I’ll have issues with the everclear, nothing here over 40% but I’m hoping my daughter can bring me over something from Quebec that’s close to 200 proof :). Wonder if it even requires to be thinned or will it just melt and mix?

I was originally gonna do it with a torch like they say, but Thundercat's method sounded easier, and I already had the Everclear. Try it with their torch method. That should work the same. I might try it that way sometime.

I want to try it Thundercats way next time. But I don’t have the instructions . From flower to decarb to the entire step by step breakdown . Does anyone have it in an organized step by step like 1,2,3,4 and all the equipment and supplies needed?

I followed a standard gummie recipe,I just goggled how to make gummies and used one of the first few recipes I found. I think it might have been a food network recipe, but it’s been a few years so I can’t remember.

Then I just dissolved the amount of bho, qwiso, or even just hash into about 2 tablespoons of the everclear. If you slightly warm the alcohol the concentrate will easily completely mix into the alcohol. I add that mixture at the end of the cooking stage for the gummies while the sugar was still real hot and stirred it in. Then poured the sugar into my molds.

That simple, no need to do anything special or add extra stuff to get them to bind properly. Most regular gummie recipes I’ve seen don’t call for butter or oil so I never understood trying use it for canna gummies.

My recipe is simple enough and only 4 ingredients (would have been 5 but strawberry extract never showed lol). Next door now our has a butter machine so I’ll try that with an ounce next time

OK, thanks for another tip. It took a bit for it to dissolve in the Everclear. I'll warm it up next time. You rule.

What’s the easiest to make out of bho, quiso or hash? Least expensive equipment wise? I use to
Make real quality hash but got rid of all my supplies and don’t really enjoy the process so much .

I have always found qwiso the best option for me. Its relatively quick, its easy, doesn't require any specialized equipment and you can do it at home without concern of blowing up your house. There is a link in my signature line that shows a basic tutorial I did years ago for how I make my qwiso. There are a couple things I have perhaps refined slightly since then, but nothing important has changed. I pretty much guarantee if you follow the tutorial fairly close you will get an excellent quality qwiso extract.

The way I do the wash process I get an "A"."B"," and "C" grade product. The A grade is downright excellent for dabbing and vaping. The B grade is totally ok for dabbing, but not as flavorful. The C grade is best for edibles. If you only want this extract for edibles, you can combine all three washes and evap them all at once to save a little time.

If you have easy access to buying BHO it works easily. It requires much more process and equipment to produce yourself, and is much more dangerous.

Classic hash can work just fine, but since it still has some plant matter or at least trichome bodies and membranes, that it wont melt in as cleanly and will usually be slightly visible in the candy at the end.

I've got nothing against a properly made BHO. I've never had anywhere to work outdoors so butane was out of the question for me to make at home. I've got a buddy with an awesome closed loop system and he makes killer extracts that I gladly enjoy :) though.

The tricks to high quality alcohol extraction are simple really, keep everything real cold, do the wash fast so you don't get unwanted chlorophyll, and do a room temp evap on the alcohol(no heat!!) with a fan to evap the liquid. This gives the best taste, and smoothness I've achieved by retaining as many terps as possible, and keeping the washes as clean as possible.

Agreed. Dry ice. It’s made such a difference in our extracting.

I’ll try the wash again as soon as I can locate some high proof alcohol. I’m really not keen on using iso again. And yes outdoors is the only way to attempt BHO and the use of a vacume chamber (my mason jar DIY works well) is IMO a must.

20 years? What were you using for butane that long ago? Ronson?

Ya probably lol. I learned how on old FTP sites after smoking some honey oil my uncle had that was unbelievably good (I was 16). Pretty sure it was made using ether but not sure. And yes there was not a whole lot of worry about health back then...... amazing I’m still alive actually ;).

I have an old Cervantes grow bible from around 2007 or so
that referenced the "Honey bee" butane extractor. It looked handheld and held only a small quantity of bud. Ronson was probably run through those as well at the time lol.

Edit. I just looked online. You can still buy that honeybee extractor. Plastic body and all!

Thank you, can you tell me how to find your tutorial on YouTube . The link in your thread post Exclusive RIU tutorial dose not work for me.

Have you ran it with either guar gum or lecithin but not both? I use just guar gum and have had great results with no seperation but have thought about trying lecithin next. The only time I had them separate was using lemon juice :(.

I was planning on using both this run. Not a lot of guar gum, just 1/4 teaspoon . Lecithin didn’t work correctly alone on my first run.
