I haven't tried the sock wrap yet but I have found that slower my draw speed helped to darken the ABV. I also figure if the ABV is lighter it will just make whatever I use if for more potent.
I will do that. As far as wood choices I don't have the budget for any exotic wood. Of couse I would love a piece with lots of burls or the like, but SWMBO would have a heart attack. She Who Must Be Obeyed will approve of what I want ... within reason. Her reason being the deciding factor.
I am thinking an Alpha Dog would work best for me. Today it took 4 Dynavaps Full of CBD flower on my current log to kill my migraine. I’d rather just load once and be done. When do you think these other cores will be available?
