I’m wanting to really improve my knowledge around all things cannabis, but especially edibles, including tincture, butter and oils etc.
I know I’m pretty new to all of this, so if I ask a stupid question or two, please forgive me.
Okay, so first question I have, is why do you need to steep the de-carbed plant material for such a long time in the butter/oil etc?
I would have thought that the whole process should be quite quick. I mean, the trichomes are already de-carbed and they are on the surface (not inside the flower/bud itself), so why does it take so long for them to become detached and mixed with the oil? I have read anything between 3 and 8 hours recommended to “stew” the mix, but it doesn’t make sense to me?
Anyone here tried it for much shorter time?
Thank you
