Brownies Trial Two

My first batch I made with just bud two weeks ago, I cooked the oil for 3 hours. The only heads up that told me I did something right was the fact that 3 one inch squares 3/4 in thick brownies put me to sleep for a day and a half. My wife on the other hand raided the rest without even sleeping an extra hour. Go figure. The oil stopped steaming and is golden brown. Might give it another 2 hours.
 
Finished the oil, and even though I kept stirring it, it looks like the bud and leafs somehow burned? I hope the brownies come out better than the way the oil smells. Had cooked it about 4 hours on low.
 
Lord-Xanthor, I have not ever made any oil or butter, what kind of oil do You use? Way back in the 70's we just ground up the smoke, put it in the brownie mix (with extra chocolate syrup) and baked them. the quality of the pot, back then, was not as good as it seems to be today.
 
I use Crisco. The oil is fine, its just that the contents burned up in the oil. Sort of like what a French fry looks like when they fall out of the fry basket into the oil for over an hour. I strained everything, but wonder if its going to have a burned taste even though absolutely nothing burned on the bottom of the pot.
 
First rule of advertising, if there is a problem with the product that You can not fix, just call it a feature! Just say it's got a grilled smokie taste! LOL

Batch #2. See you all Monday ;)

Seems the overcooked oil didn't have an effect on the brownie taste. My wife just had seconds and she is more picky with food than my kids are. Just got done wrapping them all up. Had to make normal ones for my kids, and then the magical ones for us adults. I make sure to use two different brands to make it more easy to tell the normal from the abnormal. The look my kids give me when I locked mine up, was a look of "Is dad dealing with a full deck?" Type of look.

i remember that!!! i remember being worried about you, ala Lucky's comment above. something also about missing car keys, no?
 
YAYYYY....yeah, i was WUURRREEED about you and that last batch! (see comment above)

if you don't like the crisco or it's gonna burn on you, and you're interested enough to go down this wormhole, go to

seriouseatsDOTcom and look up different smoking points of oil...the guy that runs the site is a science geek turned cooking geek and he does all kinds of different for real legit experiments to test common knowledge/received wisdom in all areas cooking stuff...

it's cool as shit if that kind of thing floats your boat...
 
My objective was to make my own strains, one high in cbd, low thc, one high thc, high cbd, and one med cbd, med thc. Been buying medical cannabis to get an idea of where I want to go with this and the brownies proved a very strong point. I need to make huge adjustments before baking because the oil is about 70% higher in chemicals than I thought possible, and as you can see I didn't sleep a day and a half this time around due to only having half a brownie and that alone was like having a house dropped on you lol. Thanks for the additional info bobsakamoto. I think last time I had 6 once inch squares.

The leafs are finally done. The final weight after drying is 1.15 ounces. The bud itself was .30 ounces so going to make up some oil combining it all. I'm thinking 20 ounces of oil or should I go with 10? Any suggestions? Pictures as follows.

Trial part III. I am making a new bottle of Cannabis oil. I'm drying a bunch of leafs I had kept frozen in three large zip lock bags. Its a combination from all female plants from the top of each plant, and some from below. The plants the leafs are from are Girl Scout Cookie, Pineapple Kush, THC bomb, THC Snow and Big Bud auto. The crushed leafs after drying came to two and a half ounces. On top of that, I have two ounces of bud I crushed which include Gorilla Glue (Had to cut manually, this stuff gums up the works) Girl Scout Cookie, Apollo 13, Purple dream, Blue Haze, OG Kush, And something a friend gave me I think called Acid Rain. So now I'm mixing two and a half ounces of crushed sugar leafs plus 2 ounces of crushed bud. Now, I just bought 48 ounce bottle of Crisco Oil. I don't just want to make oil for the brownies I'm making later, I want to have a lot left over to make other things. is 48 ounces of oil enough or do I need to buy more oil or use less oil ? Thanks again.
 
I vape my stuff and then use the used up stuff to make brownies, and cut into 9 squares to give you an idea what size they are, but one of those is all you want. 2 of them you'll be tripping! You gotta be careful with these brownies! LOL who would have thunk!
 
I'm actually making cupcakes this time around. I decided to go by what I had done last time, but this time around use a whole bottle of oil so I don't have to keep spending 4 hours making the oil. Plus two and a half large zip lock bags were taking up a lot of room in my freezer. After drying the leafs, I was surprised to have over two ounces of crushed powder. Last time I only got .4 of an ounce. And add the strong bud in, I was hoping a 48 ounce bottle of cooking oil would be good to use. I don't want them weak, and I don't want them strong where I sleep a day and a half. Not to mention, I'm seriously considering investing in an electric grinder. I use tools on a daily basis and haven't gotten a single blister in years, yet crushing leafs, started tearing my hands apart as if I hadn't done a chore in my life. Reminded me when I was a kid doing sprinkler installs. By end of the day during the summer, I would end up going home with bleeding hands from tightening over 200+ pipe clamps. Then one day, those new crimp versions came out and still, found a way to tear my hands apart. When school started in the fall, well, Ill just skip the comments my friends would make >_<. Oh, I also think I might have been making a mistake tossing the stems out instead of crushing them in the past. I noticed they got goopy when crushed and made me think there might be a bit of THC and CBD I was tossing out.

My cupcakes have to wait till Sunday afternoon. What you see here is a re-do of last nights work. Unfortunately the 4.5 ounces, well, just typing what happened makes me want to cry. The leafs were from my own plants. The bud was about $600 store bought(donated) . My plan was, and still is to make 48 ounces of cannibus oil. If I should use less oil with the 2.8 ounces please let me know now before I lose this batch too. As for last nights batch, I had grinded down what I had planned to use and put it on the kitchen table. As I was about to grab the new bottle of Crisco, one of my kids got hurt. Nothing serious. Just a nose bleed from hosing around. I was only out of the kitchen 45 seconds. Time enough for disaster. While I was taking care of my sons injury, one of my wife's friends just happened to stop by and not used to seeing cannabis, especially grinded up, mistook the bowl for a glass ashtray. She decided to flush the contents thinking it was ash. Soon as she stepped out of the bathroom, she handed it to me saying "your welcome" The silence that fell was a Kodiak moment burned into my head for all eternity. Time to go sob again >_<

Sonnyhad You mean you use the resin for making brownies? Its the only thing I can think of being left after vaping weed, as I would of thought the weed itself would be burned up. Then again, I'm assuming vaping is similar to a water pipe? Before I got my license for medical marijuana in December, I hadn't had a chance to smoke a bowl since I believe 1996. Since then a lot of new things had come out for consuming cannabis.
 
Never mind the above. I was victim of an April fools joke. Problem with the joke, is your supposed to let the one the joke was played on know it was a joke on April Fools day, not leave a bloody voice message the day after with the location they hid your stash.
 
Yes, I would never have believed it until someone on here was talking about it. When you vape you don't burn the weed so what's left over is brown stuff that looks like tobacco. T hats the magic stuff, 1/4 cup to a batch of brownies.
 
I told my wife when I bought the water pipes not to ever clean them. I showed her why, and she never touches them at all. Is the vape method much better to collect resin?

Had a semi hard decision to make, and decided to go with stripping all the sugar leaf from the tops I just cut off my GSC and THCBomb plants. Adding it to the oil mixture I'm making later. I have a huge feeling when I been cooking in one pot making the oil, that Id be saving a lot of THC by using a double boiler instead and ordered two sets a few minutes ago. I wont have them in time but at least next run I will. I also included the smaller stems and ordered an electric grinder to save the wear and tear on my hands lol.
