Decarbed LONG & HOT

You're just gonna have to try it, mate. It may well be junk, but then it may not. What were you gonna make with two ounces?

 

Yes add it, or whatever ashes are left, to your compost pile. 2oz's ouch!

 

trash can i did the same once now i just use a coffee grinder turn the bud into powder put 1 oz in 2 cups of canola oil and slow boil it all day and this last batch of brownies were the strongest i ever made i also use muffin tins for my brownies and 2 boxes of great value fudge brownies makes 24 brownies using all the oil i have it down pat now no need to decarb first imo if you grind it to powder

 

240 for 40 min. A little research will help avoid mistakes. Live and learn.

 

That was the first way i ever decarbed in oil, In a little crock pot. did you do the little bubble check?
It was the strongest i recall.

 

can you post your recipes sometime, say next time you make a batch with pics?

cheers

 

i am making a batch tonight the oil is on the stove now The electric coffee grinder i think is the key it turns the bud into kief i use tin foil first in the oven but only at 350 for 3 or 4 minutes then into the jar with oil

 

not to be a nudge or anything but bud is bud & kief is kief, you can't turn 1 into the other. the coffee (grinder) just grinds very finely & fast. Decarbing is a simple reaction that takes heat & time. there is no magic, it's following a recipe just like cooking food. How long before U feel the effects with oil. I'm more a fan of alcohol tincture cuz of it's faster effects..

 

i didnt mean it was actually kief but the appearance and texture was keiflike is what i should have said

 

yes the oil can be dangerous because it takes at least an hour to feel and people get impatient and eat more then regret the bad trip i always have a neighbor eat one first then check on them in 2 hours and just look at their eyes lol

 

i use the stovetop double boiler method but i turn it on and off all day long instead of straight boiling

 

This is 20 grams of bud and 1 cup of canola oil

 

Sweet, I've not used canola oil yet but plan on some coconut oil soon. I often make little batches of butter to throw into recipes. 1-2g simmered in real butter till it turns brown. Strain and squeeze off the waste. Sometimes when I want a quick buzz I throw a spoonful down the hatch and chase it with chocolate and coffee. Yuck..I know but the buzz hits faster and is oh so trippy at times.
If you find chop the weed or just crumble it all works the same.

 

It's cool. If you use a "trim bin" type product the kief falls thru the screen while trimming & collects separately. That kief can get over everything & make a real sticky mess. After you decarb it (the bud) crumbles up very fine with gloved hands. Ever try making tinc/edibles with kief? There's a whole lot less straining & chlorophyll.

 

A thermometer is handy when double boiling, I go low & slow, with almost everything nowadays.

 

Not really.
Decarboxylation in organic chemistry is an example of a 1,2 elimination reaction. The mechanism of reaction is a concerted one with a cyclic transition state. It begins with the breaking of a carbon-to-carbon single bond (C-C). At the same time, carbon-to-oxygen double bonds (C=O) and a hydroxyl group (OH) are formed.

 

Coconut oil is the only oil that allows for a much faster onset time, due to the fact that the MCT's (medium chain triglycerides) found in coconut oil are sent directly to the liver (along with anything they are carrying). So onset with infused coconut oil hits in 30-45 min typically, instead of 1-2 hours.

 

Yeah, if ya can stomach a spoonful of green butter I'd does the same versus eating a baked good. But yeah I can see why coconut oil is better. Usually I drink a nice half glass of whole milke with a edible for the fat content.

Man once I get some leaf, trim, and larf piled up I'll be doing coconut and butter. So does the coconut taste better? The butter will check your gag reflex..lol.
