I would have posted this is the cacti forum, but it won't let me. So here it is:
Swim had some Torch powder, and attempted to make some syrup, thinking that the liquid/solids would separate by straining and/or filtering. Little did he know he discovered soon, very little.
As he looks at a pot full of green slime he wonders:" Is there any way to just get the water out?" Can he freeze it and just collect the runoff? He certainly wanted to avoid the usual time- consuming A/B or STB, and get a full spectrum product.
Any insights on this?

Muchos gracias

Boil the water off and concentrate it? duh?

sure, freeze, save liquid
add pulp back to pot, add more water, boil until snot stops foaming
use old tee shirt to wring out the liquid

repeat until pulp is not bitter

add all liquid phases, boil them down to syrup

imo, a stb is quicker

txs, but the problem he is having that he can't strain it through a t-shirt or a strainer cause it all comes through...liquid and solids. He just doesn't want to cook it all down, he would have as much material as he started with!

Can he still to a STB? He already added some vinegar before boiling the first time.

sure

ok, there is no way he can filter this snot. Couldhe just change the PH to 11, and then pull with naptha, and evaporate the solvent to yield a full spectrum extract?
txs!

You CAN filter that stuff. It just takes a while. I used a large sock style filter that I made out of an old dress shirt.

yes, it is possible. That dress shirt won't let the particles through, that's great; I just don't have a press, and doing this by hand is very hard.
