How to Decarb Fine Plant Material at Home [2021 Guide]

The chart above gives critical information for accurate decarboxylation, time, and temperature. Once heated, the acidic compounds convert into their active form. But in the meantime, some of those active compounds also degrade into other compounds, which do not deliver the intended effect.

That's why ECRU Decarb Kit and Activator are so important for making infused treats. They give scientific control to bring out the maximum strength of your herb. Below is the preset mode embedded in all ECRU Decarboxylators.

Method using ECRU Decarb Kit

Step 1: Calibrate Your Oven

1. Set your desired mode using one of the 4 preset modes, depending on the target compounds you are working with.

2. Preheat your oven with the sensor probe before decarb. Make sure you DO NOT place the LCD display in the oven.

3. Check your oven temperature. If the temperature reading on the thermometer differs from your oven setting, raise or lower your oven temperature to compensate. For example, your setting is 260°F, but the thermometer reads 250°F, which means your oven is lower than your preset temperature. For decarb, you would increase your oven temperature.

NOTE:It's common for your oven to fluctuate by + 30°F and – 30°F. That's because oven cycles turn on and off for a total range of 60°F.

Step 2: Decarb Your Herb

1. After preheating, spread herb evenly in the glass pan, and press the silicone lid top down on all sides to seal.

2. Insert the temperature probe into the socket on the right side of the device.

3. Bake on the center oven rack for even heating. Do NOT exceed recommended durations.

4. When you put your decarb box with herbs in the oven, your glass pan will take some time to reach the desired temperature. The preset timer will start the countdown once the preset temperature has been reached. Once the process is done, the alarm will sound.

Method using ECRU Decarb Activator

1. Load the canister up with herb. The max capacity of the canister is 2 oz.

2. Put the cover lid onto the aluminum canister and lock the activator.

3. Power it up.

4. Press the TMP to select time and temperature. Press to adjust time and temperature.

5. The decarb cycle will start in 10s automatically once the mode is set.

6. Once preheat has been completed, the countdown will start automatically.

7. When the process is completed, the device will sound a "beep."

Note: Ensure your herb is completely dry; otherwise, the lid will open during decarb.

After the herb is decarbed, simply spread it on top of your food, make it a capsule, or soak it with alcohol of your choice. Serving options can be creative and numerous. ECRU gives you every option to bring herb into your daily lifestyle.
