    I need help figuring out the math for my edibles.  
     
    I've searched the threads as well as I know how and not found the answer.
     
    I made 2 cups of infused coconut oil from 4 oz. of good trim.  This is 16 ounces of oil, the same as four sticks of butter.
     
    I have recently discovered that coconut oil does a better job of making potent oil than butter due to the high saturated fat content.
     
    First I made a batch of 36 cookies using 9 grams of bho, decarbed, and dissolved into 4 ounces of butter, one stick.  This would be 250mg of bho per cookie I believe.
     
    Then I made a batch of 36 cookies with 4 ounces of the infused coconut oil from the two cups I got from the above extraction (4 oz. good trim to two cups coconut oil) , equal to one stick of butter, and the reviews were consistent: coconut cookies were much stronger.
     
    Here is where my math craps out.  
     
    I want to make some brownies with the infused coconut oil.  I want them to be as close as possible to the same potency as the cookies.
     
    The recipe calls calls for 1/3 cup of oil (2/3 of a stick, 5 1/3 tablespoons) to an 8x8 pan of brownies.
     
    I think I need 24 brownies from the 8x8 pan as the oil amount is 2/3 of the amount from the cookie recipe that made 36 cookies.
     
    Then I should be able to cut 24 brownies from the 8x8 pan that will be approx. the same potency as the cookies.
     
    Does this sound correct to you math inclined bakers out there?
     
    What size would you cut the brownies to get 24 reasonably square brownies from an 8x8 pan? 6 rows x 4 rows? 5 x 5 and have one extra?
     
    My brain is starting to short circuit. FFZZZT!  Pooof! Confused...
     
    Thanks a TON in advance for your help.  Medicate for health and pleasure.
     
    Peace.

    Yeah you'd need 24 brownies. I'd go with 5x5, the potency difference would be negligible. (Each brownie being 23/24 the potency of the cookies.)

    i would make a singlle dose, put it in coco or into capsules and take it. then see where it gets you. then you can do the math confidently.

    Cool!  Thanks for the confirmation.  
     
    It's was surprising to me how potent the coconut oil was.  
     
    I was getting about 3-3.5 grams of good clean BHO per ounce of trim so I would need to run about 3 oz to make a 36 250mg/each batch of cookies.
     
    Now I can make four, stronger, batches of cookies from 4 oz of trim.
     
    So if my math is correct I'm now using about 1/3 the amount of trim and getting better results.  That pretty significant.  
     
    Fire up the oven cause the cookies and brownies and Reeses Desert Bars are going out to patients at a brisk pace.  I'm going to make infused Tootsie Rolls also now.  
     
    Now the Medibles will be free to the ill and the better returns from the recreational crew will even out the accounting.  Nice.  Very nice.
     
    Gotta love coconut oil!  And much less  damn butane is a great thing!.   
     
    One other interesting thing I want to share is this: Some buddies have taken up making Rosen from "squeezing" buds.  It's a very clean and potent medicine.  
     
    I decided to see if there was anything useful left in the squeezed "pucks" so I took 75g of Pucks ground into powder and blasted it with 600g of tane and to my pleasant surprised yielded 7.5g of great shatter. Another 10% extraction yeild.  My trim must be very high quality to get these results.
     
    Medicate for Health and Pleasure!

    Good idea for gauging the coconut oil potency.  Thanks!

    Personally I would dilute the oil 50% and make 2 trays of 12 each. An 8x8 pan cut in 25ths is tiny brownies, and my experience with human nature is, if the edibles aren't filling, people reach for seconds, eat too much and get wrecked.

    i also make them kind of OVERLY sweet if you know what i mean. just enough so that most people can finish a brownie or cookie and think "damn, i need to chill for a bit before i have another of those bastards". by the time they are thinking of round two, round one is kicking in and kicking ass. 
     
    i think the perfect dose is edibles that are small enough to eat in 4 bites and 2 whole edibles is enough to completely wreck an average person and 3 will do the same for larger peeps. i think brownies work the best too. as far as masking the flavor and tastiness is concerned.
