I finally got my hands on some of the Everclear 190 (thanks to you guys) so though of giving the winterization process a try. I will be working with straight BHO and think I have the procedure almost down but defiantly have a few questions before I begin. I have gone through the tutorial on skunkpharm which has been very helpful but still have a few particular questions.
My basic strategy is to dissolve the bho in the Everclear at a ratio of roughly 1g bho to 30 ml Everclear - Is this a good ratio or should I be using more or less Everclear as I would like to use the least amount of Everclear necessary to reduce the amount of alcohol needing to be evaporated off ?
After the BHO is fully dissolved in the solution I should leave it in the freezer for up to 48 hrs. At this stage my question is, should my mixture be covered in the freezer or left open and is there any risk in doing this in terms of explosions ?
I should then filter the solution and hence remove the waxes that will have separated in the chilled solution.
As far as the final stage & purge goes what is the best method to evaporating off the alcohol and being left with a pristine absolute ? In the case of just evaporating off can this be done as simply as being left in a hot water bath ? As far as vacuuming off the alcohol, must it be partially evaporated off first or can the liquid solution go directly in the vac oven under full vac and at 100-110 F ?
Thank you guys in advance for any info & insight, I just want to make sure I'm giving myself the best shot at being safe and getting this right.
