WIth the oven empty I laid out another 30 grams for decarb
Out of the freezer and into the fire
And GO
And
1 down and a finger lick to stone on
Dishes empty and we get another set underway.
60 grams across 4 dishes at 90 each gave me 360 for the day if my much-dosed brain has any functionality left. 4 dish finger wipe licks on top of the 2 breakfast capsules has me rocking it hard still.

Looking good. Hey I did my runs a couple weeks ago and was doing extraction runs for 3 minutes and got about close to a full jar per quart! Switched to a new screen midway through. Good to extract as much as possible and after 3 minutes there wasn't too much contaminant for my needs. Watch the speed, just need to have a moderate shake speed.
May be dosing my 15 lb dachund soon since she's getting older. Not sure how though. One drop diluted by 3 i guess

That may still be too strong. 3 drops of new oil to 1 drop of Hash oil was what I used for a 70-pound dog.
Alright thanks, will have to dilute to around maybe 1/10 drop. I guess I will have to make capsules for the dog so its homoginized well and is the correct dose. Want a little sediment in each one to make it right.
Discovered it seemed to help to take 0.25 mL CBD hemp oil extract along with the capsules to help smooth out the effects. Its kind of a moving target, sometimes you need more sometimes less. Depends on your activity, metabolism, symptoms that need controlled, and amount being consumed by smoking. I like smoking more in the morning and then take the capsule around lunch and in the evening. Some days I take 3 capsules, some days just 1. The smoking seems to be necessary though for instant relief from evening psoriasis itching, but the capsules are part of the therapy.

Absolutely loving having these around! Thanks again so much for posting this here and keeping up with it.
Just out of curiosity, what is the purpose of the second heating after the freeze?
This is the only “edible” recipe I’ve used that calls for that. Usually it’s just one heat cycle and a freeze before use.
Also, funny thing I’ve been cranking these out for a couple months now and never get as many capsules filled per run as you do. Then I realized my setup (that I stole from the wife) is a 00 cap setup. I’m Assuming you’re running an 0 capsule?

Yeah brassnwood uses a smaller capsule, the size 0, but the original recipe where he found it called for size 00 which is around 0.9 mL per capsule.
The second heating completes the infusion/liposomal encapsulation process. We just divide the 35-40 minute cooking time into 2 to allow a freeze in the middle. Must work best that way to homoginize it they said.
Glad you like them, I found them to be exactly what I need for treatment. Its different than smoking and better in some ways. Would like to try making CBD hemp kief coconut oil capsules.

That makes sense,
I absolutely love these things. Cut my smoking to only at a few social events very few and far between, I just eat these and rip a dab every now and again. My chest feels a ton better and these things hit nicely for an extended period of time.
The 2nd heat is really just to liquify the dish again and can be shortened as desired.
The thing I really like about the brass caps is the different personalities really shine through if you keep strains separated. I don’t get that with standard edibles, they either feel generally heady or body to me or just sleeeeeeeeeeep. With the caps I can really dial in what I want to feel based on the strain it’s made with.
Just made some with 6-8 month cured ACE Super Congo and they’re like extremely smooth caffeine with no jitters or any negative effect. Extremely clear headed and happy feeling, but not silly and super motivating.

Thats great, I thought I noticed a little difference. Glad I didn't make any with the Gary Payton flower I bought. It has amnesia haze in it!
These have been very helpful and therapeutic. I take one in the morning and one in the evening most days. Sometimes I only take 1 or take a break, mainly in the winter if I feel like its building up in my system.

Bad Kat's recommendations for tolerance buildup is try to work up to 3 capsules a day so the patient can get therapy throughout the day. Some days I take 3 capsules and its not an overload, just space them out around 6 hour intervals. Some puffs of smoke here and there can help modify the effect.
The capsules actually have a decent sublingual activity. Then wash down with water. Very helpful form of cannabis. The flavor is unmatched, very unique!

Leafy recommends decarboxylation at 220F for 30-40 for flower. I smelled it may have been a little hot, so trying it at a little cooler temp for last 20 minutes. Smells sweeter now, I think 220 may be better to preserve terpenes and potentcy as long as it fully decarboxylates. Would be good to use an oven thermometer to find out for sure what temperature it is because it may fluctuate depending on the oven.

Compared to smoking and vaping, decarboxylation for edibles is done at a lower temperature for a longer period of time to keep cannabinoids and terpenes intact when infused. Terpenes are volatile and will evaporate at high temperatures, potentially leaving undesirable flavors and aromas behind.
Heating cannabis in an oven above 300ºF will burn off valuable cannabinoids and terpenes, and the flower will not get you high when infused with butter, oil, or anything else.
When decarboxylating cannabis in an oven, it’s important to remember that the temperature dial on an oven is more of an average temperature than an exact one.
Ovens can fluctuate by 20 degrees, so keep an eye on the cannabis. If it turns brown too quickly or smells like it’s burning, turn down the oven. Invest in an oven thermometer if you plan on cooking with cannabis regularly.
Decarboxylation guide: How to properly decarb weed
What is decarboxylation and why is it so important? Explore how to decarb weed the right way to properly activate cannabis, using an oven or microwave.

Directions
- Set the oven temperature to 220ºF, with the oven rack in the middle position. Ovens are hotter at the top and cooler at the bottom, so heating in the middle will ensure ideal decarboxylation temperature.
- Line the baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil, and lightly break up or grind the cannabis onto it, but not too fine, to avoid burning.
- Heat for 30-40 minutes, stirring at least once.
- Let cool for 30 minutes at room temperature. The cannabis should look lightly toasted and golden brown.
- When cool enough to handle, add the decarboxylated cannabis to butter, oil, or another base for an infusion, or carefully put it in a storage container for future use.
At what temperature does decarboxylation occur?
Weed decarboxylation occurs between 200-245ºF. When making edibles, we recommend heating buds at 220ºF for 30-40 minutes.Compared to smoking and vaping, decarboxylation for edibles is done at a lower temperature for a longer period of time to keep cannabinoids and terpenes intact when infused. Terpenes are volatile and will evaporate at high temperatures, potentially leaving undesirable flavors and aromas behind.
Heating cannabis in an oven above 300ºF will burn off valuable cannabinoids and terpenes, and the flower will not get you high when infused with butter, oil, or anything else.
Decarboxylation temperature chart
According to a 2016 study, this chart shows how quickly THCA breaks down into THC, and CBDA into CBD, at different temperatures.| Acid/Cannabinoid | Temperature (ºF) | Temperature (ºC) | Time (in minutes) |
| THCA/THC | 230ºF | 110ºC | 30 |
| 265ºF | 130ºC | 9 | |
| CBDA/CBD | 230ºF | 110ºC | 45 |
| 265ºF | 130ºC | 20 |
What happens if you decarboxylate too long?
Heating weed for too long, or at too high of a temperature, can burn off cannabinoids and terpenes, making your weed ineffective.Should weed be ground before or after decarbing?
We recommend grinding weed before you put it in the oven to decarb. This will increase the surface area and create an even consistency, ensuring all your weed decarbs at the same time.How to decarb weed in an oven
