grain alcohol extraction looks likeit came out well. i tried this with the 91% isophorol alcohol and i got a green colored product and used nice dry trim...not sure what i did wrong but every time i try and do one of these extractions i t seems i dont have the outcome that others get. i tried the BHO extraction and the end product was decent but also a little on the green side. i used 3 cans of butane averaging at about 5 bucks each and got maybe a gram of oil from it. I used high quality sugar trim and popcorn buds.
would like ot figure out a good method myself to get that nice 1/2 melted brown sugar looking stuff, something that can be handled but still has the "full melt" property.
after i made the BHO with not much sucess i decided i didnt have another 100 bucks to spend on butane and just did a ice water extraction with the rest of my trim.
i dont have bubble bags so all i do is ice and water in a bucket, frozen trim in the bucket and take a cake mixer to it for about 1/2 an hour. pull all the chunks of ice out by hand and strain it through a t shirt. then let it sit overnight and siphon off the top liquid then pour into a smaller container. rinse and repeat untill i have roughtly a canning jar of liquid (usually it goes into a canning jar on the second siphon)
this time i did something a bit different. usually i just strain it through a coffee filter and whats left on the filter i squeeze out and let dry and this is the hash. well this time i strained through the coffee filter into a pyrex and let the water evap in the stove on 170F. so i ended up with some rock hard, light green crumbly hash from what the coffee filter caught and then some black, almost resin type stuff from the pyrex..
i really want to invest in a set of bubble bags and do dry ice hash method which seems to be extremely efficient, clean and easy... if you havent seen this method heres a vid on it.

it is essentially the same thing as this method, only using dry ice to get them trichomes super cold to they break off easier.

mmmmmn, still gives me a sore head. Butane is a dirty gas naturally. So you can buy all the top quality butane you want, but I am not convinced there is not crap left behind.
And the dry ice has been done on the 600 by a few folk with good results. I would love to try it, I just need to go out to the airport and buy a shit load of dry ice (it's not as common here as it is in the USA).
Matt, normally when I do the rinse the liquid will be a little bit green to start off with, but as the grain evaporates the green disipates as well and I get left with a golden colour. Perhaps you are mixing the trim too much (BTW - I only use bud to make my oil, trim only for ice extraction).

fuck bho why bother when you can dry sift trichs that are 100% organic, i mean really you think your getting better results from bho? Anyway fucken surgury friday, so ill disapeer to many here's delight lol, Hopefully by the time im on my feet ill have bud porn to showoff.

well i just wanted to try the honey oil as it looked tasty. prob wont be doing it again anytime in the near futurre as the butane is just expensive and not worth the money for what you get. not to mention the amont of $$ in bud your destroying.

getting dry ice is a doddle in the US not so easy everywhere else VTMi. I had to get some swiped from transplant unit.

Yeah had no clue that dry ice was so hard to obtain , and awesome creativity with the transplant grab. I have a relative thats been at ben and jerry's ice cream since they started at the gas station in burlington vermont. To be honest i'd rather just use homemade ice(lots and lots) ive burnt myself with dry ice, but i digress that was at least 4-5 bombay on the rocks later so to be fair i had no buissnes doing said procedure whilst lit up like a christmas tree, ahh yes the ole bombay sapphire on thee rocks! My little blue genie! If i came off negativly i apologize, i wasnt intending on sounding that way. Think im pissy cause i havent medicated in oh three days, and i was on a steady diet of 3.5 grams per day for long long time!

all good man, i was being a bit negative myself this morning. anyway, no bother fella. hope the op goes smoothly and sadly no that nug is taken lol.
yeah my girl used to work at a blood lab testing folks for tissue matches n stuff. was really cool to try the dry ice, the return spanks bho and butane for sure.

Grain alcohol extraction with seperation.
So I have been thinking about this for a while (not sure if anyone else has tried it). But when extracting with alcohol or I guess even butane, the product is filtered through one grade of filter. As we know, there has been great lengths gone to in order for the ice bubble to be seperated into different micron levels. So I thought I'd throw in another micron bag to the mix and see what happened. Here's some pics.
The shtuff!!! I went with a 120 and a 75 micron bag.
I actually used a different funnel, but basically I tied of the 75 micron to the funnel.
I ran the same process as before. Ground up bud in a jam jar. Cover with grain alcohol and with the 120 micron bag cover the jam jar and then pour into the funnel with the 75 micron. After letting it drip through this is what was left in the funnel top.
And this was what came out into the pyrex dish.
This is the 75 micron grade: (not very much, but then I think I only used about 4 of grams of weed for this.)
And this is what came from the pyrex dish after evaporating overnight.
Peace, DST
Awesome D! Looks fantastic.
Iv yet to make anything with grain alc (just using iso) but will eventually. Id really like to make some with homemade moonshine, maybe that could be an option for you folks having trouble getting your hands on the stuff? Just a thought
Isn't that odd? Its everywhere here in the states. I used to get it at the local grocery while getting my food lol Fun stuff to play with,,,, and yes Iv tried to see how long I could hold it in my hand.... not very long lol.
Now that will resolve most any problem IMHO lolanyway less negativity, more nugactivity
thats really nice don.lol I was wondering if anyone else was thinking that!

So the first hit of the 75 micron, was okay (nothing to write home about in the taste or high depo though)....but fuk me the stuff from the pyrex dish is lethal, and very tasty. I have been lit for the last 3 hours of a joint and a dab of that. I am wondering if it's just a little bit more cleaner than normal?

looks melty as sin dst !, how does the erl work then?
i thought it dissolved the oils into a liquid, so straining it through two seperate filters would make no difference.
when making bubble the resin heads remain intact so one bag catches the larger heads allowing the smaller ones to pass through to the next one.
do i make any sense?
