Freezing it after the initial straining, then filtering it multiple times really gets all those lipids and such out of the your final product. When you freeze it, all that stuff solidifies on the bottom, so when you pour it out to filter it, most of it doesn’t even come out of the jar. The stuff that does is ice cold, so it stays crystallized enough that it doesn’t reliquify and go through your filter

I used to not bother with that part, but after I did it once, I realized how much cleaner it made the final product. Again, it’s not necessary, but it does help.

Good morning, @blackthumbbetty I have a question . How long do you normally leave in jar before first straining. And how long do you leave in freezer before second straining. Thanks,

23

I do a quick wash. Some leave it in for hours or days, but it really doesn’t need longer than an hour.

After the first straining, try to freeze it for at least 24hrs, just to ensure the solution does reach freezing temps.

Thank you very much @blackthumbbetty , my Curious mind has one more thought, with the finished product do you add anything for flavor or taste.

Depends what I’m using it for.

For edibles, no.

For tincture, yes.

For dab, no.

For vape carts, it depends.

That’s the basic tincture method. If you want to get the full THC or CBD effects, definitely decarb.

That yellow stuff is wax/lipids/etc, that I didn’t filter out. That is the basic, basic method. From there, you can really tweak it.

@Missiles since we last spoke I have did both Everclear and rum. My wifey likes the rum best. Filtered both numerous times basically making it for her anyway the old saying if she’s happy I’m happy.

You’re welcome! Happy to hear you had success with it!

If you reduce it way down by removing as much of the solvent as you can, you can then mix it with whatever carrier fluid you/your wife like. Rum, vodka, wine, honey, mct, glycerine, etc. For instance, purge out the 151 Rum and add back in some yummy Meyer’s Rum. Oooooooh, yeah!

Thanks I am going to keep improving on this . You have really got my brain spinning on the honey. That is a great suggestion. I have access to local pure sourwood honey. Give me a little time I’ll give you an update.
