If you can hit and hold 225 F for ten minutes, you’re decarbed.
A crock pot never gets hot enough. If you have a pressure cooker, cook the jar 30-40 minutes. The extra time is for coming to temp in the whole jar.
Otherwise take your oil/fat extract and carefully heat in a saucepan. An IR thermometer is good to have for that.

I get a little bit of a simmer around the edges in my crock pot on the lowest setting, not sure what the actual temperature is.

My guess is 190 to 200 F (88 to 94 C)

Perfect for extracting but just not quite there for efficient decarb

nice, we have them too

how bout one for the home as a backup?

I looked into wind turbines to power the farm, but small ones don't produce enough energy, you need a large one and thy require more wind and are very costly. Solar is a much better option with propane generator back-up

no I don't decarb in the crockpot, just make the butter in there.

Here, just put this in it for a couple seconds.

Cannabutter is super easy to make with a crockpot. I can give you a couple idiot proof coo


Have you experienced any blackouts yet? You gotta get the system that @curious2garden has.

LOL, not any of the "official PG&E rolling blackouts" yet, though we lost power for 3 hrs Tuesday night for whatever unknown/unreported reason.
The following link is PG&E's page explaining the rolling blackouts. You'll get no warning so they suggest being prepared lol

I would say at least it's only two hours, but that's long enough for my place to become an oven. Does that impact businesses as well or just residential?

You're an outdoor grower right?

I have a candy thermometer I could use, I've just been too lazy to check. the butter is potent af so I'm happy

Impacts everyone in the designated area. Yep, outdoor primarily. I start seeds around Feb in a tent/lights and take them outside when frost danger has passed. I'll do breeding/crosses in the tents during winter
Edit: can't start them too early or else they will flower in May and naturally reveg; if that happens they are a pain to trim/harvest in Oct

wind turbines....they don't need sun to generate power, and as long as you have a wind, you have power

I wonder how hard it is to get the FAA on board. They mark wind turbines on aviation (sectional) maps, so it might be pricy.

Iirc this work was done with thin films on glass exposed to air. This exaggerates speed of oxidative loss.

~edit~and evaporative. THC has a considerable volatility around 100 C.

Near Livermore. Taking advantage of the delta breeze.

Some of the Tehachapi wind farm

 

[Laughing Grass]

When I lose electricity my system stops. A/C doesn't work then either. Matter of fact I got something from SCE recently discussing backup generators, as if everyone has them.

oh I misunderstood, I thought it was power agnostic.

Looks a lot like my western horizon. Not today, the pea soup is too thick.

I often look at the turbines in my binos to get a rough read on wind speed and direction.

something like this mate for the home

examples:


google home wind turbines......and such...

I have a friend that runs a couple on his house at the coast, he say they save him a lot of $$$ and also against power outages too...

Yeah I figured there aren’t that many moving parts. My main question would be what temp/time to decarb, maybe 240 for 45 mins? Put it in the crock pot on low with (not sure of amount) butter and a little water as well?

My cannabis chef says the magic recipe is aboutaOZ to 1 cup coconut oil.

Wow I sold my 336 kit guitar, the kid really liked it, thought the setup was perfect.

I even made a few bucks

Trying to decide on a new light or another guitar kit

The Doppler radar for the weather service picks up the wind farm down by the bay.
