"Any goodness you put in the still pot ( which is the vessel that is boiled) will stay there. Although the lower terpenes will probably steam-distill and give the spirit an interetsing odor and flavor."
Exactly what appears to have happened. I say "Appears" because I haven't had lab tests but...
Looking in the distiller after it's done the trichomes are still on the material. Now, since it's distilled, I should dry the material and see what it tastes like!
My understanding is the alcohol doesn't decarb cannabis no matter how high the proof or how long it soaks (Because it doesn't heat up the carbons) but I've been told it does, hence my question. I've never ran a test to a lab but I think I am going to.
I've drank cannabis infused alcohol where the plant matter sat in 190proof for two years. I've also drank it where it sat for a few months. Never could drink enough to learn which is best and still not sure how the decarboxilation works. Now I'm fermenting then distilling alcohol. When I put...
I was never keen on the 2500 but my investor and grower were. They're both gone so I reduced the number. Last year we started March 10. It was a bit early and the plants weren't really happy. We even considered pulling them because they were cold and didn't want to grow then BAM! In the end they...
I don't believe we met our target but close. It's near impossible to measure exactly what the weight will be at the final state although we're working on it. We will be trimming for another couple months, and with a machine. I will post our weight when we get it.
Considering moving the farm to the Tri-cities area. Longer growing season but more wind. I can mitigate the wind God controls the sun. Looking for property and advice. Thanks in advance.
Sorry I've been gone so long been really busy but I do have an update before I leave again for bit. I have more pics but not on this computer and I'll get them on here soon enough. We are still trimming so I don't know what the final weight is so I'll post that too as soon as I am able. Probably...
