First cannacoconut oil

If my memory serves me right, 1/3 cup of oil is enough for 1 batch of brownie (8x8 or 9x9 tray i forget) but i would cut it up into 9 pieces. So assuming 1/3 cup oil is 9 brownies, 9gs for 1/3 cup oil is 1g abv per brownie. It really depends on how potent you want to make your edibles. I would always use 1 oz of shake for 27 brownies, and they came out pretty potent.

Enough to cover the ABV in the jar or whatever you are soaking it in. I am currently doing some with a half O of ABV and it took about 7-8 oz of oil to cover that so it'll take more than that for an O. You could do like me and use a half O then strain a day or so later and add the other half and let it soak. That way you use less oil and if you desire can use some out of the first as a less potent product. That's my plan anyway. Good luck!

I used 1/2 Oz of ABV with 1.5 tablespoons of lecithin and a half cup coconut oil. I ran the vape through a 220 degree decarb in a pie dish because there was some raw stems that had been tossed in.

The ABV, Lecithin, and coconut oil were put in a Mason jar and then kept in a 200 degree water bath for approximately 24 hours. Afterwards I let the jar cool down some and then placed the jarred oil in the freezer.

I ground my material up into a powder, I am unsure whether or not I'll bother to strain it. I hate to miss anything the material might contain.

Unfortunately I won't be able to take it for a ride until Thursday at the earliest.

I was thinking I'd just add it to a milkshake for its Maiden voyage. Can anyone recommend a dose? I know it's very subjective, but I'm not sure how many tablespoons to start with.

Reporting back on my attempt to add more ABV to oil that had already had a half O in it. It definitely works. I did a half O, strained, did another half O, strained, then a 1/4 and strained and then finally another 1/4 and strained. 24 hour soak in the crockpot in a jar in between each. Every time I made some gelcaps with each strength. And the last of it will be used as topical. Each run varies in color of capsules as well as strength. My wife is a lightweight and one of the first strength is enough for a great nights sleep. I have a mega tolerance and two of the strongest knocked me out to the point of stumbling when I got up during the night to go to the bathroom. It was almost too much.
This is going to be my new way of making these. This way lets you use less oil and get varying strengths. This will probably work well for people that like to cook with it too. Varying strengths for different recipes. Good luck all!

Last night was the first time I got to try my oil. My girlfriend and I both had the night off, so I mixed 1/4 cup abv oil with 1/4 cup peanut butter, I cup milk, some chocolate syrup, chocolate ice cream, and a little Nutella, this went into two milkshakes.

Within 90 minutes I was feeling mighty decent. My girlfriend was also doing quite well.

I was expecting more of a couch-lock. That came, just later than I expected.

My girlfriend said today that she doesn't remember a fair amount of the evening. She thinks perhaps cutting the oil down to 1/8th or 1/16 cup would be better.

I would perhaps try 1/8th cup, but I'm not sure if 1/16th cup will take me where I want .

I really now wish I knew more people that vaped... This oil was totally worthwhile.

I'm saving towards an ounce of ABV also, (almost there!) and I'll be putting a healthy amount of coconut oil.. Enough to cover the abv completely, and a bit extra. I'll be feeling confident about that too, because if I put 'too much' it's still a miracle oil that you can NOT have enough of! I used to drink a cup of it per day and cook with it but not so much these days..
Bloody amazing oil, and I am happy for you that you got to enhance it's awesomeness even more by making it highly potent with THC :)

My girlfriend has sworn off the oil for the time being. She wants the rest to go into brownies, though I dunno that 1/4 cup of the oil will really make for brownies that are adequately dosed.

I do have another 1/2 oz of abv that I can make more oil with. I think that the ratio that I used worked pretty darn well, but she could have probably stood to have a little less. I guess that's the balancing act with oils, to find out where your tolerance is going to lie.

