Bacardi is fine.
Grind your product and soak and shake for a minute, filter and allow the liquid to evaporate.
Longer soaks do not necessarily produce more product...only green coloring.

Ratio?
No heating of the ground product for 'decarboxylation' prior to?
Rapid soak, that makes sense. I brew coffee rapidly for a similar reason.

I had a sticky residue on the bowl when I heated and realized that the oil was running off the product and onto the container....so, no heat anymore.
Just enough liquid to cover the product well...I use a mason jar and add 1/2" more liquid than mj.
All this started with green dragon with a 3 week soak , then 3 day and finally just a wash. You will have the taste of whatever alcohol you use so pick one that you like.

You smoking J's in the house while the lady's away? You must feel like a king!
You smoke this stuff... so no need for heating it. You should heat stuff if you are making a tincture as there will not be the necessary heating to activate the THC otherwise. Does that make sense?

I have tried to multi quote, but this morning, computer say's NO!.
Hi Brandon, thanks for stopping by. I am sure you wiull at least get a giggle hear if nothing else.
Colco, if you look at the bit in the middle of the tray, it went super hard like dried kief, but when it was all scraped off it went into a chocolate sauce goodness. Will throw further pic up in a bit.
Shnk, bacardi is something I would like to try actually. Not sure if that will do much for the flavour but would be intresting.
T, the OG's are all different a little bit. One of them is a stretchier one than the other, and one is a Triploid, the OG-OG seed has been a slower starter but was infected with thrips but is getting back on top of things. I just potted them up yesterday so time to see the real structure start.
100% sure, this is def the nicest and tastiest oil produced. You can leave it longer, you may get more, but it will be like Tar, thick and very dark (lots of plant product stipped off as well) A 30-45 seconds and all you get is amber coloured oil!!! Perfect!

Take it easy everyone, Monday will be upon you soon. Thankfully I was up early and got all my paperwork and invoicing out of the way. Time to fee the ladies in a bit.

So your saying go ahead and get it to puddling before it gets dry. I usually wait till the the edges are just "sticky" then roll the chips to a nice hasj like ball. I fear leaving alcohol in the slurry because I usually use ISO and that could be kinda nasty since it's an industrial waste biproduct. Maybe I am just being overly paranoid. It seems to be a very nice quality still. How do you know if the alcohol has completely evaporated? Or is that the purpose for the everclear so it is food grade and doesn't have to be completely removed?

Everclear mate.
And I don't doubt that one bit, lol.mornin D fella! what alcohol you using? you got everclear or iso ? i dont think a bottle of 151 would last long enough in my mitts to do even a quick wash

I have not used iso cowboy, and have had no ill effectes from using everclear this way so perhaps the last part you mention is true. Mine will eventually go hardish but not something that you want to pick up in your hand unless you have got a good cleaner to get that shit off, lol. I'll get some pics of how it is today....brb.

how long do you let it soak for? Looks very dark, the first stuff I made I soaked for a while and it was also dark and could be picked up easier. Still got to take the pic, lol.

I've had that 151 sitting around for at least ten years. Left by a college student who house sat for us one year. She also left some 100 proof Kahlua which just seems plain wrong to me. It doesn't make a good Russian at all!

One of the balls is very dark and it sat for over a minute because the coffee filter gummed up (too big a batch) and I had to go into emergency mode but it soaked for far longer than I would have liked. The other one is deceiving, it looks like its dark but its really a nice honey color and it soaked/shook for no more than a minute, this camera on my phone is bullshit. lol
** the one on the right has little "pecks" of the honey color from the other lump, the "barrel" shaped one looks dark where the Smash lines are tight. It doesn't look "black" at all in person, the larger lump does look and is over soaked.

That looks good man! I can see the amount of moisture there, so do you stir it while it evaporates too? I saw your glass pan in the other page and it looked just like mine (I don't stir it). If I had to assume I would venture that you let it get that semi gooeyness then chub it to your little dish there for stirring?
The smaller (for a reason ) chub is of pure power plant, all tail sativa pheno. Taste of vanilla, lemon zest and pine mmmmm instant face pressure oh ya, it's proper 
wouldn't mind a dab of that, what is it, deep psychosis?
mmmmm,
Uncle erl is awesome, I still bubble some, but I have come to love this process. I think I might like to try a more moist product, I'll go get some everclear for that though.
BTW, I have switched to a swiss gold micro mesh instead of paper filter and it does leave more material but it is negligible for the ease of use. Yours is very light (almost looks like bubble), beautiful really...

Thanks cowboy.
I only stir after the stage pictured further above. I treat it reasonably gently and just try to form it together and then transfer into the little pot for carrying around. I think this moisture level is perfect, although if it dries further it just tend to get more solid (not an issue really, and I guess in some ways easier to manage). But when you dab this on a bong it just melts down into your bud and like you say, gives you that lovely rush of warmth to the face. I cut the Deep Blues I used for this relatively early, they had been problem plants and between the 3 of them gave me an ounce dry to go into the oil.
I have been using one of my bubble bags to strain, the 120 micron, and have used the 75 in the past as well, but that was with a longer soak oil.
