Hey peeps.
I had a pound of bud, some of it moldy, and i decided that i wanted to salvage it. So i bought 5 liters of Isopropyl 99% and went home to get on with the show.
I wanted to process it all in one big bowl and purge it at once, so i had to be a lil creative. First off...5 liters of alcohol was not enough to cover a pound, so i decided to reuse the strained alcohol and divide the weed into 3 batches.
I used a stainless strain and a cpl of 10 liter buckets for the first step.
I poured the alcohol into one bucket and a 3rd of the weed into another. Then i quickly splashed the alcohol onto the weed, sealed the lid, and shook for 10 seconds. Peeled of lid, and strained into bucket. The straining took about 10 more seconds. Then i did exactly the same thing with the remaining 2 portions of weed..although shakin for shorter amount of time with each batch.
After i had strained the 5 liters, i was left with a bucket of alcohol that needed to be filtered.
I used a large funnel and some industrial coffeefilters. Double layers! I cut a hole in the lid of a smaller bucket and used a lampshade
to support the funnel..then i poured the alcohol thru the filters.
i filtered the alcohols twice to make sure that no dirt, etc. was left in it.
Then i boiled off the alc. using a electrical heater..
I left it on the heater for 7 hours until it was cooked off, and left it sitting for the night without heat to evaporate the last...the next day i used boiling water to make sure that no fumes was left and let it cool off.
Im not sure how much oil i was left with, but its a substantial amount
As to the texture..im not sure why it havent hardened up..maybe its not clean enough..dunno??
Ive smoked a cpl of joints with oil smeared on the paper, and its a funny stoney high...it sorta creeps up on me and leaves me sitting on the couch with a empty look on my face and eyes redder than red..lol.
Stay Safe
