Rso oil

Hey guys thinking about making some rso oil in my crockpot using 99% rubbing alcohol. Any thoughts or advice never made it before just watched it on YouTube also can I make it using just trim??
 
Greenthumb420 I've found anything to do with ISO washes is not a good product. You can wash any part of the plant. Stems and seeds as well, but is also not a good product.
I'm not sure your legals about high proof Everclear. If it is available to you, use that. Isopropyl alcohol is for cleaning resin sticky things and cleaning boo-boos.
 
Am I wrong in remembering RSO is made with ethanol? Grape seed alcohol? That's why the real deal is $60 a half gram around here.
 
Again, I don't know your state's laws. If you can't buy it, see if you can in a nearby state. If I go to AZ, I can get the good stuff. Don't use 151. Look for a grain alcohol, like Everclear.
 
I agree with Gingerbeard don't use rubbing alcohol or 151. Use Everclear or similar (I use one called "420 Extractor" made here in Colorado) for it, especially if you plan to make edibles with it. Just made some last night, and used what was left in the pan to make gummies so it didn't go to waste.

I used the magical butter machine for the extractions. It worked great and is zero hassle and self cleaning.
 
I’m in CA too and it was delivered no problem. You can order it several places online if you search for Culinary Solvent.
 
I always used popcorn buds and trim and it worked great. I used to take the extraction (tincture), reduce it down to RSO (using an induction cooktop so as to not blow myself up), and use the oil to make gummies. The recipe and instructions are on the magical butter website.
 
That is not cheap booze cannatom ! For folks making their own booze solvent'd extracts, a reclaim would have to be used. But golly, a buck ten for a gallon! In my world, that is a hell of an investment for extracts.
 
Gingerbeard. You're right, the price is ridiculous but I didn’t have another way to get it without driving 6 hours through the mountains to Nevada. Sucked to boil away all that expensive solvent to make RSO. The gummies were good though and after a while I was able to get pretty consistent dosing.
 
This is a great topic and I firmly believe post processing is something we should all be investigating and learning. There is a ton of stuff out there. Maybe more than a ton. Trust me I am not complaining or boasting but I have crafted extracts with 90% THC that are impossible for me to use. Most of us can do a shot of tequila...but a shot of Everclear can just Destroy you. Working on the happy medium somewhere around 35%... the possibilities are almost endless. But there is a science to it and I believe it has a strong future in this arena
 
See, I'd be heading to Arizona and be completely cool with that. Once I get past San Diego, I'm stoked to head through the Cajon Mountains. Bloody stunning. Of course, the price of gas and Everclear would probably be close to the buck ten chuck.
