I make terrible distillate....why?

you can’t “denature” cannabinoids. you can isomerize or degrade them.

which means breaking or moving bonds.
denaturing is “unfolding”. which does not apply here.

Older material darker oil? Why is this happening?

you can denature proteins, because their 3-dimensional structure is both complex & important for their function. you can degrade or isomerize cannabinoids, but they don’t have enough complexity to their structure to “denature”. http://chemistry.elmhurst.edu/vchembook/568denaturation.html as for freezing cells rupturing them and making them leak, yep, it happens. if you’ve cured first, it’s less likely. If you’re after live resin, then getting it frozen fast, and not thawing, keeps some perce…

although I guess one could argue…
