Aww, vape, that's sweet! Not a real chef by any means, just a mom and homemaker that has screwed up more times than i care to remember. I figure my goof ups can benefit somebody. the real telling is in the experience. the more times you see a properly baked cookie (or an all out fucked up one...

the pb seems to be the right way to go. since you aren't doing an extraction first, my guess is that the fat of the pb may do the extracting for you - in situ if you will. i don't do mixes, but i'm sure some of the mistakes i've made things i've learned about baking scratch cookies over the...

i live close to the water so i find that during the warm season, sometimes i need to dry it before grinding it fine for the MFLB. If i just leave it out it gets more damp instead of drying. wintertime, who knows? i just started vaping this summer, so we shall see. i have been known to chuck it...

those would last me YEARS....

That is really a great link, thank you for it. It even delves into the essential oil profiles - this is fascinating to me!

just took the pushback ring out of my lb last night. my original didn't have one, but the warranty replacement was the newer version. I'm leaving the pushback ring out for now, think i'll hold onto it for out and about though.

just an oven baked one this year at Mom & Dad's, though when it's at my house i brine it. yum. the deboning sounds like something i would like to try, but considering i can't even carve a cooked turkey properly, it may be a disaster waiting to happen :) sounds like a wonderful result though. i...

OC, I am anxiously awaiting word of your results! :popcorn: masbanji, in that case i would throw in the kif, but i wouldn't think it would require recooking, but again, i have no idea! you may want to split the batch in half and add kif to half with heat, the other without. I don't think...

Sounds awesome! i wish i had enough to do this! where do you find your nitrous cartridges for the cracker? I can't seem to find them locally anymore, haven't used the cracker in a few years, but it was so much easier than the kitchenaid.

masbanji, i understand from the op's posted link that as the tincture ages, it becomes more potent. you may want to stash it in a cool dark place for a few weeks before you go throwing more kif in there.

not sure about the fit issue, but mine makes a better seal when i have removed the oring and screen from the lid and then put the ring back and then the screen. the 2 o rings are spares. the other extras are two o rings and two air filters that go somewhere under the machine.

You have the right idea for testing. maybe see how long it takes the water outside the jar to reach a bare simmer vs a boil so you have a better idea of the strength of your burner. I certainly don't want anyone wasting herbs, so test away till you get a result you like. Just remember that the...

OC513, can't wait for that report. i think that alcohol will make for a more thorough extraction. NYC, If you do go with the jar in pot, make sure you know your stove really well. the only burner i am comfortable leaving on all night is the little one. any of the others the flame is too high...

not sure of the ratio but the general herbalism guideline is enough liquid to cover the herbs by 1/4 inch. you just want everything submerged. crockpot should give you no worries, they are designed to chug along safely for hours. i leave mine on overnight or when i have to leave the house...

i am TOTALLY doing this next time. I used to sprinkle shake in my bong bowl to make the 'harvest' a little less sticky. can't believe i haven't tried this yet! i use the stem because native is too hot for my taste.

ya know, i don't know if you cook the alcohol safely. looking more carefully at that link, people seem to be pretty satisfied with just plain glycerin. you may want to try that first. maybe the heating speeds up extraction and makes it more efficient. i really haven't the foggiest, i was just...

NYC, I recommend that you use a small amount of alcohol (10-15%) blended well in with the glycerin and use the resulting mixture to steep the herbs in. when i tincture, i use a half pint mason jar with a dome lid and ring, not a plastic storage cap because they leak. even a glass jelly jar would...

Thanks, NYC, there are a few of us here :) and we like to cook us up some abv :) and to clarify about the glycerin, here's some info from one of my herbals at post#7 http://www.fuckcombustion.com/viewtopic.php?id=2658

i use a bamboo skewer in the acrylic stem. harvests real nice with a tiny bit of iso or everclear to loosen it up. of course it trashes the stem after time with the alcohol, so i now use a stainless steel straw as my stem. then i can just chuck it in a lil bottle of everclear and shake it till...

my herbals recommend that glycerin is not as good at drawing out the (fat soluble) goodies so it is recommended that you add some alcohol to the mix to aid extraction. If you want an alcohol free tincture with maximum punch, i recommend that you do an alcohol tincture first, evap the alcohol...
