2nd pull & jar broke

Help!!! Ok this isn't my 1st extraction but it it the 1st one where I have come across issues so when we went to do the 2nd pull the glass jar broke while we were warming it up via double boil. So my question is this is it all ruined? Or can it be reduced back down & not be a total waste? The water being used for the double boil was tap water not distilled water. Any info would be greatly appreciated thanks
 
nothing is lost as long as it's not down the drain :)

The next steps depend on how much tab water was mixed into your caustic plant soup.

Maybe you can just go ahead and extract from the diluted soup. If it is too much diluted you might need to boil it down.

Some people are afraid of heating the freebase containing soup too much, but that is probably based on the misinformation about the boiling point of freebase DMT. (The boiling temp under vacuum is often mistaken for the boiling temp under normal pressure)

The minerals you have in your tab water will most likely be no big problem.
 
So after I reduce it back down again would I need to add more lye again before I do the naphtha & shake steps or not? Would I just skip to the naphtha & shake steps after reduction?
