i'm thinking do a first (and quicker) wash for the daytime clear high & a slightly longer 2nd & possibly 3rd wash for the sleepy time stuff.
Yes, I will do the extraction in this way. The bowl with the second wash will be placed in boiling water for a few hours, maybe like this it is possible to get more relaxing effects.
For the first wash I don't want to use much heat as I am looking to get the best flavour. Last time I barely used heat at all and after about 2 weeks the alcohol has fully purged at room temperature by itself.
The common strain here is some cheap bush weed - weak, harsh to vape and a bit more on the sativa side.
Additional jar curing does improve the taste for vaping - does it also effect the taste for the concentrate made out of it, or is curing not necessary for making oil?
With the ABV I will do an own extraction. Adding terpenes is a good idea. When I am back in Europe and have more easy access to such things I will def consider it.
For now I was thinking to throw in the QWET some other dried herbs like peppermint. Has anybody tried this? Will it affect the taste?
I remember that I read somewhere that for QWET the winterizing is not necessary and that winterizing does remove flavour. So I would only do this for the ABV stuff.
For filtering I use the Aeropress. First filter through a kitchen strainer into the Aeropress with a steel filter (Kaffeologie). Then another cleaning with a double layer from the paper filter. Only for the paper filters I have to use the plunge.
