Been talking and it seems we don’t have a thread specific to making edible cannabis. Be it butter or tincture etc. or your favorite way to ingest them share your recipes and ways to make it so others can have a nice resource to find!
Weather it’s tincture, canna butter / canna vegetable oil , ect!
As shared with me by @Gardenartus
It is what you put into it !
So weather you use fresh or cured the better the product the better the finish !
I Tend to use good bud mixed with larf and trim but mainly bud !
Here a quick tincture recipe freezer method
( note if you use fresh and are going to boil off the alcohol by 1/2 it will decarb it )
I do decarb the cured bud ( I make butter and tincture at the same batch of weed )
For 30 min at 220 degrees Fahrenheit
Then into the freezer for 24 hours and I always freeze the alcohol .
After freezing
Combine alcohol and bud in a mason jar and shake the hell out of it for 3 minutes
Strain to separate alcohol from bud ( this helps to get read of the chlorophyll with cured bud ) it will show as amber at this stage you could stop here ! But I do it 2xs
Place the weed and alcohol separately into the freezer for a few hours then repeat the process ( there will be a bit of chlorophyll at this stage )
Strain the mixture and your done
Get rid of the weed it’s spent
leave alcohol in mason jar and place in the freezer for a a few days then run through a coffee filter
To remove sediment at the bottom
From here you can use a double boiler pot place glass jar in the pot with water only 1/2 way up the jar on an electric stone only ** NEVER USE A GAS STOVE **
The fumes can explode and go boom
Boil off 1/2 the alcohol for a stronger tincture or purge all alcohol off and get oil
You must watch the boiling off process it takes a few hours to purge so you can’t just leave it alone while on the stove please
I stumbled on this site years ago when I was looking for “sous vide” recipes. At the time it wasn’t exclusively “sous vide weed” recipes, but it looks like an immersion circulator features in at least some of the recent stuff. I haven’t really browsed deeply, because edibles aren’t a viable delivery method for me, but this may be of interest:
I would love to find a shelf stable gummi recipe! All the recipes I’ve tried either have to be kept in the freezer or they’ll get all melty in a few days at room temp lol. And once they’re frozen, they end up dry and weird
Also, my recommendation for Infusions- a magnetic hotplate:
It works fabulous for oil Infusions especially. My recommendation is to use something along the lines of rso, hash, rosin, distillate. Avoid solvent heavy extractions like bho.
This is a super cheap version so you’ve gotta monitor temps a lil bit, but it’s fairly stable. You can skip decarbing and throw your cannabis, oil, and lecethin in together. It stirs as well as heats. It works better for things like coconut oil or olive oil that have low viscosity. Haven’t tried it with butter, but I prefer cooking with coconut oil anyway
Personally I’d like to find a better one than I’ve got, but they get expensive quick. It works well for small batch things tho.
Very cool, I’ll definitely give that a try, thank you! What do you recommend for a mold inhibitor? I know ascorbic acid or potassium sorbate are pretty common, is there anything you prefer?
instead of the oven to decarb - I use a crock pot at 180-200 (high) for 45 min to 1hr then reduce heat to (low) and then crock for another 4 hrs.(length of time can vary depending it one wants more CBD -(longer crock time) don’t like the idea of cooking pot to decar it -
Ive been making most of my edibles out of old flower rosin ive had sitting around. But these methods work good for any concentrate including kief/hash
Decarb for 30ish minutes at 230f. I’ll usually go a couple minutes over if i want more sedating edibles. Once decarbed, add desired amount of oil and mix till homogenized.
Usually make THC capsules or caramels. For capsules, i measure out either coconut or olive oil for the capsules with a syringe, mix and then very carefully fill each capsule. I find they work best when taken with food. Sometimes they can take a few hours to hit on an empty stomach.
This caramel recipe is what I use. Good results just gotta stir constantly to keep the bottom and sides from burning, and use an accurate thermometer. Usually add around 5g of concentrate and divide into about 64 pieces. Based off my rough guesstimations theyre around 50mg each. https://joyfoodsunshine.com/homemade-caramel/
I like to let it material dry and cure for a bit - 15 days then I “crock” it one can use fresh flower - depends on what one is looking for - for more cbd let it cure for30days before… l then crock( letting h20 get 180-200 then put material in) easy and Never fail !!!
I went to try that recipe the other day and I realized it’s got jello mix in it, idk how i missed that I’m looking for like a pectin/gelatin blend similar to albanese brand consistency. Ideally something that uses either fruit puree/juice, or those flavoring oils made for gummies. But that did give me some ideas to experiment with! I’d been playing with gelatin and pectin recipes separately, and those could def be improved with the potassium sorbate. So I think that’s something I can revisit previous recipes with, I picked some up to play around.
I decided to make this while I do more research. It’s taken me a few years and countless attempts to make my own chocolate recipes from scratch. I imagine the gummies will be just as much trial and error haha
