    Did you prep the disc in your funnel with hydrochloric acid before your first use?

    I haven't used my Buckner funnel, I've just filtered plain gravity through coffee filters. I had planned on getting into winterizing but then I got sidetracked on something else.

    Its a good day!!!
    Just need some grease and hydrochloric acid, may see if I can just get away with pulling some etoh through to prep the disc
    It is criminal to look that cute while sitting in clean laundry

    That's a very nice clean looking vacuum pump you have there, part of the reason I never use mine is it is so ugly.

    Ordered some hydrochloric acid and vacuum lubricant so I can prep the disc for my first filter attempt
    I was thinking of using some vaped weed to make a tincture and see how much of it I can clean up
    But first maybe a pass of the tincture below with just a paper filter on top of the disc to see how clear I can make it

    Wow, been a while
    No hydrochloric acid was ever needed to wash the glass filters
    So many rabbit holes, so stupid
    Finished a syrup video but the reception has been brutal so I am getting out
    If a moderator is reading this feel free to delete the thread so the trolls don't find it
    To the rest of the community please be supportive of anyone trying new things in the edibles world
    If you have food or scientific knowledge please help instead of mocking

    Hey brother, I kind of like this thread I can't see deleting it. If you're having some issues and you want to stay kind of low-key, we have other options available.

    Its just too toxic to be introducing anything right now
    I come across people who scrutinize what I am doing but for the wrong reasons
    The infused simple syrup is an example of what you can do with molecular gastronomy but I keep getting beat over the head with honey/agave/glycerine
    The point was molecular gastronomy not getting into a debate over which carrier is better, they are different forms of the same carrier
    This is my fault, lack of internet knowledge and stoner posting made my thread open to this scrutiny and rightfully so

    Have come a long way with my cold alcohol extraction filtering to mitigate the "taste" in edibles
    This was one of the chief complaints about edibles
    This fix is not that hard but does require some work and depending on how far you want to go a little bit of equipment
    The actual simple syrup was a goof to see if we could do it
    What we came up with in the end was a fun product that worked well and was very versatile
    At least a couple of months in the fridge for shelf life, my current syrup is in week 6

    Along side the molecular gastronomy we had to research nano emulsion
    The smaller we can make the cannabis oil droplets and the better the dispersion and suspension the better the bioavailability from my limited understanding
    The syrup allows for a high speed electric hand mixer process that gets a good dispersion and suspension
    This is what I believe separates it from honey/agave/glycerine
    Not sure what would happen if you took a high speed electric hand mixer to those three
    Now the above is speculation because I never intended to compare and contrast the syrup with anything else, it was just an example
    But the internet is the internet and this would best be done in closed circles

    Think about this in terms of nano emulsion and bioavailability
    This is what I am researching
    What I am being scrutinized over is comparison
    Use what you want but don't overlook nano emulsion
    Eventually someone will come along and taint the thread and ill get feedback that I got a year ago
    If I can get these threads removed I can retreat and not waste time getting into it with folks who are just screwing around

    I want to state this clearly, I am here because a relative got throat cancer and could not smoke/vape and did not like the taste of edibles
    I was ignorant about the way the forums work and have to accept responsibility for everything that has happened to me
    Removing this thread would help to alleviate some of the pressure and remove any confusing info I have posted
    Its been.......interesting
