Ethanol Alcohol Extraction Questions.

Hi,
This will be for someone with cancer:

Please point out all the flaws you notice in the method I plan to use, Very important, for one person.

Background:
I did a test extraction using ISO but as this is for ingestion I am going to use Ethanol instead.
The ISO came out quite well although I will be using a different teqnique for the ethanol.
ISO came out dark due to heat and my pulivirising the weed during the extraction process but is extremely potent.



I also want to make a larger quantity as it will decrease the amount of time it needs to stay in the vacuum chamber.

The ingridients:

Around 1/2kg of bud, about 2l of Ethanol Alcohol.

Process:

Bud + alcohol to be "frozen" to -14'c in separate containers.

Extraction:
Some bud will go into a mason jar (about half full).
This will be topped up with alcohol to about 1cm above the bud.
Left to stand for 2 minutes, filter through a reusable coffee filter.
Bud will be put aside.
Repeat till bud is all done.
Filter 3 times through unbleached coffee filters.
This extract will go straight into (currently unused) flowering room to desiccate (full fans, no lights, 24/7 till evaporated).

The used bud will then be crushed to a pulp while still wet and topped off with alcohol.
Given a good shake (15 minutes).
This will then be filtered, firstly through a reusable coffee filter then 3 times through unbleached coffee filters.
Extract will be put in a separate pan and left in flowering room to desiccate.
(waste not, want not).

Purification.
48 to 72 hours at 33'c to 43'c extract heat. (so as to save most CBD's/teripines).


Vacuum purge for 15 minutes motor on, 15 minutes in vacuum motor off while at a temp of 33'c.
Vacuum will be purged from chamber.
Repeat 3 to 5 times.
