Basically.

Update: the liquid has changed from a dark pink/red to almost completely opaque red/black. Still got I dunno ten hours or whatever until it's the arbitrary 24 hour time to filter. Most of the material is obviously still in the plant matter.

I think a soxhlet with the correct non-water solvent would be ideal for this, take a long time, but give incredible yields. With this amount of material I'd need to make something insane like a five gallon version and really pack it in tight. Not in a position to do that this year.

I am concerned that I'll get the same end result as last time though. Hopefully it was the acidic conditions that hosed it up and now it will work.

I have the old computer with it on. We'll see if it boots. I'm gonna read up on the old thread and probably backtrack to just before we started to form a clan.

I had a video of a test. I put 2 drops of it on a tissue & smashed it with a hammer. It went off like a gunshot, but now I've got a bunch of it that I don't really know what to do with.

Frozen to reduce volatility. I'd estimate there's 250mL of it.

It's kind of oily, so the water separates out a bit when it freezes. I originally washed the product with water, baking soda, and salt in several cold baths to remove some of the excess water & acid

I still have a bunch of acid leftover & will have to see about proper disposal procedures before I move. My idea was short-sighted, but I plan to start a joint project on a small rocket in the future using a double-base fuel composed primarily of nitroglycerin. That's my presentation for show-and-tell, thanks
