I also purchased a vacuum pump. I use it to strain the material and it makes quick work of it and save the vacuum on the source. Dripping through the filter takes a long ti

Dumb question of the day.
What size canning jar for an ounce of prime and ethanol for the wash?

When you mentioned Sprout Cap, did you mean Spout Cap?
Both exist lol
I’m a little confused, as I think both could have a purpose.

It’s a screen for growing sprouts in a jar. Replaces the existing seal and ring.

I only put about 1/2 ounce in each quart mason jar. The Source crucible hold 300 ml comfortably (don’t over-fill) so I usually add around 350ml of alcohol to the jar. You only need barely enough to cover the plant material. If you do a second (or third) wash, it takes less alcohol but refrain from adding more because it just won’t fit in the crucible. Tip: Don’t add more alcohol to the crucible during the process. Let it finish what you originally put in there (unless it’s a very, small amount).

Sometimes I find that the Source will ‘time-out’ I believe it’s 2.5 hours. But the machine, itself, doesn’t’ turn off… it’s just starts to feel really cold to the touch. If it feels cold to you, unplug and re-start it to complete the job. Not sure why sometimes it needs more time and other times it doesn’t (but mainly it does).

Thank you both

I ordered both lids from WallyMart, lol.

Process 0.5 ounce in 350 ml of 190 proof ethanol, dig it!

Now my brain is spinning up plans, half oz of prime processed for dabs, half oz of trim and substandard mixed with prime to bring to volume processed for edibles.

So for the time buds, I do a super quick wash for round 1 - that’s for dabs. I do 2 more runs for edibles so 3 runs total on same buds

I took the drive to Wisconsin, the last 10 minutes through stunning scenery. I’m happy to report that they had Everclear 190, I explained the recent increase in Everclear sales to old Minnesotans to the girl at the counter. :rofl:

I just got a 7-piece Rosin and Wax tool set in the mail. The curious thing is that I did not order it! The onliest thing that I can think is that it is a TY from Extractcraft

Maybe. They gave me a grinder as a gift

It is a little strange, there is no reference to ExtractCraft, just the name of the person that shipped it from Connecticut
