Can you concentrate Green Dragon?

[Curly Beaver]

I made up a 300ml batch of Green Dragon that I would like to make more concentrated if possible... it works fine but takes 5ml (1 tsp) to do the job, I wouldn't mind except it tastes terrible! I asked someone to pick up a bottle of EverClear for me and they couldn't find it so they brought back Diesel 153 instead. I have read that you can just leave the cap off and it will evaporate but that seems to be taking a long time. Can it be re-heated and if so, what temp and for about how long should it take?
Thanks.

Isn't that just running the alcohol through the trim,bud and through a filter?

You can speed up evaporation two ways:
1) Increase the surface area (instead of a bottle, pour it out into a larger diameter plate/bowl).
2) Add heat, but be very careful. Have plenty of ventilation and make sure there is no spark or flame around.
Additional airflow will help evaporation some, too.

I used a recipe that used heat so I didn't need to let it age for the month. I don't have it with me but it seems like it was kept at 170 for 30 minutes or so.

Thanks Major,
Somehow (duh) I missed your post.... I think I'm going to try to heat it again. I like what it does but I hate the thoughts of taking it due to the taste. I gotta tell ya, so far I like the CannaButter for cookies + Brownies.
I may try going the smoothy route too unless I can get this Green Dragon calmed down a little.

Major,
I know this isn't related.... BUT.... in a couple of your pics in the garage there appears to be an old car on the left side. Is it yours, and what is it?
I also enjoyed the outdoor pics of your grow (in your gallery) , it makes me look forward to summer even more

Thanks, BI!
It is my wife's car. I've always been a "car guy" but this is one of her dream cars. We restored it a few years ago - completely stripped it down and cleaned and rebuilt or replaced just about everything. It is a 1940 Citroen Traction Avante Legere (front wheel drive, torsion bar suspension, monocoque hull/frame). When people hear, "Citroen", they think of the ugly cigar-shaped cars. This old girl looks more like a '34 Ford w/o running boards. I'd post a picture, but that's against the rules. I'll PM you with one.

Your wife has great taste, she's a beauty
