You guys are too funny! Winterization is something you got from reading an end process from a supercritical fluid journal as it lists the steps from start to finish. The thing you guys don't realize is that ethanol is is a co-solvent used and that waxy filtrate is a coagulate mixture of fatty acids of methyl esters along w ethanol which is a polar solvent. So why would you guys try to immitate a totally different process to fit your own? Ethanol can be used to purge out butane before or after extraction as it evaporates off, while leaving it nice and fresher tasting, but I would leave all the losses to filtration for the birds.

Actually winterizing came from the essential oil and perfume industry. Jump and Gunnaknow brought it to the forefront in the cannabis community that I associate with.

I prefer mine winterized too, as raw oleoresins make me cough to expectorate the waxes.

I can verify this statement.
Jump is the first that I know of to introduce
Absolute Amber
Gunna- know
(Gunnano)
Is the second to experiment with cold filtration and of course our beloved Gray Wolf was number 3.
I've based almost all my bho knowledge through those 3 individuals, and one more..I Must include is..
Hash-Master-Kut..
I think Rick Simpson is a huge douche-bag...Budder-King...my ass.

jump is one of the ones I believe that posted that quote I posted a while ago about wax being bad, and about shatter being the preferred texture of BHO... a lot of people thought I was an idiot. little did they know it was JUMPs quote.... SMH
I would also recommend doing some reading at icmag... tons of geniuses over there that will set ya straight in the BHO world... I dont know why I dont spend more time over there....

We winterize at about a 10:1 ratio of oil to ethanol. We do it by eyeball, and produce a mixture that has the consistency of alcohol, rather than thick oil.

this means 10 parts ethanol, to 1 parts oil.... ( think he meant to say ethanol to oil)
unless he said it correctly, and my grammar is horrible...
1 oz of oil, 10 oz of ethy
7 grams of oil, 2.5 oz of ethy

lol its obviously 10 part ethanol to 1 part oil.
10 parts oil to 1 part ethanol... you seriously need FD to clarify that?!?!?!?!?!?
and guzias, I dont believe he meant 10:1 via weight. I think its via volume.
1 gram of oil is something like 5 ml I think.
so 50-75 milliliters of everclear per gram of oil roughly.

10 parts ethanol to 1 part oil by volume. It doesn't need to be exact, and we just eyeball it, but there needs to be enough that the mixture looks and acts like alcohol, rather than oil with alcohol in it.
