Nah, fuck it. Not necessary.
Just seeing all this delicious cacti tea of yours made me crave for some...

yessir. I added the 2nd batch and also did a small 2nd extract with the leftover and boiled everything to about 1.5 gallons. Took the leftovers and threw in compost pile and mixed with potting soil. Compost also has leftover casings and stuff. Think imma make a few pots and plant some sleepy grass. Wonder if the cacti compost will have any benefits

Leave the tea to sit in the fridge overnight once you have it down to a manageable volume, all the sediment will fall to the bottom.

Nice, you using limonene? Did that first salting pull some color through? If so I recommend evaping that pull separately from the future saltings, as I had some problem with limonene contamination,

nah. im using hydroxide, xylene and muriatic acid. Plan to clean with acetone. Heres an update after 5 pulls? lost count. I wanna do a couple more pulls but im tired tonight. I would if i didnt have to work tomorrow. But i really wanna get as much out as possible. Did after all sacrifice 15 feet or so of pedro. And i have another half gallon of tea in the freezer to be used when ready. I know theres a tad bit of xylene in there, but i think the extras will get washed with the acetone. Obviously my intent is to get as clean as possible. No rush, taking my time on this one. I wanna get it right

it doesnt look as impressive today. I kept it under a small heat lamp overnight. It doesnt smell of xylene at all. Instead, it seems the cloudless has dissipated evenly throughout the aqueous hcl instead of all floating at the top like in the photo above. Im left with about 3 cms or so of water. Im debating wether it'll be a good idea or not to stick in the stove. Dont wanna ruin it. Like i said before, i wanna take my time. Sucks Halloween is tomorrow. At least i got some lucy thou
