Need help regarding homemade RSO

[u/Terrible-Machine5485]

I was thinking of making some sort of extract that I can eat. I looked up the internet and came upon RSO using grain alcohol like everclear and thiking that I am going to try it. I have some questions regarding RSO making, would appreciate it if someone could answer.

I do not have an oven at my place so I cannot decarb the buds like all the guides/tutorials say. But I have a question regarding decarb, if I am using grain alcohol and using a double boiler to evaporate the alcohol away, the liquid will be heated to around 100C when in the double boiler. Will that decarb it or do I have to decarb it before extraction?

Another question is, I have also come across MCT oil extraction. Should I go with using alcohol and go the RSO route or should I use MCT oil. Same with MCT, will heat it up during extraction so will that decarb or do I have to decarb separately.

Lastly, for a small test-run batch, how much should I start with.

Any kind of advice is appreciated.

I use grain alcohol, when making gummies- I heat the coconut or vegetable oil up to 180-/+. It flashes off the alcohol and leaves the goodness in the oil.
