Crude to distillate or biomass to distillate?
The latter is not impossible, but last time folks were actually sharing biomass to distillate efficiency numbers around here I believe reality was closer to 65% of input cannabinoids in the output… see:Hemp Crude-Distillate Yields
pretty hard to get 80% overall efficiency to distillate when you’re below 90% from the biomass
10kg 14% trim. == 1.4kg thc
10kg 1.5% waste == 150g thc
Not quite 90% of available cannabinoids captured.
assuming @karmabob can manage 80% efficiency from crude to distillate, and is not throwing any away when winterizing, we’re at 0.893 x 0.8 = 0.71 => 71.4%
0.7144x 1.400kg == 1kg of actual THC
if you’ve achieve 90% thc distillate, then you should have 1.1kg
I suggest you work the math for what you’re currently achieving. And then (as @thesk8nmidget suggests) go check where (else) you’re leaving cannabinoids on the table.
If you don’t know the meaning of “mass balance”, you should get that under your belt right now as well.
My bet is you’re tossing “fats & waxes” that contain cannabinoids, and your heads and tails contain even more.
