ExtractCraft EtOH Pro (Rev2) Ethanol Extraction Machine Questions & Answers

Q: What are botanical oils and concentrates?
A: Botanical oil is what gives a plant its primary characteristics and is used as perfume or flavoring. Concentrates are the resulting form of botanical oils when reduced to a more strong and potent form.

Q: From what botanical can oils and concentrates be extracted?
A: Your imagination is the only limit. You can use any single or combination of botanicals. Whether you’re using our products at home or as part of your business, Experiment and create your own unique combinations, or view some of our recipes for inspiration.

Q: How do I prepare botanicals for extraction?
A: Extraction preparation is easy as 1, 2, 3:

1. Mix the solvent and botanical together.
2. Separate the botanical and solvent by straining the ‘tea’ into the reservoir cup.
3. Put the reservoir cup into place and start the unit.

Q: What solvent is used?
A: We recommend using food-grade, grain alcohol of 190-proof and 95% alcohol.

Q: How long does the extraction process take?
A: The length of time the extraction process takes depends on how much “tea” is placed in the reservoir cup. If the reservoir cup is full, the process takes about 4 hours. If it’s half full, it takes about 2 hours. Quite often you only need to fill the reservoir half way.

Q: What is that ticking sound when the machine is running?
A: The ticking sound during operation is normal. It’s simply the heat controller.

Q: What is the altitude setting?
A: Our advanced technology allows for setting the local altitude where the EtOH Pro will be operated to ensure uniform performance wherever you are.

Q: How do I start the Turbo mode?
A: Start Turbo mode by pushing and holding the green button for a full 3 to 4 seconds, then releasing. The green button will flash slowly twice to confirm the process starting in Turbo mode. Turbo mode cannot be started using the app.

Q: What's the difference between Normal and Turbo modes?
A: Normal mode is the mode for running a typical extraction. It takes approximately 4 hours to complete a full run with minimal pump activity. Turbo mode doubles the processing speed but also significantly increases pump activity. Both modes work at the same internal operating temperature range.

Q: How does the mobile app work?
A: The mobile app will work on android or iOS mobile devices via Bluetooth. It allows you to adjust time, temperature, and pressure.

Q: How do I clean my extraction machine?
A: Hand washing is recommended for all removable parts. Removable parts include the lid, rubber rim, reservoir cup, glass collector, and rubber base. The base where the electronics are housed must not be put into water at any time. To clean the base, gently wipe with a damp towel.
