I think this happened due to how my buddy cured that round…this was not fresh frozen…it was flash dried in like 3-4 days! he said his shop was hot (end of summer heat spell) and he couldn’t cool it…so I think it like cocooned the terpenes…this was outdoor 9#
I remember seeing a few months ago some CLS systems that came with a spool after dewax filled with 3A beads that the solvent would run through before collection.
I’m going to do my first live resin run tomorrow with about 10lbs of live material. I’ve followed all the proper protocol for freezing and will be running as cold as I can go (-75). Would it be acceptable and beneficial to also load up one of my filter ferrules with a shitload of 3A beads to collect any moisture in the oil as it runs into collection?
You could try it, but I’m pretty sure most dont do that, they just use them on recovery line like you said yours is and that dries your solvent in its gaseous form as its returning from the collection,
Liquid solvent isnt recommended for most sieves and oil laden solvent would likely clog them rendering them useless, but I’m no expert…
Hey, I know this reply was from awhile ago but is there any way you can elaborate more on this? I want to incorporate live resin into our routine but am hesitant and do not hear much on the subject when using CO2 extraction.
To run fresh frozen in a Co2 system you need to prepare your material first . You would need to get a Flash Freezer to extract all the water from plant material befor it goes into the system . Then run Subcritical…
Thank you for the help I really appreciate it. Anything specific needed to account for the excess moisture? I’d rather have as many variables accounted for on the first run as to not damage equipment.
