This is my first extraction and my first pull from 200 g. Do I need to do a water wash?
The tek I followed: https://youtu.be/fFdi3V69GI0?si=to6AA2MtnnX32BC9
did not include a water wash, but I see that most of you do it here. Is it necessary?
I used lye for the bark and medicinal benzinum for the extraction. Is there any chance that some lye could get into the crystals during the extraction, or should I not worry about that? The end product has a slight smell similar to the base solution.
If I need to do this wash, should I dissolve it in fresh benzine and then mix it with water?
