and once done get some activated carbon filter to get rid of the chlorophyl, do a little vacuum purge at cold temp just to boil some of the alcohol off and tadam better than any co2 extract anyone will sell you.Everclear have announced the return of the “Summerland” tour. Do it at minus 20C with whole flower hops, fudge pellets man. Since you seem a interested in this type of stuff try a soxhlet extraction with everclear (heck even distill your own). and once done get some activated carbon filter to get rid of the chlorophyl, do a little vacuum purge at cold temp just to boil some of the alcohol off and tadam better than any co2 extract anyone will sell you. Do it at minus 20C with whole flower hops, **** pellets man. My advice is collect about 20/30 ml of that oil mix with a tiny bit of alcohol just so it mixes and into a keg it a goes. Sounds like a decent return about 1.8/2 ml per 100gr is sort of the amount that the hops can have. You can most certainly reuse those hops for bittering additions but im sure that if there are any essnetial oils left their amount is negligible. Im curious how does it smell? does it smell better than the hops? If so then your method might be working well.Īs to your question the acids need to be izomerized and that can only be done through temperature, i doubt the hydrosol solution would have a useable amount of acids, i bet theyre still in the hops. Not a bad set up my friend! I for one dont like steam as a form of distillation because steam can volatilize and decarboxylize some of the more interesting compounds due to its higher temperature. Pictured below is the only info I have for the actual hops I used. I have no idea if 2.2mL/100g or 2.8mL/100g is the correct number for my hops. I'm using the numbers from the online stats.Though the condenser seems to work really well, it's possible that some steam still exited the system carrying oil.I believe the latter produced almost half as much as the first batch. I actually extracted from 4oz of hops first, then an additional 1oz in a second batch. I believe that packing the biomass with less stuff makes it more efficient.I could have used some sort of solvent in there to rinse, then gone through a bunch of effort to remove that solvent, but I'm no chemist. I can still see a lot of droplets in there when done, and I believe they are oil. There was certainly oils left clinging to the condenser, and especially the still head.Grams of Citra that I used: 142g (5 ounces) The stopcock allows you, in the end, to drain the water, then drain the oil into a vial. It's designed so that if it fills, the water will overflow out the side tube and you don't lose any oil. See second picture, yellow hop oil floating on column of water. separatory trap captures the oil, floating on top of water.Chlled water is passing around it, from bottom to top (see rubber tubing to small submersible fountain pump in HD bucket). graham condenser completes the condensing of the steam to liquid the condensed steam drips down that curly glass tubing in the middle. steam enters the still head where it starts to condense note it's slanted slightly downward.steam rises through the biomass flask (hops here).In fact, I'm not fully sure what I'm doing here. I got this toy for making essential oils from various stuff. I figured the distilling forum was as good a place as any for this.
