Der beste Alkohol für FECO (Vollextrakt-Cannabisöl)

Not all ethanol is created equal. If you’re making FECO at home, the choice of alcohol isn’t just a technicality. Potency, purity, and safety all ride on the solvent you use. Let’s have a look at the contenders, the chemistry, and how to choose “The Best Alcohol for Making FECO” for your batch.

Was ist FECO genau?

FECO stands for Full Extract Cannabis Oil , a potent, thick, dark oil made by soaking decarboxylated cannabis in high-proof ethanol. Unlike some other concentrates, it aims to preserve the plant’s full profile: cannabinoids, flavonoids, and more. This makes it especially popular for medicinal use.

The better your solvent, the better your extract.

Der Goldstandard: Lebensmittel-Ethanol (190+ Proof)

Best for: purity, safety, full-spectrum extraction

• Example: Everclear 190 proof (95% ethanol)
• Why: High ethanol content means stronger extraction with fewer impurities
• Where: Available in some U.S. states, EU pharmacy-grade suppliers, or specialty solvent retailers

Make sure the ethanol is food-grade and non-denatured. This means it’s safe for ingestion and free from added chemicals.

Note: In some regions, high-proof ethanol is restricted or unavailable. Always check local laws.

Was zu vermeiden ist: Vergrällter oder Isopropylalkohol

• Denatured ethanol often contains toxic additives like methanol or acetone.
• Isopropyl alcohol is NOT food safe and should never be used in edible extracts.

Beide können Cannabinoide extrahieren, hinterlassen aber gefährliche Rücksstände. FECO, das damit hergestellt wird, ist nicht sicher für den oralen Gebrauch.

Zweitbester: Bio-Getreidealkohol

Best for: clean extractions when 190 proof isn’t accessible

• Typischerweise 180 Proof
• Aus Mais, Weizen oder anderem Getreide gewonnen
• Oft bio-zertifiziert

Ideal für Kleinserien-Hersteller, die auf saubere Beschaffung und niedrig-toxische Rohstoffe achten.

Joker: Ethanol von Cannabis-Kooperativen

Some cannabis collectives or small-batch producers offer food-safe ethanol tailored for extraction. This route may offer better transparency and local support , just vet their lab testing and certifications.

Praxiseinsatz: Ethanol und der Kräuterkocher

Once you’ve soaked and strained your cannabis in ethanol, the next step is evaporation , and that’s where the Kräuterkocher shines.

• Use the Evaporation mode to reclaim your ethanol without overheating your extract.
• Read the full user manual here or watch the video on extractions

Lagerungs- und Sicherheitstipps

• Ethanol in einem dicht verschlossenen, kühlen, dunklen Behälter aufbewahren.
• Use only in well-ventilated areas , ethanol is flammable.
• Von offenen Flammen oder heißen Oberflächen fernhalten.

Beim Rückgewinnen von Ethanol sicherstellen, dass der Behälter lebensmittelsicher und ordnungsgemäß beschriftet ist.
