Okay so what id like to do is do a few 30minute boils with only water & syrian rue seeds & then reduce & evaporate to yeild a crude resin. Ive done this once before & it worked well.
From there id like to further purify the resin to either powder or crystals using the cheapest & easiest method possible.
I was thinking maybe doing a manske to cleanup the resin but am not sure if it would work.
Product doesnt need to be extremely clean. Just enough that its no longer a resin or oil.
 

Good quality Syrian rue (Peganum harmala) for an incredible price!

this was my first extraction as well.

no sense evapping to a resin, just reduce the liquid and purify further from there (you would have to re-dissolve the resin in water anyway).

from there you can either precip it out with base (a la gibran2) or, as you said, manske.

i tried gibran's method with washing soda, and it came out really messy (sediment wouldn't decant. at the time i evap'd it and redissolved the base in water - which got REALLY messy. i was told a coffee filter is the proper solution - but only after the fact lol).

so i would recommend using either lye or CaOH, as both are reported to work better (which would make sense as they have a higher ph).


i have no direct experience with manske, but i hear it works wonders.
