Kief? Shelflife?

Discussion in 'Weed Edibles' started by Ehren, Oct 6, 2023.

    Does kief degrade over time? I use it to make edibles, and a friend says he isn’t feeling my latest batch. I used some decarboxylated kief that is about 7 months old?

    Better to decarb right before using. Yes, kief degrades over time, oxidation converts the THC to CBN. Even if stored ideally, time WILL degrade the product.

    I like to freeze mine, keep it dry as possible can last over a year or two

    The degradation rate is the same as buds 10 to 15% per year according to the web and what I've always been told. However, take it all with a grain of salt until you test it yourself. I've got dry ice Kief over a year old and Capsules made from the same over 3 years old with no change and damn sure no drop in strength.
    If you get stoned smoking it you'll get cranked as edibles.
    Add 20% lecithin to dial up the strength.
    Decarb 240 F for 40 minutes
    5 grams decarbed Hash-Kief
    1 tablespoon Coconut oil
    1 teaspoon liquid lecithin
    Heat 220 F for 20 minutes. Fills 30 #0 Capsules at 65mg.

    Thanks but this kief was already decarboxylated 7 months ago. I have a similar recipe but I use the same decarb method you do. Use 12.75 grams of kief infuse into coconut oil at 230 for 2-2.5 hours. Strain the oil, pour into pan mix some mold inhibitor and sunflower lecithin and whisk at low-medium heat until combined and add a whole packet of Knox plain gelatin and 2 packets of Starburst gelatin. Fits exactly into my 2 molds of 252 gummies. I used to use grinded up weed but it’s difficult to get the mg high enough

    Decarbed has the same shelf life as raw buds in the jar. I've got decarbed Kief I use for mini shooters with a eyedropper or 2 of 190 proof for when I'd like a pick-me-up but can't fire the pipe. Since I don't use it all that frequently that jar is getting quite old but still hasn't lost any of its authority.
