k so, i like to think of myself as quite the meticulous one when following formula. so carefully read thru every tek avaliable. Gathered equipment and even re-trod some to fit the need perfectly. got some mhrb and began. 1# 1oz to be specific I have followed everything to a T. Checking ph, rigging a warming setup to keep everything right between 90 to 100 deg. 3 extracts over 3 weeks. Pefect color. Defatted. nap. Again looked descriptivly perfect in clear to coagulated matter in non-polar. So now i am in to the salt unhooking and getting a little nervous. approximatly 48 hours into the set and heres what i observe diluted NaoH in warm water brought to ~12, even straind twice thru cotton to make sure everything was clear. slowly added to aquecious and brought to ~10. Added naptha ( heres one worry, some methods say after and some say before basefying, i chose after??) Colors matched all avaliable descrips. 24 hours later i have two layers, dark aqucious and a chokolate brownie smoothey looking top layer. Warmed mixture to 90+ and 24 hours later still have chokolate smoothy top layer ( two layers total ) I havent found anything in any tek listings that talk about chokolate smoothy top layers. Please help with any insight
