Hey HM,
So...I've made honey oil twice now, using Hexane and coffee filters and it comes out black. How do you get yours to come out Amber like it does..? Is it the solvent you use, the product you start with or some other thing that keeps yours amber colored..? I used dry bud and sugar leaf, with a 90 day cure, ground in a coffee bean grinder. I then dissolved the trichs in the hexane over low heat for three minutes. I poured off the liquid, repeated the process to get the rest of the trichs. I then filtered all of the solvent solution through a coffee filter before boiling off the Hexane. (basically, I'm using Rick Simpsons method)
The oil looks amber when it's spread thin, but when it's poured into a vial it is black. It tastes like a bitter sweet, nutty oil. It smokes or vapes very nicely. It's sweet and tastey when vaped.
Am I missing a process or doing something wrong..? I want my oil nice and amber looking, but I can't seem to get there. I get approx. 1/2 ounce of oil from 1/4 lb of bud/sugar leaf starting product.
Any help would be deeply appreciated. I'm about ready to grind up 1/2 lb of DJ Short Blueberry to make my next batch...it would be great if it came out yellowish/amber in color.
Thanks,
Krist
