Recipe Planning Notes

Who It Fits

Best for cooks comfortable with timing, yield management, and closer process control.

What To Expect

A clear, nearly tasteless oil that fills standard gelatin capsules. Each capsule delivers a precise 15 mg dose with no flavor. MCT oil is fast-absorbing, so onset may be slightly quicker than butter or coconut oil — around 30-60 minutes.

Ingredients

1x
  • 240ml MCT oil
  • Source material (amount calculated by BatchCraft)
  • Size 00 gelatin capsules (30 count)
  • Oral syringe or small dropper
  • Cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer

How to Make It

  1. 1Decarboxylate: Preheat oven to 115°C / 240°F. Break source material into small pieces, spread on parchment, bake 35-40 minutes.
  2. 2Infuse: Warm MCT oil in a double boiler to 85-95°C / 185-200°F. Add decarbed material, maintain for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally.
  3. 3Strain: Filter through cheesecloth into a clean measuring cup. MCT stays liquid at room temp, making it easy to work with.
  4. 4Calculate fill volume: Divide total oil by 30 portions to get ml per capsule. Use a syringe for precise fills.
  5. 5Fill capsules: Separate capsule halves, fill the larger half, and press closed. Work on a tray to catch drips.
  6. 6Store: Place filled capsules in a sealed container in the fridge. Label with date and potency per capsule.

Pro Tips

  • ā˜…MCT oil stays liquid at room temperature — perfect for capsule filling but means capsules can leak if stored warm.
  • ā˜…Use a capsule filling tray (available online) to speed up the process and keep things clean.
  • ā˜…Double-check fill volume with a test capsule before filling the whole batch — overfilling causes leaks.

Serving Ideas

Fill size 00 gelatin capsules using a syringe or dropper. Take with food for best absorption. Store capsules in a cool, dark place.
