To decarb you prep your material like you normally would if it were going in the oven and then put it in a vacuum bag and into the water bath.My edible recipe:
I decarb half of the product in the oven. Metal cookie sheet, covered with tinfoil to seal it. Set oven at 240 for 30 mins.
-the other half of product I don't decarb because I want both the 'high' and the medical benefits of THC-A and others that the decarb will cook out
Then I use a sous vide machine to cook the butter. Usually 185 for 2-4 hours. Cook it inside with the windows open and the smell is there-usually smells pretty delicious. Done it in wintertime with windows closed--smell is definitely there, but with the windows open it isn't too strong.
I used to use a crock pot, which worked fine, but the sous vide machine gives much better temp control. @dstroy, I am curious about the decarb method you use with the sous vide. How does that work?
Up until this last time, I used to mix coconut oil with water and then separate the water out after. But this last round, no water was used--only coconut oil. And the flavor was much better than ever before. So plan to keep using coconut oil with no water.
Always looking to improve if anyone has any tips/suggestions
Some lady wrote about it and got lab test results done for different times/temps, it works just like the oven without the smell.
