For a ketone to turn into an enol requires a tautomerization. This is an unfavourable equilibrium. You're better off deprotonating the ketone to
give the enolate, and that requires a strong base such as ethoxide.
Please remember: "Filtrate" is not a verb.
Write up your lab reports the way your instructor wants them, not the way your ex-instructor wants them.
