Distillate came out looking like elmers glue

but i have ran a lot of cbd and it never came out this color. and by ran both sides, i witnessed the biomass, ran the biomass into oil, then made the distillate. In no way does this look like any distillate i have ever ran, but i will keep it into close consideration

no incoming coa, and i have access to testing, was just trying to avoid that.

Do an alkaline beam test for a quick reality checkā€¦

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?

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 youā€™ve just never done that before.

Hopefully this is just a happy little accident :man_shrugging:

CBG would be a happy accident for sure.

my guess wouldā€™ve been that you got a lot of water into the miscella that you were rotovapping (it looks like a louche test)ā€¦ 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? Iā€™ve melted isolate then redistilled and it cools chalky. Looks similar.

Unless youā€™ve got a market for Elmerā€™s glue, youā€™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 areā€¦.

Iā€™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 donā€™t know that itā€™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 ā€œfrothyā€?

You donā€™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 wonā€™t need a COA

I have used CBD bho and it doesnā€™t look like that after distillation.

I was thinking water until he said it solidifiedā€¦ now Iā€™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?
