Extraction Decarb before cook?

I question whether spreading it out on a sheet, or having a brownie like layer in a deep pan would make any difference as well.

Not really following any directions I put 1.2 oz of fine ground trim in a small bread pan, about 1.5 inch deep or so. Baked at 220F for an hour. Moved it to 1 lb. unsalted butter and 1 cup of water in a crock pot, on warm, for 12 hrs. I strained it this morning and put it in a steel canister to chill in the fridge.

So I should be covered by way of crock pot extraction, but the original method was questionable I guess. Do I need to spread it out more for some reason?

From a layman's standpoint, you only want to achieve a soft tan burnished color to the materiel. The deeper it is the harder it is to get it to cook evenly. I f you have a great deal I like to just freeze it and roast what I need per run. That way I don't have difficulty getting it nicely even brown without having chunks in it. The better decarb the better the finished product. I use a small metal pan inside a turkey brown and serve bag and run it 35 minutes in the oven at 250f. Been into the brownies this afternoon and its very very good.
