It’s deeper than that:

@Boshankers

As I stated the one batch of distillation doesn’t ever darken but the other batches I get from a guy darkens like clock work after mixing the cutting agent and Terps in with the distillation.

This might help

Anti-oxidation R&D

This post will be short and sweet. We have spoken as a group about oxidation, the general concensus is that compounds like tocopherol (Vit E) taste like shit and the change in flavor is not worth any benefit gained. Has anyone ever tried using Ascorbic acid? If not, someone needs to vape some in distillate…for science.

Do you know how the offending distiller’s crude is extracted? How about the purity?

Red Ring of Death

I have seen of course many posts and procedures that adjust the acid levels (PH) in the boiling flask. I understand that with a certain category of degredation reactions that are facilitated by oxygen that a higher PH can in theory lead to an enhanced inclination to oxidize. However, I have to ask myself how on Earth can you measure this? I mean, a pH reading as far as I know is an indication of free hydrogen ions present at the moment the test is made. Then the question is, what reference are…
