Yeah mate the last 3 batches I've infused it using a slow cooker on the lowest setting and as a bit of an experiment tried a much longer cook. I hear folk say 3/4 hours is enough and it doesn't get any stronger if you cook it longer so thought I'd find out for myself. It's now knocking my bollocks off and I have to be very careful how much I take its that naughty.. Give it a try dude 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slippy One Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 8 hours ago, SkunkOscar said: How much weed per 100g would people consider strong? For example, the last batch I made in MBM had approximately 70g of weed/ 700g of coconut oil. So that works out as 7g weed per 100g oil. My recipe for making capsules is 5g dry sift to 50g cacao butter. The problem with adding more bud is when it’s too much plant material in the oil to be effective as a solvent. Making hash first is a great way of solving these problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yan Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 @Slippy One I bet those capsules pack a fair punch. Once you’ve made your dry sift, what do you do with the remaining bud and trim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slippy One Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 They're OK. Need 2 "00" size capsules to get a buzz, they're only 1ml each. The leftover shake from the cleaning screens gets soaked in ISO for making topical skin cream, as ISO is not recommended for ingestion. The skin balm is really effective at fixing nearly any skin issues. Hit me up if you need a link to the thread for my skin balm. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slippy One Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Making sift: Cacao (basically same as coconut, just melts at higher temp) capsules: Skin Balm: Happy cooking 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revive Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 (edited) I normally use about an oz per jar of coconut oil 300ml/276g Last batch I used about 8/9oz to about 1.2 ltrs of oil. I do run the buds through the screens first for dry sift but it's still really really strong once the oil is made Edited March 19 by Revive 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkunkOscar Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 Thanks everybody, some fantastic information on the thread. I’m very interested in trying all of it, the skin balm sounds perfect for me too! I wish I had all the above posters skills to make all these wonderful infusions. I will do some more reading, then try and make some tinctures, oils, balms, rso, capsules and the rest if it. Think I’m gonna need considerably more weed though! thanks everybody for the advice and information, much appreciated. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC2 Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 I dunno... what's wrong with cannabutter and good old pot brownies? Gets me faceless every time and keeps for ages in the freezer. A slow cooker is priceless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
