Long story short this process was started @ least 2 weeks ago maybe a little more, I used the joshisoms tek w/acasia confusa powdered bark. Why am I getting this? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like an emulsion.
So should I add more lye to it? I know on the 1st pull there was a little bit of the emulsion, I just made sure not to suck any of it up & we ended up w/just over 22G (since it's so much work we had decided to triple everything) so I guess tomorrow I will see what I end up with. Also we used a drill w/a stirrer on it for mixing instead of shaking it cuz it seemed to work last time doing it that way.
 
Try a hot water bath.. if that fails, make a solution of water, salt and sodium hydroxide. Add slowly and give heat bath again. If that fails then run through a filter.. filtering is wierdly an underrated way of clearing emulsions that I find very effective with A/B.. can still be done with STB but more time costly.
