What's up guys, just ran my first QWET ethanol extraction. Brought everything to sub zero before the process. Filtered twice with unbleached coffee filters. Once after extract then again after a few hrs of winterizing in sub zero temps. I have no idea why it would look this way Thanks for the help guys.

need to shine a light through the bottom to give us a better idea, but likely just a bunch of chlorophyll and water solubles, you could try winterizing it or using another solvent, maybe butane to clean it up in a second extraction.

Did you winterize? I need to take a nap then rig a vacuum contraption up with the vacuum cleaner to defat my wash one more time under vacuum this time.

Not a good picture, but from here it looks beige, which is water, some remaining alcohol, and terpenes. Not to forget that the everclear is 5% water to start.
