Hey all, a friend of mine tried his first extraction using Mrs. Wages Pickling Lime (Sodium Hydroxide only ingredient) (50g to 50g) and they said the jar looks gray***. Upon research, they found the term "mud pie" referring to that tek.. is that why it's called mud pie?

They always used lye before and wanted to try and make it a little more naturally. They also noted that the jar didn't get as hot as it does for lye.

Any suggestions? Is this normal?

Edit: It's grayish color
