SWIM is going to be getting the last thing (Naphtha) he needs soon and is planning on following the general guidelines of NOMANS TEK for his first extraction. (With the exception of the ammonia wash)
Using 50g MHRB : 50g Lye : 750ml water and 60~80ml naphtha.
SWIM has read many different variations of the Straight to Base methods and needs a little clarification before starting.
1.) SWIM doesn't know if he should evaporate it half way (more or less?), then freeze.
2.) How long until I know it has been in the freezer long enough? I know I will see crystals, but is there a point that is TOO much time?
3.) Could I put the collection jars in an ice filled cooler rather than my freezer?
Would that crack the jars?
4.) Since I will be using Lye, what is the best type of Mixing Jar? (Mason jar, 2 Liter Coke bottle, Milk Jug, ANY of them?)
5.) What would be the best type of mixing spoon? Metal, wooden, etc.?)
I am sorry if this comes off as unorganized/underdeveloped. It is 1 am, New Years..
I just want my hard work to pay off.
Thank you very much
