A few weeks ago I carefully decarbed almost 1/2oz of medical grade master kush and then put it in a jar with everclear into my Sous Vide. Strained it after 20 mins and then reduced the Sous Vide to about 140 degrees. I put the jar in and said to myself... “almost there, I’ll reduce it and bottle it into these nice new cobalt bottles.” So I gently placed the mason jar in the water bath... there were a few other jars in there in case it fell over. And wouldn’t you know it.... I walk out of my bathroom and I hear a “glunk.” Somehow it floated around tipped over. It only had about 30 minutes to go... some days I swear I just can’t win. I put the leftover buds in a jar with a small amount of everclear but I’m guessing it wont’ amount to much after that soak.
I very much hope you didn’t throw out your experiment!
Unless it escaped the jar and you lost its contents, i fail to see that anything got ruined.
I’m lucky, I find I actively like the flavor of cannabis, whether it’s nibbling a bit, or the taste of a dab, or in butter. Butter is actively my favorite edible route. I’m currently dosing from a jar containing a half-stick of butter, a pinch of salt, 1/2 teaspoon lecithin, 3/8 oz of good weed that’s had the goo squeezed out of it, and a half-gram of concentrates from said weed. I heat it and stir it every day, eat a teaspoon a day.
I’ve had very few if any effective edible experiences high-wise, mostly what I seem to get out of it is a turbocharge on my smoking/vaping, so that’s okay, too.
Tackling Master Wu’s Green Dragon were my first steps in cannabis extraction - which is, by a very long road, how I got to be here right now. No idea how many batches I’ve attempted; as I say, I mostly got support for inhaled cannabis, but my wife liked it...just not instead of smoking, so that’s kept my experimental budget on the level of the randomly acquired eighth; I’ve done glycerine extractions (unimpressive), e-juice (good reviews), mostly thru Grey Wolf’s QWET example. I haven’t done any of that in the year since we moved (new roommate), but at the end, I was getting this golden goo of infinite stickiness, dissolving it in ETOH, evaporating it down, and raining drops upon bowls of cannabis, then head off for the next round of doing stuff.
Now I have water pipes, vapes, and a rosin forge, and the pot fairy and I have been on pretty good terms lately. I have online communities where I learn and share and have fun, and a much more entertaining life now than I did.
Thank you, Master Wu!
I hope everyone is happy with their Green Dragon!
