Making higher proof alcohol

How often do you need to replace the ice on a standard run?
Will 1 tray do it, or are you consistently refilling the ice for cooling the re-collect?
 
I really hope people are not using denatured alcohol for extraction. Sure, it’s cheaper. They also add undesirables into denatured alcohol. It’s not the best choice for extraction.

Nature is in all of us. Will drinking denatured alcohol suck out my good nature and replace it with undesirables? Like how Twinkies are made from bananas? Suck the good nature of a banana and you have a Twinkie. Think about it. Slice one of each in half and compare the sections. Yes, yes. It may kill me and blind me and whatever if I'm not careful and junk. Like Twinkies. But what about my nature? I hate bananas. I don't hate Twinkies.

Making butter with 4 grams of decarbed weed is NOT the same as decarbing 4 grams of weed and making butter. Man, did I get my ratio wrong. I sort of knew it going in, 'tho.
 
Nature is in all of us, but nature has also caused mass extractions of some past species. We all need the sun, but the UV light can cause us to develop cancer. Twinkies will outlive us all!
No, but drinking the methanol from denatured alcohol will suck the life out of ya and replace it with detritivores.
 
I knew it! The dinosaurs didn't go extinct! They got extracted!
Where can I get a gram of triceratops shatter? Is a crocodile a landrace strain? What about cockroaches?
Twinkies can't outlive us. They have no life since being denatured bananas. They will outlast us as the objects we each define.
Cockroaches will dive into their bomb Twinkies when WWIII happens. The internet might be down for a few minutes. Generations of cockroaches will live and die but their bomb Twinkies will survive until the Vogons drive by. By then, none of this shit will matter, anyway.

Wait a min. Are we still talking about extractions? Or just leaving behind water. Sure, making a higher proof could be beneficial. Let’s say you could control temp within +\- 10Deg F. So you boil the ethanol and are making a higher proof. Does that mean your water/THC/cbd and other oils mixture doesn’t get dried properly?
I think we have gone off on a tangent here. You won’t be making a higher proof anything if you are still drying your THC/cbd and other oils mix into a smokable product.

For me, the point of using the highest proof solvent is to reduce the amount of water in the solvent that can absorb chlorophyll. Water is what brings all of the undesirable components into your oil.
 
Agreed. I’m a 200proofer lab grade quality kind of extractor. Check out my link above. It’s costly... but quality control doesn’t come for free.
 
That’s one opinion. The other is when you are I are dirt again, Twinkie’s will still be Twinkies. Life on earth really is only cells and elements organized and arranged. In that sense, Twinkies will outlive us all. The Cockroaches will too. 🧐
 
True, but we are talking such a small amount being absorbed that it is basically negligible. Just don’t leave the cap off when you store it.
 
Just because I put up a disclaimer does not mean we follow the law,,, my hood is described by the LEOs as "6 square miles of junkies and thieves, the only known place one can go door to door looking for drugs and find anything they want."
We do like out freedom, even if it is not legal,,,,
 
God or a god? I can't eat God alltatup. The flesh of Jeesus. not problem. Apparently it's made out of flour and water, if I ever wanted to got the cannibal route is all I'm saying.
It looks like my banana/Twinkie connection is well founded. The cream filling was originally banana flavored.
 
Hmmm...
God is a Hostess branded, crème filled, log of goodness that is also good when fried at state fairs? Dudette, I'm converted!
But I'm on a diet so I'll have to stick with the flour and water for a while.
