Upon trying to pour solvent out after freeze precipitation of dmt, there appears to be small amounts of ice forming amongst the solution, which suggests the solution is water contaminated. What would you do from here to remove the water? The containers were put back in the freezer covered with a tiny amount of solvent in them, and the ice chunks weren't touched.

Water in dmt extraction

Once you remove the excess solvent, dry your crystals/goo/wax/whatever with your container upright so no DMT runs off with the water while it melts ( from my understanding, freebase DMT shouldn't be soluble in water but better safe than sorry). Once dry, scrape and recrystallize by dissolving crystals in hot naphtha/heptane (water bath please!) and throw it back in the freezer for 24 hours.
But first, where did the water come from? Your freezer? From the basic soup? Wherever it came from a re-x is probably your safest bet. Make sure your freeze precipitation container is completely airtight. Otherwise you risk Ice crystals among your precious DMT crystals!
Hope this helps!

When I evap my naphtha the condensation always caused water because of the quick evaporation. I just pour the water in to another container to let that dry, place the container with the dmt in it under the fan for an hour or two and it is waterless.
You can also add a bit of acetone to water to hasten the drying time.

Hi subaeroux!
I get water in my freeze precipitated pulls pretty always!
Just fan it until it completely dry and if you doubt about any lye or basic soup in the final product you can just re-x
I suppose that the moist of air already can condensate inside the plastic wrap, but i don't know how to avoid this!

Sounds like condensation. I find it helps to let the jar sit out in room temp air after I freeze precip until the glass is room temp so no moisture accumulates in the glass. But be careful that its not basic soup. In which case recrystalization would be your best bet.
