Warm ethanol crude will make for nasty eddibles. I suggest -40C or lower (dry ice) & a tighter mesh on your bags. Sizing your bags correctly so they fit in your panda(s) is important. Filtering down to 1um in your panda by lining it with polyester felt means you can skip filtration post panda. Running at -40 means you can skip winterization. If you follow the lostbiologists tek you should have crude that won’t make your customers barf
Since you did both
Wich outcome is better
Warm hexane extract or warm heptane extract
I worked hexane a lot and the fats and waxes are a lot but other than that very little isseus
How is heptane ?
Same exact thing just boils off quicker.
My preference is Hexane but I wouldn’t recommend it to someone that’s not familiar with it. PPE is a must and proper purging is extremely important.
Interesting I’ve always been interested in replacing butane with Heptane or Hexane. I’ve made a lot of carts from cold extracted bho crude that were pretty awesome. I am gonna try it soon but am puzzled by how to reduce/eliminate the fats without winterizing in methanol…
After the extraction Is completed, I wonder if cryo chilling the solvent (Heptane/Hexane) will precipitate the fats in order to winterize in the solvent like it does in butane, and eliminate the need for the methanol step? Really wanna save the terpenes and skip the full distillation process…
I agree, but not when they’ve been subjected to that much heat and for that long. I would, personally, winterize the bho to use in the edibles. Then decarb and dose
We had gotten a sop from someone on here that uses etoh crude redissolved in heated etoh and dosing them with droppers. It tastes heinous, hence why we’re looking for a different method asap.
