Botanical Charge Frozen in Water

[DetroitDIY]

So I'm using my home built botanical basket for the first time. I did not add a bypass valve to allow fores and early heads to go through with no interaction to the botanicals. And I got to thinking about how to protect them from these fores.

It occurs to me to take all my botaicals for the run and:

1) Find a plastic container that can fit inside my botanical basket.... (that would generally fill up the space, but not completely).
2) Fill the plastic container with my botalnicals.
3) Add a known volume of water to completely cover the botanicals (150 - 250 ml water perhaps).
4) Freeze all that solid before beginning the distillation.
5) Get the botanical ice cube out of the plastic and place that cube into your botanical basked at the beginning of your run. Slightly undersized ice cube should still allow vapor to get past and avoid a plugged system.
6) Allow the delta T latent heat in the vapor of the fores and early heads to melt the ice and release the botanicals, thus exposing the botanicals to the late heads and hearts without being substantially diminished in potency first by the nasty things you don't want.
7) Collect your regular amount of fores and early heads, plus the volume of water you added to you botanicals to make the cube, to be set aside.

Has this been attempted? Any experience or thoughts no this from knowledgeable botanical users?

Cheers!