What I most looked forward to the oil for is to use it as a sleep aid. I still have high hopes that it'll function well in that regard. Unfortunately when I eat after medicating I tend to get real bad heartburn and reflux, which kept me from nodding off.

I'm wondering what would be an appropriate amount of oil to use for a batch of brownies if the goal is to make one brownie get me medicated.

It seems that the 1/4 cup of oil you have has around 7gs abv (since 14 made 1/2 cup and you used half) so that should be potent enough, however just follow a recipe on the box for the amount of oil to use (I believe is 1/3 cup for a tray). So if it is 1/3 and you have 1/4 you just add more oil (it can be abv oil or just normal). Assuming you just use the original 1/4 cup of abv oil, that is 7gs in a tray of brownies. Cut pieces as big/small as you want (cut into 7 pieces if you want 1g abv in a brownie). Based on what you said earlier, if you made your milkshake with 1/4 cup and drank it all, you drank 7gs abv in a shake... If I had to guess, it was way to strong for your gf.

Hmmm, so 1/4 cup is 7 grams, that means that 3.5 grams of abv took her way too deep in the rabbit hole.

Hmmm, you have got me thinking about how many grams I'd like to have per brownie. I will have to check out the box and determine from there I suppose.

Thanks for helping break that down a bit. I dunno why that sorta thing just doesn't click with me.

Whenever I made them, I would make each brownie contain 1g of Shake (not abv) and those were potent, but not excessive. I would start low, maybe try between 1-2gs abv per brownie and work your way up (or down).

Hmmm, so 1/4 cup is 7 grams

Not exactly, in your case it is, but it can be as potent as you want.

Help me. I just completely ground up all my AVB. I have the crock pot and the oil

I only have 4 oz. around 1/2 cup

Should I add any fresh. I don't know what I am doing

I can't do anything else for a while. I'm the fc member that throat surgery
And right now I can barely speak
Do I have enough AVB. How much oil (I bought coconut) do I use

I will make this I'm my basement

Yeah mom's in the basement cooking up the medicine

Can anyone give me a shout out hear. It seems like a had a full 1/2 a cup before I started grinding it

Don't be afraid to use too much, and don't use too little! I've heard that just enough to COVER the ABV is good, plus a bit extra. You can't use too much though..

You want to create a double boiler type of situation. Put water in the crock pot, put the ABV in a jar sitting on something that keeps it up off the bottom of the crockpot. I use a silicone trivet. You want just enough water that the jar doesn't float once you put the ABV and cover it with melted coconut oil. I use just enough oil to cover the ABV. Simmer it on low for 24 hours and then strain the oil into another jar or whatever you want to store it in and then pop it in the fridge. When it hardens it should turn a nice shade of avocado green. It looks like sludge when you first strain it so don't get discouraged. It's wonderful stuff. It works wonders for me as as a sleep aid.

Yes, and SIMMIER it for 4 hours. Very low temp but enough to visibly see it cooking
Ok bro. I did it. It's cooking downstairs. I started at 7. How long do I give it? And how long can I keep it for? How long will the oil stay good for.

You know I'm an awesome cook. What's the worse thatcan

ok so I don't have water in the crock pot. And it's too late to put it all in a jar

So I just fucked on 2 items. I can add water now. I was going to let it go until about 1am. But I should let it cool for a while. Can I just let it slowly cook till late and then deal with it when it get up in the am?

I don't plan on even using it for a while. My throat is simply to weak and not healing properly to risk anything

Please tell me alltorup did I just ruin the whole thing. I used all the AVB I had and it was a first attempt. But if it works I was thinking about trying it out for Halloween ( as my own personal treat) and head into NYC to see funny stuff. I can't even believe i did it

I'm really a good cook - just not with this

It should just last for a long long time, not sure exactly though. Give it a few hours, i've heard 4 hours been mentioned a bit at a LOW heat. enough to get your oil nice and green?

