Harvest & Curing What to do with trim???

[Builder0101]

Should I put the wet trim in the freezer? A friend has all of the different extraction equipment. should I save up 3 plants worth of fresh frozen shake, sugar leaves, etc and bring to him? Advice appreciated.
1st harvest.

What type of extract are you going for?

Honestly dont know. I will have a gallon zip bag full.

My advice would be to figure out what you want. That way you know how much you need.

Here are a couple things I can think of off top of my head to look into for starters.
Hash
Tincture
Cannabutter
Infused oil
Rosen

Ya. I dont think it will be enough to bother with bubble hash. Perhaps rosin. My question was freezer or something else.

I'd personally go with tincture. Put it in the oven for 1 hour at 115 degree Celcius, let it cool down, put into jar/jars and fill with at least 40 volt alcohol. Simple as that. No need for any specific equipment. And the final product... man it kicks ass, is low profile and easy to use with anything - food and drinks.

Thanks. I'll research it now. Rubbing alcohol or vodka?

Ideally everclear. You can freeze trim and everclear then combine in Mason jar or something similar. Shake it around for a couple minutes then strain through something to remove trim from alcohol.

From there you can evaporate the everclear as desired to increase potency. You also have a lot of other options as well like evaporating off all the alcohol for a thick oil.

If you do that you could use it sublingually still or add it to food or drink. Heck of you get all the alcohol out you can soak a bud in the oil then coat with kief and make moon rocks.

I use half Absolut vodka (good filtered quality vodka) and half 96 volt alcohol (drinkable, not some stuff from apothecary that shouldn't be used internal).
This gives me around 70 volt alcohol that is great for this kind of tinctures. But man it can be only vodka, or some brandy. It just needs to be at least 40 volt DRINKABLE liquor.

Thank you. I am drying my trim ATM. Will get as high of proof alcohol later today. So many videos on Isopropyl not many on booze. Any suggestions on sources of info?
