Extraction New Oil recipe

[pop22]

Hi folks, I've done a small batch of BHO (2 grams ish) into 1/3 cup of coconut oil, let it simmer for 8 hours (around 180 degrees), then added a tsp of beeswax granules, and let that get happy for an hour. That concoction is a SUPERB topical salve/lotion for muscle pain and tension! The beeswax gives it some holding power, and is a great skin softener.
We've used it for sore muscles, muscle spasms, dry skin irritation, and Lady Waxi used it on some lingering poison ivy, this past Spring, and the next day- it was GONE.
SO, the high concentrates, using small amounts of oil/wax, is quite effective.
Its important to keep the heat low, of course. I never go over 220 degrees F.
Best to y'all!

I went to using a double boiler, it actually gives better temp control than you might think. I've fiddled around with the stove burner setting ( damn electric stove but its what I have ) and by having the lower pan set tojust barely boiling I can keep a temp of about 195F in the top pan. I also usually heat up the batch of oil to temp by placing a jar lid in the bottom pan for the mason jar to set on. I fill the pan near full and boil it till the temp of the oil is about 190-195. I do this because, with only about an inch of water in the upper pan, it takes a long time to get the oil to cooking temp.

I'd love to make some QWET ( I have no desire to deal with purging Butane or ISO ) and make a little oil with it. Maybe a future project. My goal right now is to make enough QWET to use as RSO for my ladies MS treatment. The oil is helping some, but I think she really needs to do something close to RSO to get the real benefit. My shitty water has screwed up my grows fro months so I don't have the volume of material I need. I'm hoping now that I can make RO water, I can look forward to making enough QWET to make a 90 days supply of caps for her, so a minimum of a pound of bud.

pop, have you ever done a water cure on your material before making the oil? I started doing that a couple years ago and the results were so good I now do it every time. The water cure removes all the chlorophyll and the result is oil with virtually no taste at all. Bubble bags work great for filtering it. The fine grade ones will catch a lot of the small veg material and the result is a much clearer oil. Plus they are easy to squeeze the oil out of.

After trying the water cure the first time, I ALWAYS water cure my herbs before making edibles. Night and day difference when it comes to flavor and appearance!

Awesome thread!

Do you guys decarb before extraction?

When prepping for making oil/butter for cooking, I do

Yes, I decarb using the 27 minutes @ 252F ( I bought a good oven thremometer I actually do 250 for 27min., close enough...lol ) method. As I let my plant material air dry before i use it, I'm going to go to decarbing in turkey bags ( oven bags ) to preserve the terpenes that remain.

When making oil/butter, do you guys use it right away, or are you able safely store it for later use? I always use mine rather quickly for fear that it might go rancid

Just freeze it for later use.

Yes, and before freezing the material.

For oils- I'll freeze anything that won't be used in 2 weeks, and it stays in the fridge.
For cannamilk- I freeze any that won't be used in a week. If you've ever opened a 2 month old run of cannamilk, straight from the fridge, it is just EMETIC! lolol Trust me.
