Is this your advice because there may be excess citric in the goo product?

I feel a bit unable to stop evaporation when ~10ml are left in a manageable way. If I were to dry fully and then add the dried product to fresh EA would it work? Or would I need to dry and collect it, add 10ml of hot water, and then add fresh EA?

So far nothing in one of my collection jars, but the one that I added the EA from the main jar after titrating the goo seems to have crystal growth. This leads me to believe that either all the citric is in the goo, all the alks are in the goo, or both.
