Question about home-made Kratom extract

[GeisterxFahrer]

I recently ran an extraction on powdered kratom. I mixed 10g of Maeng Da, 5G of a 5x Maylay, and about 4G of red vein Thai. Anyway, I ran an Iso extraction, Most of the alcohol has evapped now (10 hours later). I am left with a gooey (obviously not totally dry yet) resinous black and brown material. I have not successfully done this before, so I do not know how to turn this "resin" into a powdered extract. Eyeballing it, it looks like I only managed to get around 1g, but I will post the exact amount tomorrow as I am going to let it dry over night. But yea, anyone know how to turn it back into a powder?

Oops, nevermind, answered my own question.

Evaporate all the alcohol.

Using slightly acidified alcohol with e.g. citric acid in it will probably increase alkaloidal yield.

crap, I forgot the lemon juice. I ran it three times through iso and shook vigorously for like 10 minutes with each wash, I finally got it to evap, and I ended up with .483g, so far. Then I got a razor (no coffee grinder) and chopped it into a powder. I am about to try some. I would post pics of my process but I only have two pictures, one of it filtering, the other of the finished product

since you answered your own question i hope you don't mind me putting on the kill switch.

pm me if you would like to discuss reopening.

It's not a problem. Do you know if there is an extraction Tek thread on BL already with pics? I was thinking about doing another one with more powder and taking pics of the whole process and leaving detailed instructions
