Hey, overall good tips. You can decant your water off every 2-3 hrs. it will make the process much faster. refrigeration is going to significantly slow the leaching process. you can leave the flour at room temp for several hours (if not a day or more with certain red oak species) without spoilage. with the proportions you're using and method I'm describing, you can leach white oak flour with about 7-9 changes of water over the course of just two days and red oak can take anywhere from 12-19 changes depending. thanks for the video

I want to tell you how to peel the husk from oak. First, take approximately a kilo or less of oak on a large pot, I mean a large wall, and leave it on the fire after filling it with water and leave it for about half an hour or less. After that, you peel the husk with your hand. Then you see the husk cleaned by the oak fruit. I mean there is a crust on its fruits. It separates and sticks to the 4 with the strong main peel, then you eat the oak free of the double peel, I mean, I mean it is ready to eat, please try this. You do not need to leave the fire because it usually explodes and burns. I mean you pour a quantity of water on large walls and fill the walls with a small amount of oak and leave it on the fire for about half an hour as needed and after that you see the oak fruit peeled and clean. You just have to cut the oak and eat the fruit. After this process you can cut it with juicer or something else or You make flour from it, and you use it as bread. In this way, the oak does not explode, is not burnt, or is not strong. It is soft to eat.
