Decarbing Cannabis in Alcohol

[cannabineer]

Sure, but not as he suggested in the beginning. Gin like absinthe is done after distillation.

I did not realize that! Gonna need another name for it then.

THC content

In the weed that has been decarbed, prior to that it was THCA correct?

Looking in the distiller after it's done the trichomes are still on the material. Now, since it's distilled, I should dry the material and see what it tastes like!

for science!

To vaporise THC:
THC (Δ-9-tetrahydrocannabinol)

Boiling point: 157° C / 314.6° Fahrenheit

These are the figures for "under a high vacuum". Like 1 mmHg or thereabouts.

Sorry missed this. You are correct. THCA (orally inert) extrudes carbon dioxide and becomes THC (orally active).

"under a high vacuum"

So ambient it would be much higher?

Much. I figure north of 300 degrees C.

I come from a family of moonshiners and have built and used several reflux stills . I always just used high proof 94 % wash the thc out and cook off the alcohol works great just decarb it first .

Seriously this 10% correct!! ^

It's a no brainier.
Decarb pot wash in alcohol, throw pot away, evaporate alcohol and have edible concentrate left in the dish.

I suppose, if you do not decarb first you could dab the concentrate or decarb after concentrating it.. But eating it will do jack shit unless you decarb it.

This is the most basic stoner science their is! ;(

 

[OPfarmer]

Yup! ++
This is THE decarb chart. No fucking wheel to reinvent.

Wasn't trying to.

Sorry,
Meant 100%>

Raratt.. meant Original poster, not you. That decarb chart is the one everyone needs to know. Thanks for that

"Any goodness you put in the still pot ( which is the vessel that is boiled) will stay there. Although the lower terpenes will probably steam-distill and give the spirit an interetsing odor and flavor."

Exactly what appears to have happened. I say "Appears" because I haven't had lab tests but @150proof I can taste the terps in the Green Crack and it's delicious!

 

[raratt]

Found some Everclear in my local store.

I found the answer watching the show moonshiners. You still need to decarb first then instead of putting the buds into the distiller, you make a gin double/triple distiller like this.

10.1.2 Decarboxylating Ethanol Tinctures In Situ - GrayWolf's Lair

One of the issues with extracting with ethanol and then using the alcohol mixture as a tincture, is that as extracted, THC-a does not readily […]

How tempting it sounds. Three years ago, I would have immediately been eager to try it. But right now, the very word cannabis makes me sick. It's just that I used to be very addicted to marijuana. I started with the usual medicinal cannabis, and then it all turned into an addiction. At one time, everything was fine with me until I noticed inappropriate behavior behind me. I began to have attacks of aggression more and more often. My loved ones were scared by my behavior and turned to Abbeycare. I have undergone a course of treatment, and now I am even afraid to touch cannabis.

Look I don't like to curse while typing. And I try not to do it too often when I speak. But when I read troll drivel, such as this, I am compelled to call BULL SHIT! please take that stuff somewhere else....

As to the subject at hand, just do the Decarb, extract the oil and then use that to add to what ever you like.
I once took over 9.5 grams of decarbed hash dissolved it all into a smallish amount of alcohol and then added it to a batch of honey apple stout I had made. Woo-hoo what a potent pint that made for. In a 5 gallon batch that ended up being almost a quarter gram of hash per pint. It was a little too awesome.
I went back and cut it in half by using some more cider water and then back flavoring it a bit.
It was still pretty strong after 2 or 3, lol...
