    Decarbing Ground Flower in Hot Oil

    I used to decarb something like what you proposed, it worked sometimes, but it was wildly inconsistent. The problem so I understand, is the oil insulates the canna oil so your oil temperature isn’t the canna oil temp, and if you decarb for a longer time to make sure your really decarbing, you...

    High potency edibles

    Are you using powdered or liquid lecithin? I’ve never had that problem using liquid lecithin.

    What Infuser/decarboxylation machine to buy 2023?

    Without testing it’s impossible to know exactly what I’m making. By experience I know a double decarb helps with sleep. Is it cbn? Idk. Now that you have a fx, experiment to find out what works for you. If you want an extra kick add concentrates. Sometimes I add decarbed hash, rosin or feco...

    What Infuser/decarboxylation machine to buy 2023?

    How about a couple cons first. The silicone sleeve, if you use it a lot, gets infused with resins Even after washing it in our dishwasher. It will seem ok, until it heats up again. The weed smell, and resins, get impregnated in the silicone. We generally just put buds in the main chamber but...

    What Infuser/decarboxylation machine to buy 2023?

    It took a while but eventually my fx started to smell a little. Nothing like when I decarbed in our oven tho, nothing close. The inside of the chamber that holds the herb is stainless steel and easy to clean with rubbing alcohol. Where most of the smell comes from is of course the cannabis...

    What Infuser/decarboxylation machine to buy 2023?

    Don't forget the main function is as a decarber, lol. And that it does well. I rarely make an infusion with it, although that is a popular use, we use feco for infusing, it's just easier and better tasting. Almost all our nova fx use is as a decarber. I decarb herb and hash/rosin for making...

    What Infuser/decarboxylation machine to buy 2023?

    I've been happy for several years now with our Ardent Nova fx. Ive decarbed pounds of mj in it as we dont smoke or vape. It doesn't do alcohol infusions though. To be honest alcohol infusions are very easy with a few kitchen items. No biggy imho.

    MCT Oil in Magical Butter Machine/Nebula Chef

    Your plan would work, but for it to be potent, I would divide the abv in two and use the same oil on each. And yes lecithin. And the bad news is the taste will pretty much suck, lol. Consider coconut oil, lecithin and put it in capsules. No taste in these.

    Can I use powdered milk in recipes with cannabis?

    Does your recipe have an oil or butter as an ingredient? If so just mix your cannabis oil with it and proceed as with a regular recipe.

    Can I use powdered milk in recipes with cannabis?

    Cannabis oil disolves best in another oil or butter. It may temporarily mix with liquid milk if you use an emulsifier like lecithin. Eventually it will separate though. Hopefully your items will be cooked and solidified before that. To mix with powdered milk I'd still use lecithin and...

    Post your decarb method here!

    Yes. Exactly how long and under what conditions is less clear. My guess is cannabis stored in ideal conditions would take longer to decarb.

    Post your decarb method here!

    It's generally accepted to decarb separate to get a consistent decarbing. Plus you reslly don't want to heat your honey very muchk because it will lose some of the benefits from eating it.

    Post your decarb method here!

    It's better to decarb the shatter first. The mct oil will insulate the canna oil making decarbing more iffy, and you don't wanna heat mct oil very warm. IIRC 300F is an upper limit. Mct is not a cooking oil, it won't take high heat, although it's a great oil for infusing. A mct oil infusion is...

    Temp at which decarb bubbles form

    To be clear, this is for decarbing cannabis oil ( not buds) in a oil bath with a controlled temperature. FWIW I decarb cannabis oil in a small container on a coffee warmer. Along with decarbing the oil, I'm also concerned with evaporating ethanol. If that wasn't a concern I'd just use my...

    Possible to Decarb THC in oven for conversion to CBN ?

    I don't decarb in the oven, I use a decarb machine. Without lab testing it's impossible to say with any accuracy what if any cbn's I make, but for sleep capsules I decarb twice in my machine. They seem to work, but is it cbn? IDK

    Temp at which decarb bubbles form

    I decarb dry except in making feco. I don't know any exact temp when making feco, but I'm sure it's a time and temperature deal. I finish on a coffee warmer at roughly 190-210°F. Sometimes it can take many hours because I'm also evaporating ethanol, and a little water. So I assume if your...

    Ovens that hold a consistent temp

    While we're on the subject I found it's kinda hard to over decarb. Although you can alter the effects. For sleep capsules I run indica buds through my Nova twice in the cbd mode. And sometimes the capsules made from the buds decarbed x2 can still be too racy for good sleep. BTW l find a mid...

    Ovens that hold a consistent temp

    Sounds like your a good candidate for a decarb machine. Not only do they decarb consistently they also help mitigate the smell, at least mine does. (Nova fx) Mine was expensive but now there are other more reasonable priced decarb machines.

    Cannabinoids Bioavailability and food

    Hell if I know, lol. We decarb dry. I usually set out buds for a few days to dry before decarbing dry. Then we mix decarbed, and ground to powder, buds with coconut oil and lecithin. And fill size 00 gel capsules. There isn't any soak or infusing period since we eat the buds...
