TheLostBiologist Bucket and Post Processing Tek for Golden Extract

I was reading through the above mentioned thread and another one, that slips my mind rn, where several options were covered for fuges. I ended up settling on a Panda, hoping to run 250g through it. Is that not enough biomass for the panda either? Also picked up a 3 bag set of 5 gal All mesh bubblebagdude bubble bags for lining my bucket and for putting my biomass in and out of the panda. I really liked the data you provided in one of those posts calculating the G’s each was putting out.

I also spent spent some time researching budget ethanol recovery options and ultimately settled on an 800w 4l adjustable ss alcohol distiller similar to the one mentioned here.

I’m hoping to collect most of the ethanol back from my solution using the distiller, then do a final purge in a heated vacuum chamber since my budget definitely doesn’t allow a rotovap. I’m hoping from what I’ve been reading this will be possible without excessively darkening my oil. I’d really like to put it into carts.

I was also considering trying to do a full decarb because I experience some sort of crystallization in my carts I’m theorizing is thca after reading a few posts last night, or very fine particulate we missed by skipping syringe filter disks. It also seems like they thicken with time, so hoping a decarb will also help with that. I’d normally have good links to reference, but most of it I read in the wee hours. I know several of the points I’m trying to reference were made by you, @cyclopath, though.
