Pulling with Non-Polar Solvent:
Each time this step is done it is called "a pull" and the step is used a non-polar solvent to dissolve the Jimjam DMT from the basified bark, this separation is essential if a pure product is to be extracted
IMPORTANT NOTE: Solvent loss is very typical in limeteks, it is basically a necessary evil you need to accept. Losing 50-100ml of solvent during a pull with a large batch of MHRB is quite common for me. Just make sure you have much more solvent than you need and you won’t have a problem.
When to do your pulls:
I recommend to do the first pull after the lime has had 6-8 hours to work on the bark, this is the most efficient time to get a quick good yield. A pull done at this time usually gets you around 30-50% of the total DMT in the MHRB.
If you do a pull right after adding the lime, it will work, but will be more like 10-25% of the total DMT
After your first pull, I recommend one at ~24 hours and one at ~48 hours. These 3 pulls together should yield you 80-90% of the total DMT
Pulls after that tend to be rather inefficient. If you want to extract all the DMT, I recommend 2 additional pulls: at 1 week and at 2 or 3 weeks. All 5 pulls combined should yield you over 95% of the total DMT.
