Bone weight to broth ratio: one pound of bones makes a quart of broth. Bone size: the smaller the bone size, the quicker the extraction. Marrow beef bones and neck bones are usually cut 2” thick.

Prebrown: if you prefer a darker broth color, preheat your cast iron dutch oven, brown the neckbones on both sides, douse with quart of water.

Acid extraction: a small amount of vinegar or lemon juice, 1tsp on two quarts, or another acid like a cup of red wine extracts more bone broth flavor faster without leaving an aftertaste. Add to water.
