    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...

    Cannabinoids Bioavailability and food

    I'm sure decarbing and grinding to powder would take care of any concerns. I've never heard of anyone having a problem. I use buds not leaves anyway. AFAIK buds don't have "hairs" as you describe. Do you have a link or personal experience?

    Cannabinoids Bioavailability and food

    For bioavailability and oil plus lecithin work better than oil alone. No need for a lot of oil either. Our weed capsules don't have much at all. Mct and coconut oil work great for us. I don't even add oil in chocolate because of the fat in it already. For abv you might want to make a small...

    High potency edibles

    I find the same thing with hash, and rosin too. Rso, feco, or distillate seem the best taste wise. But with hash or rosin you also have more terpenes. Effects vrs taste. Or just use capsules. Personally I use feco for small 20mg chocolates or chocolate bars and capsules for almost everything else.

    Rosin from hashish

    Yes, you can make rosin from hash. A few of us have tried to use this rosin to fill carts, mostly unsuccessful. Including me. Good luck.

    High potency edibles

    Have you tried infused chocolate yet? We use feco, and dark chocolate to fill silicone molds. Most chocolates already have lecithin in it, so we just mix the feco in the melted chocolate and fill molds. No need for oils, other than the feco. We use weed capsules the most followed by chocolates.
