Me too! I own a Extract Craft Turbo, which I get by with, but processing a half gallon at a time is a handy feature if you have any volume. One of the things I've appreciated in my personal relation with Graywolf, is that he gets to beta test some keen equipment that young Jimmy can't afford.
Cottonmouths were the most common poisonous snake where I grew up and they a thick snake, so grew huge, especially along the Washita River, where they could be seen regularly sunning themselves on logs. We would also catch them regularly when seining farm ponds to rid them of trash fish. The trick is how to get them out of the net without getting bitten.
While we drove to Okene to hunt rattlesnakes for the El Paso zoo, we tried to avoid water moccasins and shot them on sight if'n we were packing. They are far more aggressive than a rattlesnake and will attack and chase rather than warn and try to get away. I remember my dad beating one to death with his prize custom made bamboo fly pole that was attacking us, and I still have the broken rod.
I never saw writhing masses of cotton mouths, but have seen kingsnakes do that. I always took the kingsnakes to our barn alongside one of the gardens and remember one year finding a mass of them about the size of my finger, which I grabbed hands full and chased my older sister with. My two younger sisters thought they were cool.
39F @ 80% RH, cloudy, and predicted to reach 46F.
I jarred up my first two QWET extractions for dabbing and combined the semi spent material from them into one and extracted them using a 10 minute soak with periodic agitation.
The EtOH Pro made short work of removing the bulk of the alcohol and I stopped short so that I could still pour it and finished it off by airing it out in a casserole dish over night. I took a couple dabs of it this morning, which were delightful, and it's now in the oven at 250F decarboxylating before turning it into a tincture.
