Hey bud just wanted to chime back in after I did a little further reading and saw a couple post by no man himself I think the issues you encountered stem primarily from the fact that you did deviate from the technique because the suggestion to add more water than the initial technique describes was not made by no man and another post I saw by him on someone's extraction thread they were using specifically powdered root bark and no man said the same amount of water was to be used along with 1 hour wait no problem

I became intrigued and will be trying a run thru of the tek myself I'll report back soon hopefully
