I think the vitamix will turn into a big mess…
As described above, I would go got much simple approach (perhaps even no mixing at all, just capilarity…) for the extraction step, and then use a seed oil press to get it out… I d really like to test one of such press. Have the plan to do a pre test on a classic press (using two plates sandwiching a cloth, but did not have time so far.
It’s a cheese press, you can get em on amazon
I used one for many many batches of ethanol tinctures herbs
A clay press could also do the job i think.
also…get micron bags used for pressing resin. makes for very clean home made oil
it might. 
although @CATScientific does claim decent efficacy with their high shear homogenizer when Extracting kief - #20 by CATScientific
low tech, effective, easy. sounds like a win.
assuming a decent source of trichomes to feed it.
1k word substitutes are grand, but this particular one leaves way too much to the imagination…
any chance we can actually see what you made?
what do you mean by “triple dose”?
guesstimate at potency?!?
eg: ballpark: 100g at 15% into 500ml ==> 30mg/ml
lol. the youtubers are great…they were using 1/2 oz of cbd flower to every cup of mct oil. so i used 1 and 1/2 oz per cup of oil. strained it out and then with that same oil added another 1 and 1/2 oz flower and put it the oil from the 1st batch and then ran it through the instant pot again. nothing exact about what i did. but with a lb flower you can make 3 gallons of this stuff and then send it in for your $65 test to find out where your at on potent scale if you need to. im not selling it.
To achieve a rough 30mg/ml using a similar methodology we would use 5lbs post decarb to 2.5 gallon MCT. 8-10% material. It yields less liquid than that obviously depending on how much you can squeeze out. And you have to do two “dunks” in the same volume of MCT
thats how you say it quickly. 2 dunks in the same oil. losing 1/2 cup oil in process. lol thats how you say it.
now show us what it actually looks like…
there’s to much detritus in it. but i’m going to do round 2 because what the hay, it’s fun . i bought 25 micron resin bags for the next batch.
and i have a big stash can (55gal drum).tease!
but seriously, noting that it “needs filtration” for shelf appeal is not inappropriate.
the object of the game here is “simple”, “effective” and “at home”. So showing the results of said “simple”, even before filtration, is helpful to those following along at home.
imo
it tastes great no issues there at all. lol tune in for the next installment of diy cbd oil.
thank you for this info. very helpful. did you use a total of 10lbs of material for the double dunk.
You’ve been given all the volumes and weights, along with the starting and ending potency.
Why not try working the math?
edit: 2250g of 10% in 9.4 liters => ~24mg/ml
so No, that was 5lbs total.
we’ve also got “about gal to cover a lb” to fall back on.
so getting 5lb into 2.5gal is going to take two rounds…
dude … do the math. lol thats hilarious. so i should have said “on the 1st “dunk” did you use 2 1/2 lbs?” and “then on the 2nd “dunk” did you use a fresh 2 1/2 lbs for a total of 5lbs?” but thank you for working out the math for me. appreciate it.
is it?
how about handing a noob a 500mg brownie?
is that hilarious too?
it’s not like it’s difficult…
the object is to up everybodies game.
making that math part of every formulation or extraction you do will up your game.
sure, or you could have guesstimated how much CBD it would take to make 2.5gal of 30mg/ml, and checked that number against 5lb. as shown.
do it until it’s second nature.
because dosage matters.
