Best use of kief?

[fragileassassin]

So I have a surgery soon and been saving up my grinder tray for a while to make some edibles for recovery since I wont be able to smoke for at least a week after. I had some 160 micron bags, so I sifted it the best I could. I have 12.4 grams that sifted through 160 micron.
I've cooked with flower before but never kief. Do I still have to decarb it in the oven first?
I have an instant pot (pressure cooker) and a crock pot I've seen methods for both.
The big question I have, is how do I dose the kief? I cant find a ton of solid info on how much to use if i wanted to make like two sticks of butter or 2 cups of coconut oil very potent.
Should i just go for it and use all of it for 2 cups of oil? Looking at probably making rice crispy treats.

I can't give you info on cooking with keif but I can tell you that's a beautiful pile of dust!

Thanks! It adds up quick blowing an oz a week or more.
I'm definitely going to get some screens or something better than the little bags I used lol. Took too long to sift it all.

 

[Nickcg123]

Yeah I could only imagine how long it took to sift through that using the bags.
I hope all goes well with your surgery,
All the luck to you man!

If you're going to use it for baking then you don't need to decarb it. I've made lots of cookies with kief and they work great.

I can't find the notes I made but a level Tbsp in a small batch of sugar cookies made a decent strength cookie so you could start with that. I used dough with no choco chips or any thing else that could alter the amount of kief/cookie and weighed each one before baking at 20g dough. Then you get a consistent dose in each cookie.

I've got about 120g of kief made through a 180micron screen. Plenty more sugar trim and popcorn stashed away to process yet as well. Some of the kief is pretty old so may make it into oil then isomerize it to see how much more potent it becomes. Always wanted to try that.

Get better soon!

Thanks.
Its about 2 heaping tbsp total so im really leaning on just using it all and making 2 batches with it. Should last me the week I need it to.

I can't give you info on drinking with Kief but he was a hell of a drummer.

On a serious note, best of luck with the surgery and recovery.

First batch is straining.
The rice crispy treats are no bake, so decarbed it for 30 mins at 240. Had my house smelling amazing.
From there we gave it a go in the pressure cooker for an hour with a natural release so it was closer to 90 mins.
2 batches of 1 cup coconut oil to around 6g kief each.

These 2 batches are the same, the smaller 1 is just thicker.
We got 1/3 cup into each batch.
We did one 80/20 rice crispy and one 80/20 fruity pebbles.
I wont have time to try one tonight and I have to start my 24hr pre-OP stuff after midnight. They told me no thc or nicotine. I'll get the wife to try a piece tomorrow night after she gets off work.

My ex girl used to take my kief and infuse it with coconut oil in a mini crock pot all day. Stirring it every little bit. She would let the solids settle and spoon the oil off the top.

Idk what ratio she used or subbed in the recipes with the oil but it made killer hard candy that did not taste hashy one little bit.

This pressure cooking supposedly helps speed it up. We cooked it like we were canning. I am considering doing a long crockpot cook next time to compare results.
I put it all back through the 160 micro bag then we ran it through a coffee filter. Seems to have got a good bit of the solids out of it. Just finished straining the rest of it. Whats left is all in 1 jar now so we'll see how it settles. The oil had a very strong smell as we were melting down the marshmallow, so im hopeful about potency. If theyre weak ill just eat half a pan. LOL
I had a lot of fun making them and really looking forward to testing here in a couple days.

Should be good stuff!

Good luck with the surgery and a quick, happy and high recovery!

Realized that I never came back and updated you guys on this.
So I guess my tolerance is more than I thought. I definitely felt something which is good for my tolerance level, but they didnt help with my recovery as they were just making my painkillers less effective. I ate a bunch but stopped when I realized the less I ate or smoked the better my narcotics worked for the pain. So i have a bunch left ill start eating next week or so.
We did give a few to some friends though and the reports I got back were great. Friend ate a whole one and his tiny wife (cant be much over 100lbs) ate 1/4 of one. She said she still felt high the next morning when she got up. He had a very enjoyable night. They both said they would not do the same dose if they had anything to do the next morning but thoroughly enjoyed them.
Overall id say my extraction method worked as intended.

How do you store your kief? I’ve read in the fridge. Seems moisture would be so high it would just get gooey. Any suggestion? Use 1.5 gram to a pack of brownie mix makes about 9 brownies. I like ghrardelli mix.

I just have a mason jar on the shelf on my headboard of my bed lol. idk if I should do it any different but it was still quite potent and didnt clump up any.

They were amazing. I have a few left from the rice crispy batch, but ive eaten most of them myself by now.
Ive always loved fruity pebbles, that batch was so much better. I had my wife make more of those that werent dosed.
