i’m using 7 grams of apothecary farms ambrosia 70.7%, cooking temps i try not to exceed 180 degrees Fahrenheit during mixing as thats what i’ve come across mostly, i use a normal stovetop and stir as much as possible sorry i’m trying to be as open as possible lol
fuck I would be better off decarbing flower in the oil im making edibles with at home wouldn’t I? I have graduated to home hobbiest so i lack fancy toys these days
so…you’re not even done cooking the low boiling terpenes off at that point…not an ideal starting mix. unless you want to Decarb under pressure to retain terps?
at 180K you’ll not get decarb without a catalyst
at 180F you’ll need on the order of an hr once you’ve boiled of the terpenes and come to temp. Diamonds seem to take extra heat to decarb. so you might be at or over 2hrs.
last time I decarbed 10g of oil at 100C it took almost 5hrs for the bubbles to quit. Dosage was spot on. my best guess is there was water in that extract. in your case it’s terpenes.
I can’t believe your using diamond/sauce for cooking lolo. Here its 80 euros a gram …
If i were in your shoes i would probably dissolve it all in ethanol, evaporate the ethanol, decarb the oil, then use it.
Are gummies made from glycerin ?
right, but dissolving in ethanol then purging the ethanol achieves what?
might lose some terpenes. may end up with residual ethanol instead.
dissolving rosin in ethanol, freezing, then filtering (winterizing) to get rid of fats would make sense (except for the whole solvent less thing), but just dissolving then evaporating does not strike me as productive.
i really would like to aim for 50mg a cube if possible they’re 4ml squares in the mold i should also note i plan on using distillate in the future as that seems to be what everyone uses. i see so many different ways to estimate potency i have no clue which to believe (hints why im posting on here lol)
I was only thinking for homogenising the sauce and the diamonds. I really have no experience of it.
Now thinking about it the same can be achieved by just putting it in the oven without dissolving.
solid move. distillate is already decarbed, and will usually impart less taste. you also use less of it as it is more concentrated. it should also be less expensive that single strain top shelf concentrates. it’s not a necessity. you could also make your own ethanol extracts from flower/trim/hash.
