Hi I would like to start this off buy saying I'm no expert in this. I've just had a few trys with different oils and strengths.
I did a hand cream as I and a friend suffer from bad hands I've followed a few different way but this I find the best and quickest way.
I would like to thank Valentina and hotshot for there help
So I start buy decarbing my herb in a pressure cooker
This time I used 18g of bud
Roughly rip it up and place into a Mason or in this case kilner jar.
You need to set your pressure to high pressure
And temp to cook at 240f
And cook for 40mins to decarb herb
Once done you can force release pressure
Before
After
You need to place
2 cups of water in your cooker and a couple of small towel to keep jar off bottom
Once decarb and cooled enough to handle I add 100ml of oil (of your choice)
And Cook for another 20mins this time leave it to naturally ralease the pressure.
Once this has finished and cooled enough to handle.
You need to use a cheesecloth to filter the herb from the oil I squeeze cheesecloth to get everything out.
This time I've separated 40ml of oil and mixed in 10g of Beeswax to make 50ml of balm, salve or cream you pick what it's called ????
I use a water bath on a gentle heat to melt wax so I can put into a little pot.
I've also added lemon and lavender essential oils to hide the small amount of herb smell.
I'm hoping this works out about 400-500mg of cbd based on Valentina maths and my understanding of what I was told
Based on the herb being 6% cbd/thc and 17g equaling 1000mg
Hope this helps someone as I made one that was made one with only 7g and that worked a treat.
