    Distillate and high proof alcohol

    The English word is saturated or saturation, depending on context. I would put the distillate in last. You will lose some when you strain out the cassis otherwise. The distillate will mix at any ratio with ethanol but less so with water in the mix. Assume 1:1 is the practical limit without...

    Rating and testing are different. A ASME tank tested to 9000 psi, would be rated at 3000 psi. Here is the experiments that we performed: 15.24 DIY SCFE CO2 - GrayWolf's Lair (graywolfslair.com) Ostensibly, using heat instead of pumps will expose your material to a more wider...

    improving my alcohol extracts

    I've never tried to determine the minimum amount of ethanol necessary to do a full extraction. I'm more concerned with getting the most concentrate without picking up non-targeted elements. I typically takes more than one wash to do so without sacrificing quality. 9.4.7.1 QWET - GrayWolf's...

    improving my alcohol extracts

    I reduce the amount of alcohol after extraction using a still, or simple evaporation in a Pyrex casserole dish to give it a lot of surface area. I leave just enough alcohol for it to flow properly and not burn my tongue when I use it sublingually.

    We used SCUBA tanks. Their operating pressure is 3000 to 3500 psi.

    supercritical co2 extraction - diy community?

    20 mpa is about 3ksi. Techincally that is adequate for 1500 psi, but due to possibilities of manufacturing flaws, ASME Section VIII pressure vessel code would require 3X or 4500 psi.

    supercritical co2 extraction - diy community?

    You can do it without a pump, but you can't control the temperature pressure curve to minimize pickup of untargeted elements.

    Making and cleaning RSO.

    My cat eats my cannabis seedlings, and the squirrels steal my green tomatoes. I had to cage my seedlings and I trapped and relocated five of the squirrels, but more keep coming, so it is a lost cause. I see squirrel jambalaya on the menu next year..................................

    Cant get BHO right

    Growing crumble grains is a longer process than simple purging and is typically done over longer periods at lower temperature to promote grain precipitation and growth. I would suggest starting around 85F or so below 10,000 microns/-29.5" Hg. Whipping or stirring continues to break up the...

    Cant get BHO right

    If it is decarbed, you will never achieve shatter. The process I shared makes shatter or pull and snap, depending on the terpene content of the material. You can dab decarboxylated, it is just low viscosity and sticky.

    Cant get BHO right

    Verify your material. Hard and brittle is carboxylic acid state. You will never get there if the material is partially decarboxylated. Have you examined your material under microscope to see what color your trichomes are? Amber will typically be more decarboxylated than clear or cloudy...
