Refining Hemp Terpenes

[yoshi]

Recently started extracting terps from hemp using an Apeks CO2 system. The smell and taste is fantastic. However, the appearance is a bit lackluster. They are on the darker side and sometimes milky, from fats I’m guessing?

I was wondering if anyone has experience post-processing terps to obtain a better color and clarity? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Below are pics of two of our “worst” looking runs. This is after they’ve say for a couple weeks so I’m assuming the fats/lipids/waxes are starting to separate.

What’s your viscosity like? Is there seperatation when frozen?
Starting with fresh or dry material?

Very liquid. Haven’t put them in the freezer yet, just kept at room temp. This is made with dry, ground up biomass.

We are very much still in the R&D stage of things. So any advice would be great!

Send me a DM, will give you the parameters we use (ballpark). Ours come out very nice, store easily with no post processing.

I have 2 different proprietary techniques for making refined terpenes.

Hi there, can you share those parameters with me please?

Have the most fire terp process. Figured it out many years ago. Simple tricks go a long way.
