Well it's Saturday night again and that brings another run at the ole eth extract..a new tip from the saturation point of alcohol thread has me double running the eth thru the material once to see if the eth an be used more efficiently,I did a run last week in the saturation thread where the eth was used three times to rinse the material one time,I am still just using bud that's been drying in bowls for a month or so,let's get into the process changes
all the starting material,I was only able to clear one bowl which was not weighed,,filters presoaked
after the first run the eth don't look too green yet,material in bowl ran once
the eth consolidated into one jar to reuse,the small jars were topped of with fresh eth as necessary to cover the material
after the second run the material was put in the plastic bowl to drain the last of the eth which was kept separate
after all the bud was used there was a pile of dry sift "type" kief left
this is the finish of the "pull" ,so now I have the first run eth,the long soaked eth,the kief ,the moondust left in the filters,and material to run a second time later on
temp of water,remember don't rush it with high temps,it can burn off the terpenes ,slow and steady wins the race..
okay this last pic ...the "spidering "lines that look like cracks in the glass is actually the oil starting to pull/coagulate together ,I've. Never included this pic,I could only get it to show with the flash,.I will finish the purge and update in the morning, just though I'd share, hope you don't mind that I tagged you guys in ,
