High ph distillation

Ok so we all know that a low <7 ph Gives isomerization in. The Distillate iT s acitic
But what is the consequense of high ph in the boiling flask ? >7 ph
@Future ?
I want to use Some magsil in the. Boiling flask but ph is high 8.3 ph
Should i lower to 6.8ph before starting or
Go ahead ?

@Roguelab Did you ever do any testing with this? If so, what was your result? I’m just starting some playing with pH right now on the extraction and distillation side of things.

Magsil will lose its stable pH when you use it like this from I’ve seen. It is activated silica where the chemical compounds and end chains are in place. You will probably disrupt it, you could benefit more from taking filtration silica and altering it’s oh with lime or similar then adding it

Makes it turn purple when it oxidizes, but I’ve only tried it once and that could have been from something else

Haven t played much with it
All I figured out for now
That high ph also isomerizes into unknowns and magsil makes water clear and that cbn is not affected but all the other cannabinoids are
