Today I decided to make some Everclear oil with some already-squished-rosin bags. They been in the freezer for a few months. So, gather round kiddies, Grandpa's going to blow up the shop...NOT!
Well, it's been a good day. Have a really fine 420 kinda evening. I know I will.

You too GT and I have to add what a beauty shop you have there. I'm Jealous

*Warning! Achtung! Hey Hoser! This process can be dangerous and has the potential to do serious bodily harm. Don't try this at home unless you know what the phuck you are doing. The main things to keep in mind are Everclear is highly flammable and volatile. You must keep your area well ventilated and never, never, never do this near an open flame. That means no cone lighting. You have been warned.
I'm working in my shop which has two windows on the right, a door to the left, and the garage door in front. The ceilings are 10 feet and the door and windows are open to cause a cross breeze.
This is what we are working with today:
The first thing I do is prepare a cake pan with hot water, for a double boiler, and place it on my skillet at a low temp:
I then added the Everclear and let it sit for about 30-45 seconds and then swirl for another 30 seconds. I don't really want to shake all the green out of this; rather, I'm trying to make some shatter.
I then filtered it three times through coffees filters until I had a nice golden color:
After it's filtered I pour it into a Pyrex dish that goes into my cake pan-double boiler. I keep the heat on low (on my skillet 1 is very low and 6 is the highest). I set mine to 3.5 to 4 and let It slowly cook off for about 1.5-2 hours depending on how much alcohol needs to be evaporated. Today it took closer to 2 hours.
I try to not let the temps go above 140-150F during the cooking. Higher temperatures kill terps.
When it's ready the consistency is very gooey and sticky. I use razor blades to scrape all the goodness onto silicon pads. This particular batch yielded quite a bit. I did not weigh anything, but it looks pretty good:
In just a few minutes it's already starting to get stable. It'll be very stable in a few days by just letting them sit. Naturally, Grandpa had to sample his work... Tastes like a gummy bear on steroids...
Well, it's been a good day. Have a really fine 420 kinda evening. I know I will.
Happy New Years GT.
