Alkaline Beam Test: Colorimetric testing for CBD
Preparation of Solution & Workspace
Fill plastic graduated cylinder with about 70mL of 95% ethanol.
Weigh out 4g KOH on wax paper and add it to alcohol.
Swirl or stir with stainless or glass rod to dissolve all KOH.
Finish filling graduated cylinder up to 100mL line with ethanol
Label the clean glass jar “5% KOH in EtOH, CBD Beam Test” or similar, then pour the entire solutioninto the jar and seal the lid. Swirl a bit to…
needless to say d9 will not crystalize so the majority of this cannot be d9.
I would also try melting some and seeing what color it melts into and then see if it solidifies again. how fast did it solidify?

trying to avoid that.
Lean in, my friend! In a world of chads, wooks and hustlers, testing will always have your back.

Would be funny if you just managed to make high quality CBD product and you’ve just never done that before.
Hopefully this is just a happy little accident

CBG would be a happy accident for sure.
Have 3 kg of CBG distillate available with more on the way soon. Looking to get $1400/kg but negotiable.

White CBG flower also available. This is 2020 season. Looking to clear it out. All big buds machine trimmed. $100/lb 15lbs left.

my guess would’ve been that you got a lot of water into the miscella that you were rotovapping (it looks like a louche test)… until you said that it was completely solid. Your crude looked pretty good too. Not sure what to tell you. Keep us posted and good luck.

Any chance your crude was melted isolate? I’ve melted isolate then redistilled and it cools chalky. Looks similar.
Unless you’ve got a market for Elmer’s glue, you’re gonna need a CoA to move this.
CBG would certainly be best case. CBD seems like an outside possibility. No clue what our other options are….

I’ve run a couple thousand liters of CBD and never had it look like glue. I may have missed the part where CBD distillate is supposed to look like glue. I understand crystallizing, but never have i seen the white frothy look.

Ok, I must have missed op saying it was frothy. Sorry only trying to help.

Neither have I
Any of those thousands of litres use BHO as the input?
I don’t know that it’s been explicitly stated, but my guess is that @Frostytubes used hydrocarbons and CRC on the crude.
Which should lead to a lighter colored distillate than most hemp ops achieve.
Where did you get “frothy”?
You don’t see the resemblance between

He also said it was completely solidified, so that to me would contradict the frothy statement.

Kinda looks like those pics of d10 crystallizing in converted liters
Maybe move it across state lines as plywood glue?
Then you won’t need a COA
I have used CBD bho and it doesn’t look like that after distillation.

I was thinking water until he said it solidified… now I’m with the CBG crew. Someone screwed the pooch on the genetics.

Looks like d10 from fire retardant biomass. How was it extracted? What happens if you try to crash it like CBD?

Not an unreasonable guess…although that would be one hell of a conversion rate.

I’ve seen it done accidentally and it looked very similar. Only seen it from CO2 extractors that decarb the biomass prior to extraction on material contaminated with fire retardant.
