Hi Loveall and Cheelin,

I am consistently getting white/needle in my filter.

However my evaporate is consistently a yellow or brown sticky crystal.

I add fresh EA to my mason jar and shake the hell out of it, 3x. The first wash pulls some color, and the second and third wash are clear. Still, when I evaporate it turns out as yellow/brown. I think that the crystals in the jar are sticking to the walls and trapping some yellow/brown that cannot be easily washed with the EA. I suspect that if I were to first scrape the mason jar (which is difficult) that another rinse of EA might get some more color out. Also perhaps after I evaporate I could do another rinse with EA. I haven't tried that yet.
