Problems with shatter on nug runs

If at this point you’re saying f the shatter. Then yes.
here are a couple of links for that.
Butter/Budder/Batter/Badder
Whipping Technique Questions
You can always throw it in a jar and put it on some heat for sugar as well or you can do a taffy pull and make some crumble. Hope that helps.

Confirming with client up front may be appropriate.

Splitting the batch and making (small) samples of “sugar” ,”budder/batter” and “sap”.

Then perhaps using the solution I used back in 2013-15 and winterizing a sample to achieve “shatter” so they can huff them all and learn…

@cyclopath i think I’m gonna make budder with my part, and show him the options. I would never just decide for him.

@Dankoholic thank you. I really appreciate the link.

The sappiness could be caused by a high D9 content aswell.

I blast dry ice cold for shatter…I want my shatter to actually shatter and without a freezer doing it

Ur trick would only give him a good pull and snap

If u used n butane and blasted cold was the material really fresh? Or really old?

A light run through b80 can sometime give it the stability it needs

Making shatter outta a fresh or FF source can be tricky bc all the terps…

How thick are you pouring the slab?

It takes a true extraction master to make shatter outta terpy or FF material…or dumb one I can’t tell really bc losing all those terps just to get it glass like ughh

@StoneD thank you for your input.
The material was very fresh. He literally just finished drying it. I let it overnight next to my Quest dehumidifier to remove a bit of extra moisture.
I usually run through CRC, and normally I don’t have the problem that it doesn’t shatter, but he specifically said, that he wants no remediation.
I think I might have poured the slab a little too thick. It was like medium, but a little thinner might have been better.

ive gone back and forth on trying higher temps or lower but shatter is a tricky beast. I dont keep lab notes so thats another thing.

If your goal is strictly to make shatter ignore this post but if not search up jelly tek I find it makes a far superior product then shatter and less work to purge.

I actually ended up talking to the costumer to make him aware of the issues, and he is fine with badder, so I pulled some taffy.

Haven’t tried the Jelly Tek yet, but I actually saved a screenshot of @Gumby s post a while back. lol

It’s very simple and the finished product is much better, no vacuuming out all the terps.

Does it only work with nug runs, or does it work for trim? I have about 150lb of some old a$$ trim I’m not too sure what to do with.

I’m not sure about that, I usually use fresh dried flower, I would guess with old trim it’ll turn out much darker and the terps won’t be there.

Works with all material, it’s just a post processing procedure

Thank you!

Any extract can be made into rock hard shatter. Heating it will only make it sappier, you will not burn terps off( where will they vaporize out to if they’re in the oven). You can still take that sap and turn it into shatter

As for no crc. You can still remediate metals without removing the chlorophyll if that’s what the client wants. I would still run through a 0.22um filter to remove any dirt or bacteria

@CarmenSunDiego stop by on Monday by ChemTek if you got a chance and I’ll share some tek with you
