Medibles with QWET, ISO, BHO

I'll just start with saying this is my first time baking.
I've been making a decent amount of winterized BHO for a friend lately. One day i decided to use the secondary extraction for edibles. After the primary butane extraction I filled a large jar with over 200grams of once washed trim/bud and threw it in the freezer...only after i let the material completely dry out. I don't know exactly how much Everclear i used but around 1200ml, threw that in the freezer also. After ethanol and material sat in freezer for a couple days i performed the soak. Yielded 3.55grams of very dark oil that was to be expected. I also expect a sedative high.
Best picture I have of it...this stuff was some very stiff shatter.


I placed half a cup of veggie oil into a mason jar and on my griddle at about 95F. I shattered up the extract and placed it into the oil, agitated it often before i was convinced it was going to take a long time to fully dissolve. Eventually i was bored and threw the jar into my vacuum chamber to see was would happen.

The extract was up to temp by then for sure and it started releasing a few bubbles, but a decent amount of tiny bubbles were forming at the very bottom of the jar and lifting bits of the extract to the surface and self agitating the whole thing.

After messing around with the vacuum and stirring it up all but one tiny little chuck(about.3grams) seems to want to dissolve. The next day it was still in the jar so i took the chunk out.

I then proceeded to make brownies with the oil in a 8x8 pan. Baked at 300F for 35min.
I've eaten a cookie from a dispensary and couple other edibles that didn't seem to do anything for me...or at least that I noticed.
I devided the 8x8 into 6 brownies and ate one at 830am, already 2hrs into my 8hr work day of baking bread, making sandwiches and washing dishes...very routine.
I usually don't smoke at all during work because i'm just so busy and I was really hoping to start using edibles in the morning or during work.
These brownies seemed to do the trick, enough for me to feel my anxiety and neck pain at ease for a good 2 solid hrs and fading out for another 2hrs.
I had other light weight weekend tokers say that half a brownie was enough for them.

Just wanted to get my first experience/experiment with medibles out there and would really like to hear back with some suggestion.
I have coconut oil for the next round. I don't want to always bake sweet goods, would love to have some more healthy medibles.
Thanks for taking a look

I use Everclear 190-proof for extraction to make hash for baking (my wife & I each do medibles everyday along with dabbing). If you don't want the sweets, combine in a 1:1 ratio, decarbed hash & coconut oil and put in caps (you can decarb with the oil if you want to, I find it easier to evap the EtOH and then decarb)

I use butane for my primary extraction, for dabs, then winterize with ethanol. I plan on using ethanol for some primary QWEt extractions and have some great edibles....i'm kinda tired of smoking and i finally have enough extra trim on a regular basis to make edibles.

I should try caps for sure.

Fadedawg has suggested to decarb right after the evap as well. There is a nice graph referencing hexane extractions being decarbed at dif temps and times and if i remember right 250F for 7min did the trick for the max potency of thc in the oil.

What do you suggest for decarb time and temp for the QWEt extractions before mixing with coco oil and capping?

I feel like using solvent extractions i'm able to get some very potent edibles, consume less at once. What's your take on that? You obviously have a lot of experience with edibles so i'm open to hearing your favorite recipes and such...also any "probably don't want to try this" type of scenarios.

If you decarb after evap, you can watch the CO2 bubbles. When they stop, it is decarbed. I usually don't wait for the last bubble because if you decarb too long the THC degrades. I decarb at 250F for 20-27 minutes. Partially decarbed material does not take as long. So if you are watching it decarb, then you will be able to achive max potency. I use 4-5 grams of hash to 115g Ghee, heat ghee to 125-140 to bind hash to the fat, cool in refer. I then warm to room temp and make cookies. I get 30-35 cookies per stick of budder. I eat 2-4/day. I will have to think about the "don't try this" except, I would not use IPA to make edibles.

you will have better quality stuff if you do quick wash ethanol, so far you have been describing ethanol soaks. which will still work but like you mentioned earlier it will be sleepier stonier stuff than you would have after a quick wash. If you wash quick you wont have nearly as much chlorophyll to deal with either, and the resulting edibles will have a more clear and heady high which I prefer to straight up flower food - too stony n cloudy for me most of the time.

I washed the material for 3min plus however long it took to strain out the ethanol. I def am aware of how ethanol will pull a ton of chlorophyll, that's mainly why i use butane for my thermos soaks not everclear.
I can't wait to use some primary extractions for edibles and have that nice clear high. I've never been a fan of the cloudy highs except when it's late at night and i'm in pain.
I have performed only a few straight QWEt extractions to use for dabbing and def loved the results, and love the fact that i don't have to winterize ethanol extractions...but my yields aren't as high with QWEt as my butane extractions.

Thanks for the reply and maybe i'll keep this thread posted with my results from the extraction to the oven to the mouth...i'm just busy during the summer and don't have enough time for RUI anymore is seems.

yeah stony weed is good for pain but oil edibles work better for pain than weed ones do for me
