The sever the Nook is on has been hacked. Many are meeting up at the Donkey until it's back up.

Have no fear nookers, we'll be back.

There are even easier ways of going about this. Recently dg420 posted a new tek that blows all of the others out of the water in terms of ease. Unfortunately all I have is his first release. I think I may remember the second one though.

So this is exactly what I plan to do:

Grind 140g MHRB to fine powder.

Place in 1 gallon glass jar.

Add 1/2 gallon boiling distilled water.

Add 5 tablespoons muriatic acid (30% HCL).

Shake well.

Place in double boiler (crock pot?) outside.

Shake every 3 minutes for 1/2 hour.

Make basic solution:
5 tablespoons lye + 2.5 cups water

Add 3/4 cup base.

Add 4 cups hot naptha.

Shake.

Add another 3/4 cup base to make all MHRB black.

Shake.

Cool for one hour (or more) in cold water bath to separate polar & non-polar layers.

Siphon off naptha, place in glass bowl in hot water bath in front of fan.

Reduce volume by half, allow to cool.

Place in large (9" x 13") glass baking dish.

Cover dish, place in freezer 1/2 hour.

Remove from freezer, uncover, and place outside to fully evaporate for several hours (days?).

When fully dry, scrape up crystals/powder and prepare to meet elfin creatures.

The later changes I believe were:

1500g starting material
3 gallon vessel
grind material and fill vessel with enough hot water to cover material
mix 1.5 cups HCl to 3 cups of water and add to vessel
roll vessel and leave to sit for an hour
mix 1-2 cup of lye to 5 cups of water and add to vessel until everything turns black
take ice cold naptha and add to vessel, complete seperation should be complete within minutes. As soon as possible extract the naptha and repeat with ice cold naptha at least two more times. It was found that if the cold naptha is added while the vessel is still hot that emulsions are not much of an issue.
collect extracted naptha and slow dry for best crystal formations.

I really hope I can get another nooker to verify all this. The only thing I'm not certain of is his exact amounts of acid and base. However it was pointed out that these are quite variable. One with higher quality starting material will want to use more acid then one with lesser quality and when one adds base this is done until everything turns completely black.

Very easy and very effective.

I appreciate the welcome and it's certainly good to see you here.

Really though if anyone has any information please let me know. Generally when they're down they're not down for this long and I'm getting worried in more ways then one.

I'm lost and I can't find my way home... :?
