Hey everyone! First post here.
I've been researching on various sites on how to extract from MHRB and decided to go for it, I watched a video (think it was GordoTEK) and copied his version. I have a questions I'd like to ask as I can't seem to find an answer to it.
Little bit of background as to what I did.
I used 50g MHRB finely shredded.
50 grams 5% acidity white vinegar
40grams pickling lime.
Prepared everything on Monday morning and let it sit till Wednesday morning.
I used a round crock pot and heated up 50grans Vm&p Naptha (10 minutes)
I did an evap test and couldn't see any residue so I went ahead and poured it in and mixed it for 10 minutes.
I poured the naptha through a funnel with a coffee filter to a jar and poured it onto a clean Pyrex dish.
I placed it onto it's side in the freezer and left it.
It turned cloudy within the hour and kept it there for 5 hours.
The naptha went all clear and I could see the spice.
I took it out and placed it on it's side so all the naptha would be away from the spice and eventually evaporate away.
When the naptha evaporated away I noticed a ring from where it was. It wasn't sticky or oily to touch and now I'm doubting to just throw it away and find something else.
Is this the best thing to do? Any advice will be greatly appreciated as this was my first ever pull.
Edit: it doesn't smell like naptha. It smells strange like what people describe, inside of a new shoes.
