Im thinking about making gummies. I dont really understand the concept of decarbing.
Can i use dry sift or bubble hash? Is there a step before infusing?

I use this method for decarbing.

Ok thanks @Prince that helps. Ground and gently toasted 240°. Then ready for infusion.
No carbon filter on my oven. This should be interesting.

Hey bud I read the other day that you can do this in closed/sealed mason jars to help with the smell. The smell has been my hesitation thus far.

I vacuum seal with butter and boil just shy of an hour.

240 for 40 mins or 250 for 30 mins works great… make sure you get an oven thermometer… because you need to keep the temps nice and stable

240° with the lids tight sounds muy peligroso. Maybe ill try with loose lids.

Hmmm.maybe i could do the same with the coconut oil i plan to infuse instead of butter. Could prolly be done with vac bags or mason jars then…

I’ve made infused coconut oil a bunch man it’s a great method and healthier than canna butter plus last significantly longer

Its the main ingredient in the gummies i wanna make. Had some sour patch kids (1st time ever, mid 50’s) now i wanna get that sour sugar and make flower patch kids.

It will stink up the place for sure. I usually do it late at night when the least amount of people are up. I found that decarbing takes away alot of the weed smell and flavor that you taste in some edibles.
For my purposes I use 4 grams of decarbed kief for 66 gummies. Is how many bears that are on one mold sheet.

I usually decarb around 235° in the oven then add to small mason jars containing coconut oil in warm water bath in crock pot. Some just do the whole process in crockpot but imo takes too long

Man thats commercial size brody. I thought i saw molds with maybe a dozen bears at my local grow shop.whats your method for decarbing dry sift/kief?
I have that anova sous vide!
Now im switching gears…sous vide is perfectly constant temps …sounds like money.

I use the oven technique, no jars. I spread it out on foil on a pan and bake. I will stir it around once during baking. Once it’s done I’ll mix and chop it up with the edge of a gift card, otherwise it cools and clumps a bit. It still breaks apart in processing, its just easier to measure.

So im picturing jars with ground herb or drysift or bubble hash maybe(?) With coconut oil. In a tub with water and the sous vide on 240° for less than an hour. Then im ready to add the (strained) oil to a gummie recipe?
