Distilling out Etoh for Canna Sugar

[XtraHeavy]

@CuriousChemist22

Disty coated sugar seems like a problem waiting to happen. No matter what you make with it the disty is oil soluble and the sugar is water soluble. You’ll get a separation during production that will likely prevent good homogenization because your d9 didn’t have a good chance to mix into whatever carrier your recipe had in it, if any.

If you’re thinking this will make for d9 sugar you can dissolve into drinks, I’ve seen that attempted before and it won’t work either.

Personal medical use and as a caregiver, homogenization just needs to be good enough to make it work.

It is a bit chunky in cold coffee drinks and sticks to the glass a fair bit. Yeah decarbed extract coated sugar is…was the goal. Now I’m thinking making soda, or sugar/dextrin to dissolve in drinks is a better goal to have.

Especially if its as easy as mixing with cyclodextrin and etoh?

I’m going to have to read up on options…just read a bunch of posts from ~2020 with lots of discussion, and fighting, about solubility and thc/cbd sugar products… seems complicated…

@cyclopath

MCT and Maltodextrin.per @KSlabs no need for the sugar.

Or cyclodextrins and alcohol (1 cup for 28g?!?) for better/faster uptake. a cup of high test should be relatively safe to evaporate at rm temp with a fan.

Going to keep reading, maybe syrup instead of dry sugar should be the goal if I want solubility? Not exactly sure how that changes the problem though. Mostly patients here use it in coffee, sounds like you made a honey years ago that worked well for that purpose @cyclopath. It’s been a while since I was staying caught up with the 4200 forum, probably take me a bit to figure out what’s new/current in the world of dissolving thc/extracts and making drinks.
