How long did you let the alcohol sit with the pucks in the jar?
I’ve got a massive collection of rosin pucks and I was going to mail infused oil but this seems easier lol
Hi there. I see that you have a few threads with pressing and oils etc. In your opinion whats the best and easiest i stress easiest the most too thing to do with trimmings?
Is that anywhere in any of your threads I can read up on and try? I'm just starting to flower and a new grower so I wanna get the most use of the entire plant besides just the buds

I'm gonna have to YouTube this I thinkI like to make dry ice hash! Simple and easy!
1lb dry ice to every oz of shake, trim, or bud and lightly agitate! I do this over a glass table for easy collection!
MAKE SURE THE GLASS IS CLEAN!!
Once the dry ice hash is collected let it dry to 62% and enjoy!
Thank You @Old Salt ,
I have problems with the final evaporation process using 190 proof in that the oil wants to shoot temps and starts to spatter my med over the hot plate. So then I try to bake the oil in oven at around 245 thinking it will finish evap while baking for decarb, but again back off because of spatter. Med ends up runny instead of thick like the video and several others show me. Also not feeling much effects consuming 1/2 gram of the liquid at a time. I am goofing this up big time and cannot afford to keep missing. Appreciate any and all help and promise once I get right, to pay it forward as many times as possible.
RSO, FECO. CCO, BHO, and other oils are the same thing, with differing solvents used for the extraction. If you watch 'Run From the Cure,' You'll note that Rick Simpson used whatever solvent he had on hand to make his RSO, even using naphtha. Another solvent used today that was not available during the time Rick was making RSO is CO2. If you intend to perform a solvent based extraction, I'd recommend either high proof ethanol (Everclear 190 proof) or CO2. High proof ethanol is the cheapest, but most dangerous of the two.
Over the past two to three years rosin has been an accepted method of extraction. It is probably the safest and fastest method of extracting the oils. It can be done using a hair straightener, but a lot of us use a rosin press to get more from our starting material. Cost will vary from about $300 USD for 3" X 5" caged plates if you have your own hydraulic press, to $650 USD for a complete setup.
Any of these methods can be used to get a pure extract. If solvents are used, they will need to be removed to get the purity you want. Part of the extraction process for most solvents is decarboxylation. This is a separate step for some solvents, and all pressed rosin.
You need some form of temperature control. Pure ethanol boils off at 173.1°F / 78.4°C. When water, or something else is mixed with the ethanol, the boiling point rises, especially as the ethanol is boiled off. As the ethanol is boiled off, the water starts boiling off as well. All of this must be done slowly.
The splattering indicates that the water is turning to steam too fast (the heat is too high). The bubbles of steam burst through the RSO carrying it out of your container. Half a gram of the liquid should knock you out when starting. This indicates to me that the oil has not been decaroxylated. All the bubbling should stop when it's full decaboxylated, as water is formed in the process.
A rice cooker is often used. A temperature controlled hot plate can be used, as can a deep fat fryer. I'd use oil in the rice cooker, and in a pan on the temperature controlled hot plate to isolate your container of RSO. If you use a deep fat fryer, you don't want the container with your RSO to float. Put the container of RSO into the basket, and add cooking oil to the fryer until it just comes over the bottom of your container. Use a candy or infared thermometer to verify your temperatures. Bring the oil up to about 180°F to start. As the bubbles die back, keep increasing the temperature slowly until you get to 230°F. Hold it there until all bubbling has stopped for at least 15 minutes. This should get rid of the ethanol and water from your oil, and decarboxylate it.
