Hi
I did a 5 step (300ml-Water / 4 Lemons) 2hour Wash/Simmer on 25g P.Viridis
10Step (200ml-Water / 30ml-Vinager) wash using Balsamic Vinegar (6% Acidic) 30g P.Viridis
both were done until the water drained back "clear" (no red) or the leaf matter was like "porridge"
freezing plant after each step.
Vinager WashAfter each wash (Step) the liquid was left to sit for 24hrs, Once the Sludge had settled I poured off the liquid and stored the 2 in separate Jars.
Five washes later I had 2 (500ml) Jars of Reddish liquid and 1 Jar (100-150ml) of Dark Red Sludge.
Then Added the Sludge back into the "Plant matter" and did one Simmer/Boil, adding more water until the liquid is a nice clean Chocolate Red.
OK then I poured that into one of the "Liquid Jars" and reduced that down too 500ml (roughly) did the same to the other Jar (500ml) and combined the 2 (now 1ltr) then reduced the combined amount to 750ml looks chocolate red but sludge still settles, but am pretty sure that has Spice in it, so I will not wash that anymore.
Lemon WashBasicaly the same as above, but I reduced the whole ammount to 100ml instead of 750ml... looks a lot stronger, nothing settles to the bottom so either the Lemon does a better job or the extra 5 Vin washes broke it down too much.. either way there must be some content, because compared to most I went OTT on the washes.
THE PLANCombine all..
add 50ml Caustic Soda (stir for 1day)
(check P.H is at 9?)
100ml Ronsonol (Roll for 1day)
Seperate... same again 2x
Freeze 2days
