What is the thinking behind the lecithin?
I thought it was an emulsifier and have read about it being used in gummy making so that the water/fat don’t separate.
Does it serve the same purpose in this application?

Love my butter machine… (yah i got that gadget too 
) I use grain tho so I do not use the heat on the buttermachine since i de-carb it. I don’t see the point.

You use 4 grams of flower to one stick of butter? Holy Moses I went way overboard then! I figured because it was mostly sugar leaves that the thc content would have been way less then flower so I basically doubled what you do. Yikes!! I have now learned that sugar leaves don’t play around😂
Instead of doing 240 for 40 minutes in the oven I read that you can do 300 for 15 minutes but it HAS to come out of the oven at the 15 min mark Or the degradation starts. I tried it. It defiantly worked! I mean I can’t compare it to anything, I’ll try the 240 for 40 on the next batch…and less herb lol
It’s 4 grams per 1/2 cup which is…a 1/4 of a pound I think?
It’s ok, you can always cut it with regular butter to thin it out if is too much for you

strongly recommend a good thermometer for the oven. I’ve never baked in one that was very accurate to dial/setting. temp varies inside too, hotspots need avoiding.
would also recommend making the same recipe repeatedly, leads to dialed-in finished product.
for me, it was chocolate chip cookies. I chose them because they’re always good, and flexible dosage-wise. (number/size cookies per batch) which is helpful because potency in your plant material/type will vary, and math will need doing.
@Gravitys-Rainbow thx for the tip on the Nova. spendy, but cheaper than mistakes! and stealth is always good (smell)

There is a whole thread on this by @ReikoX where he and everyone else do a great job of explaining why decarb is a must and how to do it correctly. Works every time for me for any butter, oil, etc https://overgrow.com/t/not-just-another-tincture-thread/7668

I decarb in the oven with a silicone box from the Magical Company, it’s wonderful. You actually retain a lot of the low temp terpenes compared to the cookie sheet method. Like a lot. And it’s super easy to clean.

Decara the weed. Sprinkle on granola. Add you favorite yougurt. Weed slows digestion, good for diabetics.

Does the silicone box have a lid? Cut down on the smell any?? I noticed that in the oven, the decarbing weed almost burns the eyes, makes the house smell super strong. I thought I got a contact high lol

Absolutely. Lid helps the smell, and is the key too it. It also comes with a temp probe you put in the box. So you get the right temp, not what your oven suggests is the temp.
