Amazing. What a gift you were able to give her, and as we both know - cannabis gives relief to the caregivers as well as the patient!

These are all in line with my beliefs as well, this was why I got the rotovap and vacuum, to insure I can reduce and reclaim at a low temperature. That is a very generous offer and I will definitely take you up on that. I did not know who I was talking to until you posted your email...

I would love to put together an ethanol continuous loop system with a double jacked reactor like the one Genius Extraction sells. They want $235k for their system. The idea of a Hot extraction sounds perfect because the heating oil to strip it just makes sense. I saw the use of carbon to...

Thank you both for the information, both of you have given me great start. Thank you for the suggestions, I actually found the 5th edition of the Chemical Technicians Ready Reference Handbook used for $26 so I'm getting that one. I was able to read the sample (which was the whole book...

Awesome - thank you for that!

Oh yeah, I know all about opinions. When I first started growing I came here for advice on soil vs hydro - you can imagine how that went! Yes, I want to learn everything I can - everything you mentioned as well as short path fractional distillation - I just don't have the access to it. My...

I'm one of those people who are on their own developing meds for my dad with ALS, and my mom with Alzheimers. Been doing it for the last 5 years, happy to say they are both doing well and cannabis saved their lives. Anyway, my "lab" has evolved from mason jars in the freezer (QWET) to: - Cryo...

I don't winterize but when I read up on it they suggested that you use a breathable cover during the air evaporation process. Water can get introduced to the alcohol from the condensation on the glass jar being in the freezer. If you still have the filter with the oil on it you should be able...

Gotcha. You really don't need to air dry to reduce the ethanol, what you want to do is use a double boiler method to boil off the alcohol. After I have captured the oil in alcohol, I put the jar in a small fryer with oil and put a digital thermometer in the alcohol. I put enough oil in the...

The lid should be off when boiling off the ethanol, I use a wide mouth jar so that the condensation doesn't fall back into the jar.

I have seen this happen when water had been introduced into the mixture - by chance did this happen? When you said up above you had 1.5g of reclaim from a rig, just wondering, what rig are you referring to?

In addition to the other comments, your decarb temp and time seem too low. 240 degrees for 45 mins will get you closer. Also, there really is no need to let it sit in the freezer for 5 days, the oil is already extracted within the first 5 minutes of sitting in 150 proof. I only let it sit...

It's true. Once the decarb in the oven is done, your weed is ready so just a quick wash of alcohol and the tincture is ready. I've taken this a bit further and have been reducing to oil and add a small amount of coconut oil to make a sublingual mixture. 4 drops under the tongue and I'm good...

As for the video, that's how you do it....except. 160 degrees for 4 hours is not enough - in my experience - to fully decarb (activate the THC) the weed. This is why you need to decarb your weed in an oven (I use a sous vide cooker). Secondly, for 480ml (2 cups) of alcohol I would use more...

You have to use a minimum of 16oz of liquid to process in the MB machine. So in your case, you would have to process with 16oz (480ml), strain, then reduce the final mixture down to 150ml. There will be a reduction in the alcohol from the heat of the processing itself (set it to 160 degrees)...
