Here is my first REAL (not crude) extraction. It is of piperine, and I got a fairly clean yield.
I attempted to recrystallize them, but it failed miserably. I dissolved the crystals back into the 91% IPA I used in the initial extraction and let it dissolve away. I just ended up with some little crystals in some nasty white goo.
So the initial extraction rocked, but any tips on recrystallizing?

Distorted is our perception of reality, because reality is much more distorted than we could ever perceive it to be.
