Experience has taught me that using clear capsules with a clear capsule filling device is a lot harder to do than having either coloured capsules or a coloured device.
Ingredients:
- 10g of the strain of your choice
- 130 ml of organic sunflower oil
- 1 tbsp of liquid sunflower lecithin
Equipment:
- coffee grinder
- empty '00' size gelatin capsules
- EZ-Cap-Filling device
- cheesecloth (alternatively you could use a nut milk bag)
- mini crockpot
- syringe
- baking sheet
- aluminum foil
- 2 small microwave safe bowls
- a couple rubber bands
Instructions:
- Line the baking sheet with aluminum foil to prevent the cannabis from sticking to the pan during the decarb process.
- Preheat the oven to 110C/230F.
- Measure out 10g of your cannabis.
- Lightly grind your cannabis so it decarbs more evenly.
- Spread the freshly ground buds over the aluminum foil on the baking sheet.
- Put the baking sheet in the oven for 110 minutes for optimum results.
- When the cannabis is in the oven, measure out the oil and the liquid sunflower lecithin and add to the mini crockpot, which should be set to warm.
- When the cannabis is done decarbing, remove from the oven and grind again if desired.
- Add the decarbed cannabis to the heating oil and stir.
- Set your kitchen timer for 3 hours making sure that you stir it every half hour or so.
- When the 3 hours is up, turn off the crockpot and let it cool down.
- Set up your capsule filler device as per the directions on the back of the box. You won't need the tool called a 'tamper' for this since you're working with a liquid instead of dry herb.
- Insert the 50 capsules without lids into the capsule filler device.
- Cut off a square of cheesecloth. It should be a bit more than twice the width of the microwave-safe container.
- Fold the cheesecloth in half so it's twice as thick and place it over the container. Secure it to the container with one of the rubber bands. (this is to strain your finished oil)
- Pour or spoon the oil mixture on top of the cheesecloth. The mixture should slowly drip into the bowl underneath.
- Carefully take the rubber band off and make sure the cheesecloth doesn't fall into the oil. If you don't want oil all over your hands for this part, put on some rubber gloves first. Squeeze out as much oil as you can from the cheesecloth. Discard or save for a canna tea if you like.
- Use the syringe to suck up the cannabis-laden oil, and gently fill the caps one at a time. Be careful not to overfill the caps.
- Close the capsules as instructed on the capsule filler device box.
- Put in a jar and refrigerate. They basically will keep forever if you keep them in the fridge.
