Shatter vs crude please help

Help Support and Requests

Ive been making shatter for many years. My question is what is done differently to make crude? There’s obviously a huge difference in the way it looks. I understand crude has all the fats and lipids. But shatter looks like glass and crude like poop. I want to start doing crude. So how do i go about having it come out so differently. Is it the temps of the tane? Im assuming you would use room temp tane for the extraction as opposed to cold so as to leave in all the fats and lipids. Please help

Just do your normal tek, but dont bother purging traditionally. Collect everything in a big stainless steel pot and decarb/ purge on a digital induction hotplate

Ok thanks. but I’m still with the question why does the crude looks do different coming out of the extractor? And so what temp and how long on the hot plate?

Crude often looks like garbage because well… most is made from it.The material you are running is probably better than most of the trim that the crude labs see. Trim is often a year or older when made into distillate because it lost its first chance at extraction or was improperly stored. The old material coupled with a hasty extraction where temp, time, moisture, ext are not a factor creates a significantly darker product. you ever extract some trim that looked like road tar? boom crude!

Run your normal sop. Compile it, winterize, reduce and decarb… boom… crude.
