How long do you really need to infuse coconut oil? I have seen from 45 minutes to 8 hours. I was planning on 2-3 hours (it's abv). Any thoughts?
Coconut oil.. Really how long.

The Magical Butter Machine does it in an hour. Ive done several batches.. it usually turns out well.

An hour to an hour and a half on a simmer should do... ABV brownies aren't nearly as good as normal brownies though...

The short answer is "yes."
You can put the ABV in your mouth and eat it as-is (0 hours cooking time) and have an effect.
You can cook it in the oil for an arbitrary number of minutes, hours, or days and it will also have an effect.
It is all about finding the cooking time that gives the effect YOU want. Generally speaking, longer cooking will produce a more narcotic and soporific effect. Since ABV is already decarbed and quite mellow as-is, most people don't subject ABV to an additional long cooking time.
What do I do you might ask? I add the powdered ABV directly to the brownie mix and bake according to the package directions (usually 20-30 minutes).

No Frownie Brownie
Ingredients:
10 grams *shake flour
7 ounces dark chocolate
8 ounces butter (chopped/cubed) you can use coconut oil
1.75 cups brown sugar
4 eggs
1/3 cup cocoa
1 cup flour (sifted)
1/4 tsp b. powder
1/4 cup dark coffee (finely ground)
Directions:
1. Pre-heat oven to 320 F
2. In sauce pan slowly melt shake flour and butter on low heat for 10 minutes
3. Put the chocolate in the sauce pan and turn off heat stirring constantly till melted
4. In a separate bowl combine sugar, eggs, cocoa, flour, b. powder, and coffee
5. Add slightly cooled chocolate mixture and mix all ingredients together thoroughly
6. Lightly flour base of 9 inch pan and line with parchment paper
7. Pour dough into pan and bake for 30 minutes.
These are awesome brownies and one of the few edibles that hit me like a brick. They taste really good too. The shake flower is cannabis that's finely ground and decarbed or use ABV. You can use coconut oil instead of butter.

Is abv fully decarbed? Just curious since decarb techs usually have you leave herbs under heat for longer periods of time..
and if I got outta supply of fresh coconut oil then instant

I was hoping to make the coconut oil into capsules but now that it's warm outside the coco oil will melt in the capsules if I take them outside for too long. I'm worried they'll leak.
Any thoughts on whether capsules leak - I have no experience - or what I can do to the oil to keep it solid at slightly warmer temperatures.
Thanks for your advice.

I am sure you can go 45 minutes and get a perfectly good oil. In the culinary world, you can definitely infuse a lot of flavor into oil with a crushed clove of garlic in about three minutes. So I have to think you get quite a bit of transfer from ABV in coconut oil in just a few minutes. And there are probably diminishing benefits as you increase the time.
But going longer will give you the maximum extraction assuming the temp is not too high. As with cooking, if this were fresh, free, tasty bud instead of ABV then maybe I could see doing something quick to preserve flavor at the expense of strength, and it would probably be great. Ive seen people making butter say to never squeeze-strain it because it gives off harsh flavors. But for ABV there's really no downside to cooking for the maximum amount of time....provided the heat is low enough so you dont degrade the THC. I will do 8 hours or even overnight at 180-190F. I probably wouldnt want to cook it that long at 230F, though. And by all means, squeeze out every last drop of that oil when its done. Especially with capsules, with ABV I think you are going for the maximum extraction / concentration. If its too strong you can use smaller (more) capsules or dilute it with something tasty.
I also think there is a benefit of doing a second decarb... there was a recent study where they looked at ABV after it had been vaped 30x, and 1/3 of the THC left was still in THCA form.
