A question I probably should've asked back when I started, but also a topic I can't recall ever seeing mentioned....
But how long on average would it take to distill filtered/winterized BHO?
Lastnight I put my first fully winterized batch (1200g) into my distiller and over the course of about an hour I slowly brought the temperature up to 236F where I was starting to get a good reaction in the head but it wasn't boiling over into the condenser.
I get to the point it's looking like it's done with the heads, and the distillate is looking nice and yellow with good clarity so I rotate the cow.
Fast forward 6 hours later from this point and I'm still collecting hearts, up to maybe 250-300g in my collection flask, and still have a load flask full of what must be around 900g....it's 3am at this point and I have no choice but to shut it down and let it cool before I crash and fall asleep.
Is this a normal amount of time, or am I waaaaaayyyyyyyy off base here?
