Might as well just make it into sugar and tell the client to stop thinking like a wook
I wouldn’t try to sacrifice the terps because it probably still won’t make shatter if you did that. You want to retain some waxes to give the extract some stability if yiu want shatter. Shouldn’t need to get so cold when u extract.
Turning good material into shatter is certainly possible….and it is absolutely a waste of good material unless you pull the terpenes first.
Pulling the terps first is an option, but I’m under NDA on how exactly to manage that trick. Pretty sure I’ve seen it chatted about around here though.
Using CO2 pulls cannabinoids as well, and I haven’t tried making shatter from post CO2 terp pull biomass. Unlikely to have that opportunity either.
“Sap” is an accepted consistency. Known to be more flavorful than “shatter”.
I’d aim at sugar or budder and attempt to educate the client. If they don’t grok the Organoleptics, I’d politely tell them to find someone else to destroy their medicine.
I’m guessing this is “traditional” market? Certainly not a mature legal market…
Thank you guys for confirming what I was thinking.
So I’m thinking of heating it up to 105 whip, and put back into vacuum. Or am I missing something?
Sorry I’m pretty new to this.
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.
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.
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.
