a straight to base extraction of powered mhrb using 1 gram bark to 22.5 ml water to 1.5 grams naoh to 1.5 ml naptha there are two batches one turned out fine the other looks contaminated can anyone tell me what went wrong or if it can be saved. the contaminated jar was also kept in a stainless steal pot for a week or so. the second batch started about the same time turned out fine.

Cant tell from the pic, but from experience, milky naptha is a non-issue.
I am fairly new though, some back up from someone with more confidence in their knowledge couldnt hurt.

Milky Naphtha is exactly what you want. It's most likely that the reason it looks milky is because it is full of freebase DMT and it's just waiting to fall out. The colder it gets the milkier it will get until eventually the naphtha can no longer hold the alkaloids and they will fall out of the solution. Milky = Great news  "Father!

You may need to just evap like a third or half the naptha and then freeze-precip. It'll drop out easier that way.

Well, when I extracted with 50g MHRB my first pull was colorless and cloudy too (got white to off-white crystals out of it) but the next 2 pulls were yellow and yielded a little more than the first one and also with a little more color.
However don't give the color to much importance as trace amounts of impurities can already change the color of a substance quite a lot.

In the case above where it looks like the crystals are forming already maybe there’s no need to evap. Most of the time I don’t need to evap at all. If it’s milky, clouds when blown on or it’s already growing crystals it’s usually good to go.

my naptha is cloudy everytime but the yield from it is small... How much dmt does sit in 300ml naptha when cloudy ? "Imagination is more important than knowledge."
