I was just doing my first extraction soon and wanted to see if anyone could answer some questions for me... Here's what I was going to do.

I will be doing my extraction in this order
-Mix 100g MHRB with excess sodium carbonate, add water, make a paste
-Spread on glass pan, let dry
-Add 185 ML 95% Ethanol, let sit for 1 hour, occasionally shaking/stirring
-Filter out onto dish through what? ******* Coffee filters work good? *****
-Do two more pulls. Combine liquid and let evaporate slow
-Mix reddish/brown sludge into warm vinegar. ***** How much vinegar should be used? ****** How long do I let it sit in the vinegar, or do I filter it as soon as it dissolves into the vinegar?*******
-After mixing, filter it. Mix with excess sodium carbonate, spread on a plate, let it dry.
-When dry, using ***** Ice cold acetone I'll dissolve the paste into it and filter then evaporate again, but **** Do I use ice cold acetone? How long do I let it sit in acetone, or do I once more, filter immediately when it dissolves in the acetone? ***


I have questions where all the asterisks are located and also, could I use calcium carbonate(lime) instead of sodium carbonate(soda ash) and keep my process the exact same?
