Quick Rundown on how I make my oil:
FYI Butter and Coconut Oil may be interchanged at 1:1 ratio.
Items Needed:
Crock Pot
Sifting Screen (Some Kind of Mesh Screen)
Coconut Oil
Larf/ Trim Mix
Water
Plastic Cup able to squeeze (this comes in handy later)
I use one of these:
Anyway...
Take 1 cup of coconut oil (melted) and place into the Crock-pot. Add 1 oz of larf/ trim mix. You will notice that the oil does not cover the mix. What i do is add ~ 2 cups of water or enough to cover the mix.
(Why this works... Oil does not mix with water. Because THC is not water soluble it will infuse only with the oil. Once Heated it will appear everything will mix together once the cooling process starts you see the oil separate from the water and other contaminants)
Place Crock-pot on high for 1 hour. Reduce heat to low stir occasionally and simmer for 2 - 4 hours. (This may also be left overnight on the warm setting)
(Science Note: THC has a boiling/ evaporation temperature of ~ 350 degrees f. Do not let the crock pot go over this or potency will begin to be lost)
After the Crock-pot has been off for ahhh let's say 30 min or so. Just long enough not to melt whatever final container you are using, but still warm/ hot. Take the mesh strainer and place over your final container. Slowly pour the contents of the crock-pot through the strainer and into the cup. You may add a coffee filter to make the end product cleaner but I just skip it. Once all of the mix is strained give the left over plant material a couple of squeezes with some tongs ***Caution this may be hot***. Place the cup in the fridge overnight. DO NOT put in the freezer to save time. End product will not separate properly.
Once Everything has cooled, separated and sat in the fridge overnight we are ready for the last step. I used a butter knife to scrap along the edges and help free up the puck. Pull it out scrape the underside with the back of the knife to get some of the scum off and then rinse under the sink. This needs to be stored in the fridge to maintain a solid state. Wrap it up in tin foil or plastic wrap.
You will end up with something like this:
***Disclaimer: I didn't take any pictures during my process. These were found on the internet. Also this image is showing a butter puck. But it will be very similar.***
