this is gum?

hi,
i got some distillate issues, this has been shows when put some ethanol in mi final thc distillate, the picture shows what i mean, my cuestion is, what coud be that? is gum?, the only process of degumming to my crude is winterized at -26°C

Maybe some fat that didnt get filtered out?
Ive only seen something like this once and thats when i experimented with distilling some wax that i did not winterize lol

do it again. colder. longer. with a 3D filter bed.
-26C is not really cold enough.

you might find Alumina is your best bet.

I didn’t know what I was doing the first time. At all. I louche now but am looking into better options.

Louche with low ph water, then filter past wet alumina, then LLE into a mixer settler with heptane. Works like a charm.

yeah, OP will need to search on Activated Alumina.

the “stops waxes like a brick wall” was a standout

getting to re-read more of @beaker was a bonus

:wink:
