I always Need to dry bone dry for a good de seeding run
Starting to think to dry at 120C for 3 hours
Hope al is decarboxilated in the mean time
And extract with 200 proof etho
All for Distillate
Think that iT can work with Some aditional scrubing to get to gold
Skunkpharm recomended that in the begining and think off gooing try that again
My motive beeing iT s easyier to heat with propane than to chill with diesel fuel
In the remote areas i work
Only thought I have (and I haven’t done either the math equation or a real life r&d):
If adding 4.15% h20 to EtOH to make 190 proof…wouldn’t adding cured or even fresh bio mass per a prescribed volume and weight ratio to EtOH work?
Benefit would be less time and much more terpenes…
I don’t do steam distillation for terpe capture prior to EtOH extractions BUT, I’ve been thinking about it.
—steam dist for terps
—dry/decarb biomass
—extract
I wonder what the oil quality and color or disti would be.
—obviously, this raw oil would not be used and would go directly to distillation
Only issue with that is the first time will be different from subsequent runs. And maybe it always will when using heptane denatured. I prefer pure 190proof ethanol.
Agreed.
I was importing certified organic 190 proof ethanol from Brazil derived from organic sugar beets but the $1500 per barrel tax hurts the bottom line. The thought behind this was to be organic food grade but this is way ahead of the curve because there isn’t an open legal FDA market for food grade edibles yet.
I definitely don’t like supporting gmo corn so I haven’t bought “race fuel”
I’m gonna go with what you posted and add the water.
I think your right it would be a little tricky trying to capture water percentages of bio mass to any reliable measurement.
You said you get a better product though from OVEN BAKED decarbed biomass rather than cured??
I just got done browsing a whole array of spinners and I’m becoming suspect as to why an “Alibaba” spinner (that looks exactly like some of the companies advertising here) wont do the job? What’s the catch? What sets Delta, Ace, HZB apart from the Alibaba advertised models? Is it bc of a US Peer-Review cert of some sort?
*I have never ordered anything from Alibaba before but I have a few collogues in the industry that have had great success from ordering from them, then again they didn’t order a HUGE ass spinner either.
Centrifuges aren’t able to be flooded typically. However, now they are being advertised as being able to soak. Maybe they are modifying their existing units. I dont see a cooling jacket on them either.
