What did you accomplish today?

I’ve only tasted the 75% stuff :spew: I know a Pole who drinks it with red bull and doesn’t get wasted. They must have super drinking powers

Have a really good Polish buddy I consider family.......that shits literally breed in! I have lots of northern European influence in my blood and can hold my own. But I don't even try to keep the same pace......fuck that lol. He had some good spirytus a number of times with a little cherry syrup......good shit!

Hope everyone had good long weekend.

Ours started off quiet but we had one of those unexpected Saturday nights where we're quickly outnumbered. 2 guitars turned to 4 and before long the sun was coming up.

Sunday I made hangover food. Beer can bacon burgers.

You must try these.

Those look brutally good. On my first look only the top image loaded.

“Oh. They must be done when the beer can explodes.”

How long at what temp?

I heated the grill, shut 2 burners off and put the burgers on indirect heat at 300 for about an hr.
You can stuff them with anything and top with your favorite cheese blends.

I stuffed mine with sautéed onions, sweet red bell peppers, jalapenos, garlic, and portabella mushrooms. Then topped with triple jack, Munster, and extra sharp cheddar.

In that pic they're about 25 minutes in.

Is there chlorophyll in hash? I would think it would be green if there was.

20 years ago I put a bunch of bud in everclear for a long time and then strained and reduced to a very thick green syrup.......this time I used the sift from buds put into my bubble bag (forgot the # of the bag but kinda fine) it was the first time I'm using dry ice so yeah a little more green came out than I will do next time. I now know the length of time immersed and temp of material and alc effects how green the finished product comes out. Or am I totally wrong? For the last 20 or so it's been not much experimenting and just weed or bubble hash in a j, pipe or bong.......never really got into the extract thing much past bubble bags with plain old ice and water. So basically all new to me even the dry ice......

If you extract bubble hash with a good solvent, you get a solid residue. It is a tan, dry and very light (like rice hulls) material with an almost sandy texture.

I don’t know your process. Please explain it in detail, or link me to where you did so of you wrote it up on this site. Then I can probably give you useful info.

I am having trouble visualizing a syringe with two liquid phases in it. Where do your solids end up? I seek detail.

This but I started with the dry ice hash sift not bud. Pretty sure it's the weak alc just not performing efficiently and leaving water in it. The gummies taste and texture came out great.

I do a QWET in the freezer, frozen decarbed buds and "frozen" 190 proof everclear mixed for a short time. I'm still experimenting with the length of time. I tried 6 minutes yesterday, I did 3 minutes previously and it seemed to work well. I just shake it up for a few, then let sit for couple minutes, then repeat. It came out more brown than green.

Do you reduce from there or just use with the alc? See I wanted to use a tincture over a butter or oil so the gummies aren't soft. I like a tough gummie lol I might be totally wrong on this but I always take the tough route I guess

I grew up on the East Coast. It was very difficult to cool the apartment with a box fan. It stayed hot and muggy all night.

Here in the desert, the high-low daily temp range is much wider. I can passively cool the house because while the high can be 115 the early-morning temps might be 70 or even lower.

I don't know how anyone could live in the east without air conditioning, especially on the higher floors of apartment buildings.

Your liver is probably grateful. If a Pole ever offers you home made wine, graciously accept then dump it down the drain when they're not looking! My partner is a first generation immigrant from Pierzchnica. She came on a student visa, loved Canada, got her PR then citizenship. That was before we met. She doesn't have the drinking superpowers like other Poles... thank god! She can smoke weed like a champ tho.

The prep has a filtration step. I am asking about the texture and appearance of what is left behind on the filter paper after you’ve run your liquid solution through. I am burningly curious about the solid or tar left on the filter: appearance and texture.

The fact that you’re getting two phases means your alcohol isn’t concentrated enough. Multiphase systems tend to have very variable results: one batch worked fine, but another done the same way failed. It’s potentially wasteful.

I offer two recommendations.

1) Make sure your solvent doesn’t separate into layers after you add and dissolve the hash.

2) Don’t decarb before extracting. You’ll have better results describing the evaporated tincture.

Ok so how would you go from sift to gummie? Or a quick wash to gummie?

I would say that from freshman year (1979) until I moved away from the East (1990) I didn’t live with a/c.
From 1990 til 2019 I lived in California. From 2001 to 2009 I lived with a swamp cooler of marginal effectiveness.
From 2009 until 2019 I lived in raratt country in a poorly-insulated house with a/c that I ran as sparingly as possible. The low humidity makes a big difference,

Now I’m in the desert in a much better-insulated house with a/c. I am still miserly with the a/c which draws over 3 kW. (First smart meter)

I remember two places especially. Sophomore year I was in a 1-bd apartment with ALL the windows facing west and no fan to my name. You could slice the heat with a shovel in there around sundown in the summer.

Second place was the apartment we (my ex and I) rented in Pittsburgh in ‘88. That was a hot summer. Not much draft in the place, and nights could be a sweltering ordeal.

All that said, I prefer it too hot to too cold. There is something blasphemous about solid water.
