The tools
Calculators
Making an edible is a four-step calculation: how much converts during decarb, how much of that transfers into the fat, how much of the fat goes into the batch, and how many servings come out. Each tool below owns one of those steps and hands off to the next.
Make the infusion
Decarb the flower, or start from a concentrate, and work out how strong the fat or tincture comes out.
How strong is my butter?
Flower, potency, method and fat in. Milligrams per tablespoon out, as an honest range.
How strong is it with distillate?
Distillate, RSO, rosin, hash or kief instead of flower. Answers the decarb question first.
How long, and at what temperature?
Time and temperature for a target conversion, plus what it costs you in terpenes.
How many milligrams per dropper?
Alcohol and glycerin extraction, by volume and by drop.
Cook with it
Split that strength across a batch, scale it, swap the fat, and see what each serving costs.
How strong is each cookie?
Split an infusion across a batch — or work backwards from the dose you want per serving.
How do I double this without doubling the dose?
Rescale any recipe with the per-serving dose held exactly where it was.
Is making it actually cheaper?
Flower cost in, cost per edible out. Usually the answer is yes by a wide margin.
Why did my gummies separate?
Emulsifier ratios, mold volume, milligrams per piece.
Can I swap butter for coconut oil?
Swap one infused fat for another and keep the dose per serving identical.
