The browning is pretty even and it doesn't seem like I need to pause mid way through the activation (decarb) process to stir + that would add even more warm up time to the process. I think I'm getting the hang of this Levo 2 machine, the results keep getting better and I think the trick is doing small batches like this. Once complete I open the lid on the Levo and let the heat vent for a few minutes and then pull out the pod and empty the flower back onto my paper plate. * warm up time makes the process take almost an hour I now decarb with the following settings: Once the pod is ready, the silicone magnet strip on the side of the pod snaps right in place into the side of the Levo 2 heating pan. (I don't think any amount of packing helps so I don't pack it at all) The pod isn't even half full and hey, shook it around a bit and found a bonus seed! Need to sift my grinds better. Today we're gonna make some Fruity Pebble Rice Crispy Treats and some home made Spicy Peanut Brittle (2 3.5g batches roughly 700-800mg ea).įirst up is a small batch of Blueberry Indica testing in at 20.15% THC, in which I coarse grind my flower and sift through on a paper plate (de-stem, de-seed) and prep may working area. Using what I've learned above I thought I'd share a bit of the process I've developed as a result of this thread and all of your help. Ok, the capsules are great for dosing but we had some cooking ideas that need a less "green" flavor. This puts your Lecithin in the 1/6th range which is where I find it works best.Ī teaspoon of Lecithin in a full cup of oil won't do shit IME. Work in teaspoon and tablespoon amounts not cups and quarts. Coffee mug warmer = $11.00 at Bed, Bath, Beyond.Īll those silly machines want 1 or 2 CUPS of oil. No duds in this recipe.Ģ Stainless steel cat food dishes = $2.97 each at Petco I use Kief and have made thousands of them all exactly the same ass kicking strength. You don't need all that oil to infuse in fact it can act like a laxative and who want to be stoned and trapped on the crapper for hours. I think I got a better decarb this time around and I'm also going to cheese cloth the remaining mash this time too.ĥ grams decarbed powdered bud (dust) Or Hash or Kief or Wax or RosinĬoconut oil will take effect in half the time as Olive oil. Gonna play around as I'd like to get my oil a bit more concentrated. Definitely some potency loss as my bud was lab tested THCA at 24% and my calculated expectations even with 20% loss was roughly 5mg per gummy. I cooked with my first batch (14g to 1cup) and made some traditional Haribo sized gummies, eating about 15 or so did the trick which tells me they are likely 1-1.5mg ea. The second batch smell is not as toasted and the bud still has a greenish hue but mostly light brown vs amber/dark brown. Almost/maybe burnt, dark brown and a really foul smell. My first batch which used only a french press screen at the bottom of the bowl and my flower loosely thrown on top of it and the results are much different. (default settings 240f x 30min + warm up) I ran another 10g batch coarsely ground using the pod they provide (magnet sticks to side and it floats off the edge of the bowl, the magnet is also a spacer), and the flower is suspended inside the pod within the heating chamber bowl like a small insulated tea strainer stuck to a wall. I haven't tried this as it was suggested this might be wasteful.Īny advice is greatly appreciated thank you! 10g flower per 1 cup oil, then another 10g of flower same oil.repeat?Ī. is this a logical and economical way to create more concentred oils? i.e. I then used a small silicone spatula to drain the cooled heating chamber pan of wet flower into a cheese cloth bag and strained a decent amount, few tablespoons at least.Ħ) Does a second run improve potency? (previous oil, same herb batch or previous oil + new herb batch) i.e. I used a coffee filter over my dish when draining and only had a tiny amount of sediment, enough to wipe with your finger tip. I'd suggest fine grind only if you are filling capsules and not cooking.ĥ) After infusion process and draining is complete, is it suggested to cheese cloth the remaining bits of herb.Ī. Using the french press results in burnt flower.Ĥ) Which grind is suggested, no grind (tiny nugs), coarse grind or fine grind?Ī. I did not pack it, in fact I used a metal stir stick to make sure all 10g were loose.ģ) Should I use the pod it came with and not the french press screen? (saw a potency "hack" for infusion process)Ī. Not necessary, the flower in the pod is pretty even throughout. Not necessary, when using pod (not french press screen) the warm up process is much quicker.Ģ) Should I pause and stir the dry flower occasionally?Ī.
