Thank you Iām going to check out the links! Yeah my vet in the town Iām in wouldnāt know too much about CBD Iād have to talk to vet thatās 45 minutes away from me lol @blackthumbbetty @Myfriendis410 I wouldnāt give my dog CBD thatās been manufactured by those big companies cause I donāt know if they add different chemicals in them. I do have a cbd strain seeds Iām wanting to grow. It has 20%cbd and 1%thc.
Itās not really that they add bad chemicals to mass produced CBD products, itās that they tend to take out everything except CBD. Full plant extracts are best.

I 100% agree with you. I am also going to find out how to make flavor CBD vape juice cause I do I believe me inhaling CBD will most defenitly help me stop smoking cigarettes. Basically if it benefits my health and my dog Iām going through that route lol @blackthumbbetty

I thought Iād post this as a back-check BT:
Did a batch of butter using a different method.
I have a LOT of GNS (Grain Neutral Spirits) at 190 proof that I am reluctant to travel with (3 1/2 gallons) so am using to clean up some of my trim and flower and make butter too.
Decarbāed all plant material for one hour at 240F in Mason jars.
I did an extraction of 50 grams of mixed larf and trim (equal to roughly 10 grams of flower).
I did another extraction with 60 grams of gucci flower.
*Freezer method with vigorous shaking every 15 minutes for one hour then filter and sparge.
Alcohol was evaporated away, residue had 20 oz of coconut oil added and 2 Tablespoons of Lecithin. Heated to 190 F before cooling to ambient. Weighed into forms and refrigerating as we speak.
Color is much lighter than cooking in coconut oil and in hopes potency is as high as what Iāve done in the past with just a cleaner finished butter.
Any suggestions for the next time?

I usually do 3 filtrations of the solution before purging off the ethanol. Potency will be better than budder, straight off the bat, but your end product depends on the ratios you decide on. Remember, PER GRAM, a clean feco can be between 700-850mg of cannabinoids, while an rso type is between 550-700. I donāt bother with dry bud weights in figuring my doses. Itās all about the amount of concentrate you use, not the amount of material you start with. A bit different than budder.
I donāt make budder, anymore, myself. I:

Excellent. Iām hoping to increase efficiency and potency.

Before, Iād use an oz of bud with Ā½ cup coconut oil, and get either one batch (26-30 servings) of chocolates or brownies.
Now, an oz of bud gives me about 6-8 grams of concentrate. That makes 60-80 servings. Plus, I donāt have to add extra fat, like butter or coconut oil. So, more potent and a bit healthier. Also, a bit more work, but worth it in my stoned opinion.

What other option is good? Everclear is illegal in my state and a little harder for me to get. 
Unless I can purchase online and have it shipped?
Anything high proof and clear. You can find high proof ethanol available for sale online.

Ok, Iām in love with this thread. Thank you @blackthumbbetty. Do you or anyone else happen to have a recipe for something like a saltwater taffy infusion? Iāve looked through google but Iām not overly excited with what Iāve found.
