If you want to winterize effectively you’ll have to recover your solvent to 10:1 Etoh:crude. Or recover then dilute to 10:1.
Skip that and do a cryo wash instead. I use t-5 and hardwood carbon. But I would use celite 545 for faster filtration and I believe t-5 makes d8 if it gets into crude.
With the filter it comes down to how much your filtering. Remember solvent recovery will always be your biggest obstacle.
Whether and how you filter are a bit depended on your goals etc. Every step adds cost, time and incurs potency loss.
Are you trying to make a very clear distillate, or just degum? Are you making a low cost product (then maybe you might possibly be able to skip filtration over filter media if you product isn’t gnar)
We want it to be high quality for sure. We were thinking to just add 1 step of filtration. Doesn’t have to be water clear in a big jar, but when it’s put in a cart we want it to be almost like that.
