I read its better than everclear. Plus I have loads of acetone and everclear is $20 a liter here. Especially since IDE only need 150ml. Has any one ever winterized with acetone and wat are your thoughts?

Never used acetone just everclear this post from icmag should be helpful apparently this guy used acetone as long as you give it a thorough vac purge you should be kosher.

(Steps out of time machine) Yes acetone does work well. Also boiling temp is like 138f. Much lower than everclear. Oh Yeah! I remember now.

Im diving into everclear washes now, does acetone have a better taste profile? Live etho I made is gold-fire and tasty but the plant is still smelly.

Acetone has a boil point of like 138 everclear like 178. Everclear tast like, eh, everclear, plus purging all the extra water is a bitch. 200 proof Lab grade ethenol probly dosent have that taste. Anhydrous Acetone winterizes much quicker starting at room temp, and completely as quickly as 12-24 hr. It leaves a tastles dabs but in my opinion its a more complete purification compared to ethanol, pretty much strips everything but cannabinoids. No wax, terps, smell and any alot of water solubles. I prefer it to everclear personaly. Plus cant beat 5$ a liter. Only like 1% water but acetone is the easiest to make anhydrous(dry), while ethenol is near imposible at home. I prefer Klean Strip brand, its the cleanest. Can use as is, but drying it out completely (0% h2o) is even better. If interested in the tek let me know.

I blast into a jar. Put that jar in a cooler of dry ice for a few hours then pour through a coffee filter before vac purging. Usually 24 to 48 hours. This batch turned to shatter in less than twelve hours. Not sure why but it was very flavorful.

I have a bunch of fresh cut haze nugs in the freezer I am about to put on dry ice and blast some live resin. I will not get to taste it til next month. Probably going to be my first dab after I start smoking again.