Ok it looks pretty brown to me. It looks live the AVB is getting absorb. I'm letting it go until at least 1am. Then I will try to stay up and let it cool before straining it. I have strainer cheese cloth coffee filter and mason jar all ready.

I just have been so bored and down since this surgery and I finally got up the courage to this so I just said ok I'm doing it right now before I don't do it all. It's just fucking AVB and oil; I don't know what I am getting so nuts about.

I made a wicked penne alla vodka w grilled chicken this week. I should be able to do this with my eyes closed. And I see there are lots of ways to do this.

I can't talk; I certainly can't get high; I'm starting a grueling exercise regiment (learned it today; a trainer took pity on my soul and taught it to me). I just thought if I could do this and then eat some om Halloween it might be fun to go in the city and see the sites. I did buy tickets to see The Who at the Barclays Center in May so that should be fun!!!

I've lost a lot of confidence in the last year. But I am getting a rocking recycler from doughboy soon (he and poopmachine did me such a solid) so maybe that will help

I love this site; everyone is so great and calm and nice and helpful. And you are one of them déjà vu so hang in there with me and I might just make this work

IIt's alright man, im just relaying info that i've heard. I am yet to try an ABV cannaoil myself. I have a decent amount saved up and am just waiting for the opportune moment :) I've got a bulk order of coconut oil on the way which will be great! Hope your mixture is potent :)

@LongIslandmom : I used decarbed ground bud for mine but the basics are the same. Crockpot on low 4 hrs. ( i do not use a water bath) I then let mine sit in crock all night and strained it in the morning. With the residual plant material i made a killer pasta sauce that kicked my ass to the other side of the room ;) dont throw anything away - it can ALL be eaten!

Next butter batch, i am going to try to use my bud for 2 batches of cococannabutter. Good luck!

Ok so I'm even past 4 hours. And I can strain in the am. I feel better now

If this works I will use fresh next time. It doesn't do anything to it if you just let it see and wait till you strain. Thanks so much for the advice.

... But if it works I was thinking about trying it out for Halloween ( as my own personal treat) and head into NYC to see funny stuff. ...

I probably would not try homemade edibles for the first time while doing a trip into NYC as it might turn into a bad trip. Edibles can kick you in the arse, so to speak, and be an almost psychedelic and overwhelming experience.
Maybe a nearby park/outdoor/mellow environment wold be a better experiment. Edibles are tough to gauge the proper dosage and how they will effect you. Just my opinion........
CO now warns users:
1. start small
2. wait 2 hours to gauge effect, it takes 2 hours to take effect
3. don't mix with alcohol and other drugs

@LongIslandmom sorry I'm just now seeing the board.

I hope your oil turns out well for you , it sounds like it may be much stronger than what I made if you used 4 oz abv. You can always dilute it if you find it too strong.

I'm really interested in how this works for you.

I was worried about what temps I'd be able to maintain in a crockpot so I elected for my trusty Anova Sous Vide cooker. It's very nice and you can use all sorts of different vessels to cook in. When I made my oil I cooked it inside a mason jar and into a bucket that was serving as my sous vide vessel. I had to use a heavy standing cheese grater to weigh the jar down so it wouldn't float, and then cooked the oil at 200 degrees for 24 hours.

I also put a wire ball (from a bottle blender) inside the jar so I could shake it around and agitate it every so often.

I never did strain my oil, I figured whatever I make with it wouldn't be too bothered by the ground up abv powder. Next time I might strain, but I didn't find it necessary.

I am really eager to hear what you end up making. Please share your experience and any recipes you formulate along the way.

Given your recent throat surgery, I would do a milkshake for a maiden voyage if I were you. Most people report onset of effects within an hour from what I've seen.

Did you measure your abv before grinding it? I weighed my abv out but did not bother with checking it's measurement by volume.

Also, if you do not have any I would recommend picking up some lecithin, which seems to make the oil stronger according to quite a few experiences I've read. You can buy soy or sunflower lecithin fairly cheap and it will last you a good long while.
