So I just wanted to show my process of how I infuse my coconut oil. I am infusing to make some red velvet cookies and some MCT oil. First off, I weighed about 31 g of trim and put it in my preheated oven at 240 for 40 minutes.
After the 40 minutes is up I take it out the oven and let it cool off for about 15 minutes before I remove the foil lid. Then I throw it on a scale again to see what I’m working With.
So now I’m at 26 g, so I am making MCT coconut oil and refined coconut oil for the cookies. So I take my two mason jars and put 13 g in each one and then pour a half a cup of MCT oil over one jar and put a half of cup of the refined in the microwave for a few seconds to liquefy it and I dump that over the other jar. I put the lids on shaking a little bit and fill my crock pot up a little more than halfway. I put a rag at the bottom of the crock pot so the mason jars won’t break on the bottom.
So I turned the Crock-Pot on high with the jars in there for 1 hour and I will go give the jars a shake every now and then. After that first hour I dropped the Crock-Pot down to low for another 3 hours. Now after my first 4 hours are done with I turned the Crock-Pot off for 8 hours and repeat the process. Now I take two clean mason jars and put a strainer on top with a cheesecloth on top of the strainer and pour the oil in, I squeeze the excess out of the cheesecloth at the end. And that is it. I’m not the best at explaining things but I hope I didn’t leave anything important out lol
It is still in the crock pot right now for the second 4 hours but it will be finished this evening and I will add what I do next which is to just fill little dropper bottles and make the cookies. Feel free to ask if anybody has any questions. Happy oilin y’all!
@Jayjay504 Be sure to have a temperature thermometer in your oven to not loose potency as they are not that accurate. Consider stirring in a teaspoon of lecithin into the MCT oil and coconut oil to make it more bioavailabile.
Thanks for the write up. I did one small batch of decarbing in my oven before, but it stunk up the whole house. Now I do it on my outside smoker. I go 220-225 for 60 minutes stirring once 1/2 way through. Obviously, no wood smoke chips or anything. Although, that could be an interesting experiment on its own… Then it’s 30 grams dry trim and 1 cup MCT oil at 180 degrees for 2 hours with stirring. Just got a machine for this so it stirs and heats on its own. Way easier for sure.
Here’s a question I have that maybe someone can help with. I infused some MCT oil a little while ago but the weed that I used was pretty low THC. I used that particular strain because I was experimenting and didn’t want to use or potentially ruin the good stuff that I had. Process totally worked, but again, low THC content so that batch of the MCT oil is not very strong. But I have like 24oz left of that bottle of MCT oil.
Can I re-infuse the low THC MCT oil that I have with my higher THC weed that’s now ready? Or do I just need to do a fresh batch and not putz around? Would it be cumulative for the THC numbers and strength? If my older pot was 10% THC, and that’s what I infused it at, 30 grams weed to 1 cup MCT oil, what happens if I take that 10% THC MCT oil and use it to infuse again, but using 30 grams of 20% THC weed this time? Does that now make it 30% or will it just max out at the 20%? Any thoughts?
@Budbrother well the cookies come out to really knock you on your ass you really only need a half of a regular size cookie. I ate one and a half the first time I made them and I regretted it and I have a real high tolerance. That s*** had my world spinning like I drink too much liquor. The MCT oil comes out good but I don’t think it’s near as strong as the cookies. I do about five whole dropper fulls of the MCT but I really don’t feel much from it but everybody that I give it to says it is fire
Yes you can do that, they say there is only so much the oil will hold but yeah I was going to try to do this as well. It should definitely make it stronger until you hit that cut off level
Honestly that just gave the initial come up and then dissipated. The dabs were for tuneups. On a 1-10 scale I was maybe a 2. The more pain I experienced the more I can smoke and still not feel much.
