It's a really really fine screen usually gold in color with a plastic framing in the shape of a coffee filter. Designed to take the place of paper coffee filters. They work good too Tasty coffee! It lets a little more sediment pass through it than paper does too which is great for crystals.

As far as dosing, I guess it could be shaken and poured cold but dosages may vary just slightly from shot to shot. To insure even dosing ...hehe and Sol will hate this...one could heat up the mixture causing the crystals to liquify. Shake and pour as before. This may be required with this batch as many of the crystals seem to be stuck to the inside of the glass..something I've never really seen with a hot extraction. At least not this bad.
Heating the pure grain alcohol even after being evaporated is highly dangerous. Even an oven exhaust fan could ignite fumes so I must urge utmost caution. I only use a rice steamer which has no flame or exposed red elements. And even then the work is done either outside or right by the wide open door.

Hell yeah Sharkie! Bottoms up!
