To pull residual alcohol, I recommend vacuum pumping (mechanical pump, <1 mm Hg) at room temp for two or more hours. This is faster and more effective than heat andor draft. If your product foams up and collapses in a vacuum, that is what you want ... all that surface area exposed to vacuum means the solvents are making their escape.

No heat plus a coupla hours at full pump vacuum should remove that last bit of alcohol - and be sparing of the natural light terpenes.
Thank you!! That would spare a lot of terpenes I bet. My golden yellow qwet isn't so golden after hours on the heat.

I already have the vacuum source and I'll have to either buy or make a chamber, and let the experiments continue!

Day 3 of north wind, just had a gust of 22. Not supposed to die down until tomorrow afternoon. The humidity has gotten down to 10% in some areas, however any fires that popped up were hit hard by the firefighters. Hope they can hang in there for a couple more days.
Been cool here from north winds. I was stuck inside all weekend and the fireplace is on right now! It looks like a very gradual warm up too :( Thankfully we had a few nice days already to get us through.
