It's easy and it works. Yeah it tastes like ass but only for a second and mostly cause of the alcohol for me.

I mean, I'm just sharing the instructions Frank had shared previously, which is how I did mine

Hey @Suki Please, I am just sharing too!!! Not disagreeing with you at all!! The author is who I disagree with, not you, I know that you are great!!!

I honestly feel bad for Wade lol feel like he was exposed to drugs/alcohol in utero or something

Exactly and some of us can't help that so go easy on poor Wade.

I have to disagree with some of that.
The object is to extract the good stuff and leave the bad stuff behind. The bad stuff is chlorophyll, waxes and lipids. You do not want that foul ass crap in your extract, period. Alcohol is a polar solvent and will dissolve what we want and also all the other crap so we need to devise ways to keep what we want and loose the rest. Then there's heat too much and we loose terpenes.
To keep out water soluble stuff we go cold, colder the better, dry ice is best, but freezer works too. Get that stuff in there and keep it there for 48 hours. Don't chop it up! Break it up gently. Think that if the more you break it / chop up the more chlorophyl and nasties get exposed to the solvent. All we really want are the trichomes and they are on the outside so why chop??? So now you have a fairly clean extract. If done well you may not have to winterize and filter with the Büchner set up. But if you do make sure the funnel and gear is just as cold as the rest and it should be because you put it in the freezer two days ago with the rest. BTW the cold filtration is winterizing as it solidifies the waxes and lipids so you can filter them out.
Heat is a whole 'nother subject but we do need to do some decarboxylation. I don't do it before because I use my still and do Jar tech decarb at a fairly low temps and need to get all of the alcohol out. But still decarb is a function of time and temp so you can use a lower temp for longer, but again I don't have a good detailed answer for this one. But do, do your favorite decarb but I would do it after you broke the flowers up gently so as not to disturb the material too much more. . .

Anyways that's my $0.02. I tried the butter machine bullshit along with quite a few other things and just stopped because I just could not stand that awful smelling and tasting crap I produced. Now I make clean and nice tasting extracts. They're potent, smell and taste great.

How much chlorophyll is left in slow dried and cured bud?
All I'm gonna do to my experiment is throw some bud in my Ardent FX normally. Decarb it.
Freeze both canna and booze in the freezer separately.
Cover up the weed well and lightly stir with muh glass rod.
Do the daily light shake for the recommended time
Strain and then filter with muh new toy.
Let air reduce in big flat Pryex pan until half the volume.
Fill two dropper bottles.
One fer me......and one for the stoner guy that did my repairs. He said he'd test anything I did. He said that the first time I gave him a bunch of hits off a fresh Swordfish fully charged. The expression on his face was absolutely priceless!
I'll just keep the rest in the freezer until my testing is over.

I think the author is a great too @Frank the Dank has never steered me wrong I have not done any extraction of this sort so I have no input

Didn't know it was Frank, and yes an awesome fellow for sure. I still disagree with the chopping though!!
