Hi I'm new to extracting and I have run into an issue. I don't know all the "tech" talk but I ran an Acetic Acid and NaOH extraction with 50g MHRB. I could have trimmed down the aqueous to have a higher concentration of salts in my solution but grand scheme I was able to pull into naphtha. The problem I ran into was once my extract was in the naph. I tried freezing on my freezers lowest setting but I didn't have crystal formation. This could have been because I was checking on it too often I checked on it and moved and opened the container about 10 hours after it was in the freezer. I ended up loosing that extraction to condensation freezing on my glassware and water eventually getting into the naph. The next thing I tried was evaporating and freezing then repeating. This gave decent results. I would blow on the naph and a white precipitate would form and not dissolve back into the naph or melt. I lost this one to condensation freezing on my glass and water getting into the naph again. I did a 3rd pull on my aqueous and am just evaporating it. I don't expect much of anything from it im just trying to get anything to work. So far there are very small slightly brown "oily" spots that have formed. I plan on doing another extraction soon with 100g MHRB. If anyone has advice on how to get the extract out please do help. I live in a place with high humidity so if that's of any consideration
