Best way to make RSO with minimal smells

[Whitehotdog]

Hi
Whats the best way to make rso with minimal smells
I have made a tincture before using crock pot express with little or no smells .
But assume 95 % proof alcohol and pressure cooker is not a good mix
so Been watching you tube vids etc and lots of people seem go use rice cookers
Thanks

Use a pot still to recover the alcohol. It's the safest method. You can use a pressure cooker as your kettle.

An option to RSO is rosin. Rosin was pretty much unknown when Rick was still in Nova Scotia. This is the route I have chosen, as Everclear is not available here, and I don't want to use the alternatives (isopropanol, methanol, naptha) mentioned in his videos. I could have distilled my own ethanol, but tend to get into trouble with it. I've done it before.

Hi old salts
Thanks for quick reply

A pot still is a sealed container with a piece of tubing routing the vapor to a condenser. There would be very little work to convert a pressure cooker. Just replace the pressure control weight assembly with an exit to the condenser for the vapor.

I have converted an older pressure cooker with copper tubing and a new gasket. Once the vapor is condensed into liquid is it then cooked down to a resin or oil?
