I use grain alcohol 190 proof, so it is edible. Many people make isopropyl alcohol perpetrations, but there is always some solvent left so I prefer good grade solvents.
I dry and cure my buds. Then I break them up with my fingers removing them from the stems and I put them in my dehydrator where I dry them out bone dry.
Next I put 15 grams of dried buds in a pint mason jar and I put that in the freezer overnight. I also keep my alcohol in the freezer it's very important to keep everything very cold because you want to break the trichomes off the bud you don't really want to wash a long time and get chlorophyll.
Then I pour my frozen alcohol into my pint jar and shake like crazy for three minutes. After that it goes through a metal screen filter and then I filter it through a coffee filter.
Then I reduce down the amount of alcohol by reclaiming it in a modified water distiller. That allows me to reclaim about 80% of my alcohol.
I had a few issues writing this and had to make an edit and I will add more to make it clear maybe some pictures later on.
