Recently a freeze pricip was tried there was lots and lots of floater that formed and a sheet of white on the bottom of the mason jar but it all keeps dissolving after taken out the technique where the naphtha is drained and the is up upside down didnt work either
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated tons of research has been done on the matter and nothing seem to be working

Is it possible there is water in your solvent? Are you using naptha?

I geuss what I'm really asking is is that what it's supposed to be looking like just a sheet of white on the bottom of the jar with tons of floaters

Oh sorry inmotion and yes naphtha is being used. But as for there being water I've tried to FP multiple times so maybe some condensation could have gotten in the jar after all the time going I and out of the freezer I have no idea.

Check the liquid to make sure there is not two layers. Let the naptha freeze for at least 24 hours. It usually doesn't form a sheet that sounds more like ice. It usually results in a bunch of little semi spheres of pokey white crystals everywere or a snow globe effect. It may help to evaporate some of the naptha down to concentrate it more. Make sure you remove the naptha right once it leaves the freezer otherwise it will get warm and redissolve the spice. Hopefully this helps

Well I evaporated it ALOT so that couldn't be the problem but one more thing how am I supposed to get the floaters out?

Careful pouring or a coffee filter should suffice Smile

I'm having th same problem with freeze precip. It seems that it takes a couple days to really start seeing a snowglobe for me. Idk what I'm doing wrong. My last 2 extracts have all been the same. Very low yield from 50g of MHRB

ive also had a few pulls that the crystals seemed to melt almost immediately, and i have come to the conclusion that my naptha was contaminated by water condensation in the freezer. now im just very careful when i do my pulls to use super clean and dry containers, and i dont use the red covers that come with pyrex dishes anymore, instead i double layer the pyrex with saran wrap, let sit out and cool to room temperature for a few hours, then put into the freezer for at least 18 hours. ideally all the crystals will stick to the pyrex, but if not, ill start pouring the naptha slowly off of one corner of the pan, the loose crystals should collect in that corner, so ill slowly tip the pan so the naptha pours to another corner and the crystals stay put. if this takes too long pop it back in the freezer for a few minutes then try again. if i use a coffee filter i feel i lose alot of spice.
