OK, so I tried my first attempt to make hash oil for a batch of gummies. I followed the basic guidelines of cooking down my tincture and had somewhat of a thin syrup consistency but after it cooled it pretty much solidified. Can I microwave it or put it in a hot water bath to liquefy it again.

Yes but each time you’re heating the tincture you’re losing potency fyi -
What method did you use for the extraction?
Alcohol or Butane ?Just because people are over 50 doesn’t mean they know everything.
You can teach a old dog new tricks - But it will still think the old ways are the “best” lolComment

you are not losing potency when you gently reheat. Just heat it up enough to get it liquid again and add to recipe. I use to just throw it in hard but makes stirring quickly hard.640 watt hlg quantum board

I decarb and reduce with a solar oven. I didn't realize how gummy/sticky this stuff gets. I want to find a container that's easy to remove the RSO from and be easy to clean out as well. I used a pint jar for my first attempt. I'll be on the lookout for something dark (it aids the heat transference) that I may cap, if I choose.A Legend...in his own mind - , 48" X 60" X 80" 2-in-1 Grow Tent, Flower light: Vivaspectra P2500 LED.

If it's in a closed container and won't leak you can try putting it in warm water for a little while to soften it up. I have mine in a little syringe and keep it in the refrigerator until I'm ready for it. Usually I kill 2 birds and make a batch of gummies with whatever is left in the pan after I fill the syringe so I don't waste any of the oil I just worked so hard making. Love the gummy recipe just make sure you don't overcook it or they'll turn into hard candies. I can give some good flavor recommendations if you want them, I've experimented with quite a few already. The juice and flavor extract play a big part in the final flavor and some just don't mix well. Fruity extracts are probably your best bet, like orange or lemon extract. I use lemon extract for mine personally. Minute Maid makes a few good juices you can use. I personally like using the Mango Punch, Peach Punch, and I just found a Berry Punch that works great. Just depends on the Jell-O flavor on which juice I use. I've even started getting creative and mixing Jell-O flavors, cherry lime, strawberry lemon, orange peach (most recent experiment that came out amazing), there's so many to try. Best of luck and enjoy your gummies.Attached FilesComment

thank you for the tips, my first batch of gummies ae in the freezer setting up, had a hard time pouring into my molds and started setting up real fast before I finished filling, I'll know in awhile how it is after licking the dishes. -
Any time. Another tip for you, to keep the mix from setting too fast while you pour. Take your measuring cup, put hot water in and pop it in the microwave for a few minutes while you're "cooking" the mix. Keep the hot water in it until just before you're ready to pour your mix in. A glass one works best I've found because it retains the heat longer. That will buy you a few extra minutes to pour into your molds.
