I’m relatively new to this, been studying for about 6 months, have read a bunch on this amazing forum. My current question is: if we start with ethanol extracted hemp crude (likely winterized and decarbed) as an input, and want to get to a “distillate” type product (golden color, 80%+ cannabinoid) that can be used in tinctures, edibles, perhaps vapes, etc., is hot distillation the only way to go? (SPD or similar), or can filtration / CRC tek also accomplish this?
If its possible with filtration, it seems interesting to us as we are keen to keep degradation to a minimum in general.
We would be starting with small batches (500ml-2L), but want to scale eventually as well (say 10L-20L/d). Really appreciate your thoughts on this.
