BHO Distillate Process vs. CO2 Process

[cyclopath]

@ChiefK19

Is the solution dissolving in ETOH and winterizing?

yes.

if you are making distillate from BHO, and it’s good enough that you don’t need to winterize, you’ve left too much behind in the biomass.

@EverettMarm

If you’re going for 100% extraction efficiency then you’re going to have to sacrifice some quality.

I’d start with increasing temp to -20 on the solvent for your final pass. Warmer solvent will pick up more noids. Obviously you’ll get a little lower quality but you can save that first pass for the top shelf.

if your goal is to make distillate, then using ethanol as your primary extraction solvent makes more sense than using CO2 (imo), and in most cases it also makes better sense than using butane/propane.

if what you’ve got is a source of crude, then winterize. if you’re also making the crude, sitting down and looking at the cost/logistics of making that crude with ethanol is likely worthwhile.
