Will LCB approve?
Fat chance
Maybe if you start here
but you might as well get jacketed pressure vessels at that point…
Ya idk how much pressure I’d feel safe applying to a 55gal stainless drum…
that’s what the PRV is for
it’s also one reason going with the jacketed pressure vessel was suggested as the more prudent route…
that thing looks janky lol!
agreed.
frame appears bolted together.
barely.
The pricing is crazy too. I could just see people cracking them buckets full with material and ethanol.
$20k-50k for that. Some people are so pot crazy is nuts. How high do you have to be to think $20k for that is a good idea.
I think it’s the ethanol fumes or the terpenes
I just bought 3x 40qt SS stick pots vs my usual 5g bucket for fear of cracking the bucket. Please tell me I didnt just toss 160.00 in the garbage.
ok. your stainless was a good investment.
you can’t cook potatoes in a plastic bucket.
Debatable
No need for debate. I concede that the plastic bucket and sous vide will get the spuds done.
What degree of mixing do you all do when your solvent is under -67°C? I’m going to be going with 2 washes each for 5 minutes. On the flip side, is there such thing as too much stirring? Merry Christmas everyone!
I use a large wood paint mix stick. I also soaked about 30-40 mins and got nothing but awesome liquid gold.
This was a dry ice soaked run. Super cold start to filter.
Wow! I’m just worried since I’m doing large runs of about 30lbs at a time, do you think this changes anything or do you think those soak times work regardless of quantity as long as it stays around dry ice temp?
My 1st timei did a 10 min soak at dry ice temps. Imo, I left quite a bit of thc behind from the quick soak. This time i changed it up and did a longer soak, still at dry ice temps. Imo, I got pretty much all the thc, but still left all the nasties.
Heres a pic of my 40min Ish soak. In those 2x 40qt SS pots are about 15lbs (total) material.
This was ONLY filtered using a fritted disc buchner and celite 545. That’s it
I could have used about 1 gallon less of etoh for this wash. Reason is a lighter than golden color.
Shes being rotovaped now as I sit and babysit it
Looks great!!
I repeat: your stainless pots were a good investment.
First time you kick a plastic bucket at that temp it’s done.
Try a 4” stainless drill mounted paint mixer as an upgrade to the stick. Links have been posted a couple of times.
I’ve been using a large paint paddle and drill for yrs when I made bubble hash.
I have 6x HD buckets with cracks in the bottom from dry ice extracts!
