Concentrates with Chase

Send us Fan MailIf you've been thinking of making your own concentrates, then this episode is for you.  Inspired by listeners who have been asking about making and using concentrates in edibles, having this knowledge can allow to make your own OR if you're buying concentrates, understand why quality matters.  I'm joined by Chase, known online as Temple Grower, a guest who knows a lot more about making concentrates than the average person.  Not only does he work in the legal cannabis industry in a lab making distillate, he is an avid cultivator, breeder, living soil advocate and concentrate maker.  He's truly a believer in growing and making your own medicine so you can take control of your high life!  Concentrates make for potent edibles and lend themselves well to many candy-making recipes. They're great for topicals, making infusions or you can also ingest them directly. Since they're so potent, a little goes a long way so be sure to start with the smallest possible dose and work your way up from there. Here are the links for this episode:Last but not least, do this outdoors or in a well-ventilated area as alcohol fumes are highly flammable!Temple Grower YouTube, Twitter & Instagram @templegrower, TempleGrowing websiteHigh On Homegrown podcastPercy's Growroom - look for Chase's (Temple Grower) living soil recipeChef Charleen Caabay likes to use concentrates in her edibles - episodeRick Simpson Oil (RSO) vs. Full Extract Cannabis Oil (FECO)Difference between types of concentrates is based on type of solvent usedEthanol - drinking alcohol, Isopropyl - 99% alcohol, Acetone - toxic, don't useConcentrated cannabis oil RSO/FECO does not preserve terpenes, tinctures can preserve terpenes Get all that solvent out - improves the taste and reduces harm from ingesting the solvent which would be counterproductiveLasts quite a while, store in syringe in the refrigerator to keep the molasses like consistencyCan use in gummies, candies, eaten directly, infused into fatsStart low and go slow - these oils are potent, proceed with cautionTest for potency by sending to a local lab, Gemmacert, tCheckBuy RSO/FECO from a legal source unless you're confident with the producer, process and have a certificate of analysis.
