what do you have against iso?
it's completely clean, safer than butane. cheap. it's polarity allows more terpenes and a higher range of medicinal compounds. this also keeps it from pulling waxes but cleaner than qwet. it's pretty close to the perfect solvent for a single wash

No disrespect, but it shows me you have never had the pleasure of trying real wax. It's not a bad thing, but you should try some from a source known for there co2 concentrate. Terpines are Not extracted w Isopropyl, Isobutane, n-butane, Propane doesn't grab em' nor does Ethanol. The solvents I know for that work are Methyl Pentane AKA Hexane and Oxygen Compressed when used in a scf extraction.

Hey everyone..
Would it be terrible if I used everclear 151 or iso91% to winterize?
I am in CA and would like to do this with whats immediately available around me....

Oh my bad, I was referring to the extraction using 200 proof, winterizing should be fine for that use of 151 Everclear.

Still a large water content. 5% is a lot of water. Get 200 proof undentatured ethanol. Food grade as I taken a shot of it, burns like hell and I feel a capful, is available to California residence to be delivered from ebay. Sierra Chemical Co has it, but the shit costs $119 a gallon, which is what a gallon of ever clear will cost, but w out the large water content. 5 gallons for $370 is a way better deal, but easily justifies grams costing $50-$80. I love that stuff. Such a sweet tasting end product. You'll thank me later.

Do you know what they used as a drying agent to remove the last 5% water?

I must warn you, the MSDS is scarier for EtOH than it is for C4H10, but w human consumption in mind, ethanol is far more acceptable. They post on their web page the MSDS and how they back their product up and are family owned and operated. Sierra chemical co: eBay

Where are you in California? Safeway and Vons Pharmacy usually carry 99%, but I go to Hank's Hardware in Temecula, I can get 1 gal of 99% Isopropyl for 20 bucks.
