Hey guys
So i have combined all my acid cooks and am boiling down
Following the lex tek but my question is this,

Im only using 500g opposed to lex's 2kg and at that its
Branches leaves and twigs opposed to just bark so i dont expect
as higher yield but i just wonder if i should reduce
down to the amount the tek suggests few litres?
My theory is it might need to be further reduced to say half a litre considering
Im not using 2kg what are your thoughts?

P.S. using a pressure cooker on open valve (not using the 2 different psi settings)
Greatly speeds up the reducing of the acid cook for anyone interested

Pressure cookers are good for alot of things Pleased
As a rule of thumb for anyone searching the topic in need of help,
Reduce to 500ml for every 500g of material used
