Haven't used that method. Normally I decarb before I make butter, so the butter part doesn't smell up the place.

Sounds like an interesting approach. Usually I make tinctures though. then add that to a recipe. I find it easier to dose it that way.

You decarb your herb first, then soak it in grain alcohol or at the very least 151 rum. The oils you want are hydrophobic and dissolve well in alcohol or oils.

The tincture can be very strong, like 100 mg/tablespoon strong, so be careful sampling it.

I’ll have to look next time I go in the liquor store and see if I can get 151

Though there was a run on it when hand sanitizer became scarce. What a waste of good ethanol.

A company that was selling plant oil tincture reclaim units (you put your tincture in, and it heats it under vacuum then condenses and saves the alcohol, leaving just oil) was also selling gallon and 5 gallon containers of lab grade ethanol (97%).

They could ship it anywhere since it wasn't considered liquor. Funny how laws work sometimes.

Always de carb the bud. I decarb at 220 degrees for 20 minutes. Here’s a cute video my daughter just sent me

Then I spray with Everclear and put it in a crock with butter for about 6 hrs on low. I then strain it through cheesecloth and freeze it till I’m ready to bake. For gummies- I also decarb and then put pot in a jar, cover with Everclear & put in the freezer for 5 days - stirring once a day. Strain thru cheesecloth and it’s ready to use.
