This stuff is amazing
very good stuff! keep up the great work!
Hi. Before I saw your video, I bought Hickory wood vinegar. I'll definitely order your brand. But just for my information.. is Hickory wood vinegar toxic to plants?
What you have is similar but Bamboo Wood Vinegar is superior and they are not toxic to plants if used correctly.
You can use wood vinegar to activate charcoal can't you? (Probably at least concentrated acetic acid?) And wouldn't cooling the 'distillate' accelerate the seperating of the tars and vinegar? You could even freeze to seperate any methanol and acetone... As water and acetic acid would freeze and the volatiles would not and you could just pour them off... 🤔 Don't know if it would take out the phenols or not, but yeah... :)
Yes you can use it on raw biochar to make it habitable, it will make it hydrophylic, reduce the Ph, and condition it to make it ready to use. The Organic Bamboo Vinegar we sell is already been settled and filtered so it is ready to use in a concentrated for all you need to do is dilute it according to the instructions that come with it. It is available on our website www.blueskybiochar.com
@@bluesky-biochar awesome! Thank you for the reply. :)
Are they distilled or raw vinegar
Bamboo Wood Vinegar is not like other vinegars which are fermented it's made through Pyrolosis basically it's liquid smoke.
It would have been nice to know how it's made so folks could DIY!
Making Wood Vinegar is only possible in a system that can condense the smoke and gasses from the process and then that liquid is settled for many months to settle out the tars, terps and light oils. Then you separate the wood vinegar and at that point you need to filter the wood vinegar a few times through biochar to purify it for use. So it's not rocket science but it ain't baking a cake either. It's a long term process some what like making wine...
I have watched a couple of youtube vids and it does not seem too difficult a process. They use either a J-rocket-kiln or similar version, and angle off the chimney to allow the gases to condense and drip down to a bucket.
Now, some remove the horizontal chimney when the condensate turns black and others collect it all. Then they store it for 3-6 months to allow it to separate into it's 3 components. Oil, vinegar, and tar at the bottom.
Me on the other hand would have the condensate flow through the char into a container. I think the other form of the word is distillate? liquid or gas flowing through a carbon filter? When the distillate is no longer clear then it is time to change the filter I suppose. Or better yet have it go through another colander of char.
@@bluesky-biochar The only reason I could see in letting it separate is to get the oil (hello Tea Tree Oil), vinegar and tar. Otherwise, they would filter them out.
If I may throw out this idea. Not only extracting the oil from the canola seed, wouldn't the "charring" of the woody stems extract even more? All of the residues are just left on the ground to blow away. Granted we don't get "natural" canola anymore as it was one of the first crops to be genetically modified. I have heard horror stories and conclusions that these things do not compost well or breakdown like a natural product does. But wouldn't that be a grand idea though? Burn it to char (pure carbon no impurities), condense the gases and extract the bi products? If we achieve a pure char, wouldn't the bi-products that are condensed as examples the acetic acid and the oils? Just something to think on.
Can I join your company with my product as I am also producing Bamboo Vinegar from my own bamboo plantation in Myanmar (BURMA)
