Extract question
#23634384 - 09/10/16 11:34 PM (7 years, 4 months ago) |
|

I'm doing an Everclear extraction, and it has been evaporating for about a day. I used an oz dry to approximately 150-175 mils alcohol. It's evapped down to about 15 mils. I'm trying to get it super potent. I was wondering if all the psilocybin would still be left in the beaker if I let ALL the alcohol evap. I got curious about it cause the blue substance sinks to the bottom after agitation, and it's like mostly an amber color above that. Is that normal? I'll post pic in a sec

Are you trying to end up with a solid product or just a minimal amount of liquid?

Yeah that's what happens, and it'll evaporate into goop. I'd recommend not doing that in this case. I'd totally just leave it as is. Basically 2g per mL. Pretty cool.
This is about half a pound of shrooms turned into goop.

.5g dose on the right. Equal to around 3-4g.
Smells and tastes just like shrooms too lol

Yeah, I know it smells JUST like dried shrooms! I used to be an alcoholic, so I'm just trying to minimize how much alcohol I have to swallow. Not because I am worried it will trigger me or anything, I just can't stand the taste anymore. Ok, so I'm going to stop the evaporation at 14 mils. Gonna take 7 of them (half ounce worth) today after work! See ya on the other side!!

Next time just use water. Water is a much better solvent for the actives both psilocybin and psilocin. Then add ethanol back in later if you want it for its preservative quality

If you really want a pure as hell extraction, methanol is the way to go. Then store your final product in alcohol, like TC said.

I haven't seen a tek here for it but.... It's really simple, if you can't find one, try the following:
Process your mushies, wet or dry. I should elaborate. Wet if you want full potency. Dry of you don't want that amber goo like alcohol or water extracts. I suggest dry
Mix with just enough methanol to cover the top of the mushrooms you use in a mason jar.
Let it soak for a few hours. Shake and emulsify ever 30 minutes.
Pour liquid through a cheesecloth to strain out mushies. Toss the mushies.
Put the alkaloid containing methanol in a glass baking pan.
Let it dry completely. Make sure no methanol remains. This is important.
Scrape residue with a razor blade. Put in alcohol for storage, or put in it your mouth for the ride of your life.
Your crystals should be more pure and therefore a bit more white than the ever clear extract. But they will still have an amber tinge.

You want anhydrous methanol its unnecessary water does well. You can freeze into ice cubes or add liquor and refrigerate

Awesome, so it's the same thing I did with the alcohol, except let it dry. Thanks for the tips!

Is methyl alcohol the same thing as methanol? I googled anhydrous methanol and didn't see any products specifically listed as such

Yes. Otherwise known as wood alcohol.

Well, here's some crazy news for ya, I took half of the extract today, 2 hours ago and didn't get any effects except happy mood. This was a half ounce dry. I don't know what could possibly be done wrong. Nothing there's nothing. The only thing I can think is that I took a bunch of kratom a couple hours prior and maybe it blocked the psilocybin from my brain?? I just lemon tekd 4 G's dry, so i I'll find out if the extract is bunk

there's a reason almost no one does extracts. best bet is making shroom chocolates or something. If I want an "extract" I just make tea and freeze it.

I tried that tek. Didn't use enough sugar and fucked it up. Make sure you follow he directions well. I added an equal number of grams stead of mls and fucked it up. Managed to get some tasty candy but had little effect. I also lost alot to the wax paper disolving. May try a silicone mat if I do it again.

I've done it with a single oz. But honestly it can be a crap shoot on yield. The main reason to do this in to minimize the amount you have to consume. I've had mixed results with extracts. A couple floored me but most didn't come out how I wanted.
