Whats everyones favorite bark(powdered) to water ratio? The first tek i followed was 100grams bark to 600-700ml water. Was a little thick but still worked fine. But then you read that some people follow the 15ml of water for every 1 gram bark, and when i followed that it was much more watery obviously and i was getting emulsions pretty easily where i wasnt before... So is less water the way to go? Seek not abroad, turn back into thyself, for in the inner man dwells the truth.

So is less water the way to go? Are you saying that you use more water in you 100 gram batches? swim uses 50 grm lye & 50 grm mhrb batches with 700/750 mil h2o. I would think 750 mil h2o is to littel for 100 gram batches, Isnt it suppoed to be 1500 h20 for 100 grms mhrb? Thats what I have read. Emulsions suck period

The tek I use is 100g bark to 700ml, and that works fine for me, too. The thicker quality of the bark/sludge seems to make it easy to pour off the Naptha.

Emulsions suck period Ive used 100gram batches in mason jars across the board. The first couple batches were 100g bark/100g lye/675ml water. While the second was the same but with 1,500ml water...Following the 15ml of water for every gram of bark recommendation. I found that using that much water causes emulsions very easy, while less water doesnt. Just wondering why alot of teks recommend 15ml of water to every 1 gram of bark/lye.

I use 10 cl water (sometimes a little less) for every gram of powder and then one gram lye . Sometimes i get some monster emulsion but it goes away after letting it sit for a little bit and then tappin the bottom of the container till all the bubbles pop or dissolve.
emulsion has never been more than a 2 min "oh shit!" and then it settled and no more emulsion. When you guys have emulsion problems, doe sit not go away?

When i used the 15ml water to 1g mhrb/lye i was getting emulsions that didnt want to go away, had to put them in a hot water bath, even then there was still a small layer that didnt want to go away. Ill never use that much water again. Seek not abroad, turn back into thyself, for in the inner man dwells the truth.
