I've been trying to formulate an all organic, cold process which is also more safe for the operator. I will describe the process below, but my question is: While the alcohol is evaporating, doesn't it make more sense to collect and distill the alcohol vapor?
It's possible the re-distilled alcohol could be reused, perhaps after a purification. But at minimum, you're avoiding having highly flammable alcohol vapor being dispersed, which is always a plus in my book. So here's my proposed process:
Do a qwiso wash but with organic moonshine or vodka, something organic, high alcohol content, and proven be capable of dissolving THC. Once the trays of alcohol need to be dissolved, they are put into a dessicator cabinet, which is airtight and comes pre-cut with holes for intake and exhaust.
Input: You'd have a fan continuously blowing air into the dessicator cabinet, in order to speed the evaporation of the alcohol.
Output: You could push the vapor through a vigreux column, which will cause the evaporated alcohol to distill again. (Note: I'm not positive this is the right distilling column, please correct me if you have a science background and know better).
In this way, you have a 0 heat, completely contained (except during the wash), all organic process that will give you cold presses of hash. And again, if you purify the alcohol you can probably reuse it, meaning this could be both safer and more economical.
Tell me how I can improve this process, or organically process this into another product like shatter. Cold processes preferred. Thanks!
