Hey I cant post in the correct section right now as im still a new member. (how long till that changes or what do i need to do?)

Im rounding the end of my caapi extraction and Im having some difficulties. I finished the acid wash and added the naoh. Problem is i mixed 60ml water with 5g naoh and insted of using about 20ml I added it all. The goodies are having a hard time settling, some are even floating. Bar waiting all night could i just perform the acid step on this again and start over ?

much appreciated

Stick it in the fridge for 6-8 hours. The harmalas should either sink or consolidate into a more-or-less singular floating mass.

You can also just pour it off through a coffee filter, let the filter/alkaloids dry and collect them.

As to posting privileges...I would suggest writing an intro essay if you have not done so already. Talking in the chat can help too. Ultimately, once people get to know you/get a sense of who you are, you will either be voted up as a result of your posts, or a moderator will promote.
