Dry sifting

DeadlyFruit Oh, to have two lbs sitting on a shelf, lol. I'd probably QWET a lot of it to store. My chest freezer is downstairs, the jug of EverClear that's been in my fridge-top freezer for probably 9 months takes up a lot of space. If I grew enough I'd QWET and freeze a bunch in hopes of affording etoh recovery eventually. My subzero chances were late night or I wasn't home at the time but I'm sure there's more ahead. I hear ya about left behinds, I'd rather rinse out my empty nug quart jars, then use that EC on the next one, until they're all cleaned and put away for now. That bit of EC would get used for washes. I have too many partial vape cartridges, vape pens that batteries died early but oil remains, o-rings full of oil, syringes with oil ... I might tilt & chill the carts whose tops I can remove and try to pull out the globs of oil, and put all the oily o-rings in a small container in the freezer then shake off all the hardened oil. Not desperation but trying to declutter, and I hate to throw away vape oil.

Decarbing the shake, I was going to use a cookie sheet and a parchment liner but wondered if it would take as long, it's been in the freezer for 9-10 months and went right from drying to freezer because I ran out of jars and lids, no jar curing. I bought some high % Bubba Fett shake that's like powder, never seen such fine shake from the dispo, waste of $. I figured the shake would be harder to filter. Maybe better to just make firecrackers with that Bubba disappointment and ghee or cooking oils with the less-fine shake that I grew.

I haven't made QWET since last year's extremely cold outdoor temps, it would've been perfection had I been prepared to finish it with air or a heating mat. I'm striving to match that batch while finishing it better. I could see half reducing a QWET then pouring it into silicone cupcake liners, stored in a covered container in the freezer until needed in a recipe. If there's heat in the recipe most of the remaining etoh should disappear, or it could be helped along. The half-reduced QWET might be stickier but in silicone in the freezer it shouldn't matter.

(I was just googling something, stumbled onto a Denver dispo menu ... I gotta get growing again!)
 
@puglover & @ Deadlyfruit, you guys have both got it right in that making a batch of strong QWET, say 20+ mg/ml, is a great target because from there you can store it nearly forever, and it is readily transmutable to everything from putting a little excitement in your morning coffee to baking brownies or taking it down to oil dabs.

I've been experimenting with adding a gram of freeze-dried bubble hash to an ounce of Everclear and having an instantaneous dropper bottle of potent tincture. I have yet to try soaking a bud in GD tincture then rolling it in keif. This is apparently all the rage with our crazy youth.
 
grouchyoldman I'd rather have it at the ready, and a good part of a grow stored in oil 6 months after curing. What happens when fire hits a bud soaked in green dragon then rolled in kief, I wonder? I imagine the etoh would evaporate but you never know what's trapped in the middle, lol. I wish I could tolerate GD tincture.
