I use a Magical Butter Machine to make alcohol extracted tinctures with decarbed bud. When the machine finishes, it has literally pulverized the bud’s vegetal matter into suspension. I double strain the tincture thru coffee filters, and when finished straining, will have a good amount of sediment that is filtered out in the filters.
I always toss the filters holding the sediment, but wondered if I should dry the sediment and make caps with it. My question is does this sediment have the potential to be potent enough to take the trouble to save into capsules? Or is it too weak to be of any value?
I would say its no good, if ur machine is working the way it should, the alcohol should have disolved all the thc content n such out of that left over stuff. I would prob toss it out. Just my opinion
My gut reaction is to think the goodness has been extracted leaving the sediment pretty much valueless. I agree with your thinking, @Liljoe. Of course I could have been tossing something valuable, so it was worth the time to post a question.
I don’t use, or have, the Butter Machine. I make my tincture by first decarbing 7 grams in the oven. I then immerse the decarbed cannabis in 6 ounces of 151 proof alcohol and heating it to 170-180 degrees and cook for 20 minutes. After it’s cooled, I strain it into its container. My remaining vegetable matter is my quandry…doing it this way, is there any value to my remaining greens?
