I am sure there are plenty of ways of achieving the same result. I wanted to stay away from hazardous chemicals such as butane, acetone and any other non organic liquid. I am using pure grain alcohol also known as everclear which could be found in only a few states, make sure you have friends in these states. This was my first time working with a large amount so I used loose ends of brick weed and some cuttings, a bit shy of 1/2lbs. The only thing I will do different next time is soak it for a couple of hours instead of a few months. I used a new pair of female stocking to strain, sterilized of course. Also I got some carbonised charcoal and strained the liquid through that so it would reduce the bad taste you get from letting it soak for so long. I thought it would help reduce the green color, which I am sure it did, but the flavor was the beneficiary of the filtering. I used a double boiler with a fan and plenty of fresh air circulating. Be mindful of neighbors though.
Packed my bong with some bud, put way too much oil and hit it. Took me a minute or two before I dared to stand. I ended up with 7gr and plenty of happy friends.
