Understanding neutralization

Understanding neutralization

For me, neutralization has always been the most cumbersome part of the process. It seems to slow me down and needs a rest to make sure everything settles out. Not sure if its my process or my materials. I did order some different PH strips as they seemed to be a part of it. I ran 4 through the neutralization process with the new strips and thought I'd see if they all look good. I feel like I got a little better understanding of some of the nuances in the process however it was one jar which had a little bit of cinnamon and another jar which ended up having some floaty clouds. My experience these can be filtered out the following day. If that is incorrect and I need a follow-up step please let me know.

Thank you all for your continued support and my education and the development of this amazing community resource

Simple questions

  1. What is the best temperature for EA to be when you start extraction?

  2. what should your standard PH strip read when your neutralization step is complete?

  3. Does EA ever reach a point where you cant recycle it anymore?

  4. is there a high water content that can restrict crystallization without it being goo?

Does this ph on a pull mean there's no goods?

If so, can I just reuse the EA immediately or do I still need to neutralize if I didnt salt?
