha does this sound like a good rattio what has worked for you guys
I didn't use an exact ratio my last extract. I think it was 100grams of MHRB, 100 grams of lye, 1500ml of distilled water, and 75ml of napatha. Yours sounds fine though
Quote:should i do a 100g test batch or 50g i have a bit of root left just incase i messe this up Very happy aslo how long should i let the root in the water/lye mix i did 1hour last time and it seems ok but do you think is way 2 much or not enough time ?
Well the first question is up to you. 50g is a very small amount tho, 100g would be more worthwhile imo.
You can't really leave the root in lye for too long. As long as the container can handle the lye there's no issue. I would recommend leaving it for 24 hours shaking it occasionally. btw, you might want to open the bottle after shaking for a couple seconds to make sure there's no pressure left in it.
