Oil infusion ratio

It all depends on how much oil you want to consume. I'm trying to loose not gain weight so I keep the oil to a minimum. You really don't need more oil then enough to wet the material.

Decarb first everything you intend to eat or drink. 240 F for 40 minutes uncovered.

5 grams Kief, Hash, Concentrate, Powdered buds
2.5 teaspoons Coconut oil (any cooking oil works)
1/2 teaspoon Lecithin (strength enhancer)
Heat 220 F for 20 minutes
Freeze (optional helps smooth the mouth feel)
Heat 220 F for 20 minutes (Omit if you skipped the freeze)
Done

Fills 30 (0) capsules @ 80mg each with concentrate
25mg with good bud.






Made with dry ice Kief this stuff is very potent to the point a single drop of this is to much for my wife.

Who is they? This is simply a question of the desired potency of your final infusion. I personally employ a 1 ounce:1 cup ratio for my edibles, flower to fat. In your original post above, that would mean that I would be using 2 ounces of flower for 1 pound of butter, as each stick of butter is 1/2 cup and there's 4 sticks in a pound.

If you want to venture further down the rabbit hole of getting an idea of how much your ratio should be, we can talk about 'dosing'. And as a disclaimer, I use the term 'dosing' very lightly, because unless you're getting your flower lab tested, the actual chemical composition is unknown.

But I digress, here's some VERY ROUGH, yet simple, math you can employ when calculating your dosage.
For the sake of easy math, let's just say we have some below average flower with a THC concentration of 10%, and we'll use the numbers in your OP.

1 gram of flower = 1000 milligrams
10% of 1 gram = 100 milligrams of THC
1 ounce of flower = 2800 milligrams of THC
2800 milligrams into 1 lb. (2 cups) of butter = 1400 milligrams per cup

So say you were making a batch of brownies which called for half a cup of butter.

1400 milligrams per cup/2 = 700 milligrams per cup.

And if you cut that pan of brownies into 24.

700/24 = 29.1666666667, or roughly 30 milligrams a dose.

I repeat, this math is not meant to be definitive, but it can provide a very rough starting point where to begin with your infusions. You can then titrate the levels accordingly on subsequent runs to adjust to your tolerance/preferences.

Hope this helps,
