Cleaning herb is suspiciously close to making bubble hash... Now I'm wondering if I should just bubble most everything, and then add bubble to butter or whatnot as required?
I eventually couldn't stand oil saturation and dosage limitations...
I take xx grams of shatter and decarb it in a ss container in a 250F veg oil bath (obviously stage the heat over 10 minutes or so). I do it when I am getting ready to make whatever recipe.
(EDIT: I make the shatter myself, so that's a big plus. For me, it's the best way to get from dry flowers to edibles with no weedy-ness)
This method lets me know almost spot on what amount of THC (and hence hopefully the other cannabinoid ratios) is in a recipe overall.
I simply *mix* in unsalted butter pat by pat into the ss container with warmed decarbed shatter - now an absolut earl - and slosh it all out in to the dry cookie mix (what I use).
Mix well with spatula and nitrile gloves and bang. I can now make XX cookies at XX dosage. (Less than 60mg for me is pointless)
I usually shoot for 1.2g decarbed shatter into 12 cookies. Hitting right around 100mg-ish in my estimation. (Caps I do the same but at a 30mg dose - no butter obviously - but start with shatter rather than making earrl directly from a mash and using that, I get a much purer product without a lot - if any - of the oil or cannabis taste itself beyond anything already significant in the terpene profile of the shatter).
Anyway just my thing, wanted to throw it out there.
Peace all!
