I have whatman filter paper 20-25 microns. Unfortunately it hasn’t worked that great I’ve already re-filtered and I still see a tiny amount of sediment on the bottom so I’m going to have to filter again it looks like…

Also when heating it up, what temp should I not exceed?

well no matter what you will have to heat it up enough to
1: remove all the solvent, ie. EtOH BP is 78.37c
2: decarb the material at roughly 150c

that said, i wouldnt go beyond 160c

filter it a few times, a coffee filter should be sufficient,
how did you agitate and macerate the material when extracting??

I basically ground it up first and then once I added the ethanol to the material I stirred it between 2-5 minutes .

With what did you grind?
