Hi Moby
I hope your having a bit better luck with your capsules now. I'm still a little apprehensive as cooking for an additional 4 hours (on top of the original time), seems like it could be too long to me, especially if your crock pot is hitting 300 degrees. However, as you say, the process tends to require a bit of experimentation to nail down what works for you depending on the equipment you're using.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you.
Two last Q's, seeing as you were using much smaller caps, what sort of numbers were you getting out of each batch?
Also, why are you wanting the oil to be 'yellow' instead of 'green', or have I misunderstood?

Wow Emo, if you're paying $60 for a couple of grams you either need to give your dealer the boot or think about growing your own. If you want to keep the cost to minimum (at least until you're confident about the results), you can try making it using just half a gram and a level teaspoon of oil. Less than $7 or $8 surely?
Anyhow, to come back to your earlier Q's, your caps and oil look good to me, the cup should be fine, and I'd go with the 'low' setting first to see how you get on.

Typically, when I'm using hash I only cook it for about an hour, or an hour and a half (it doesn't need to be 'broken down' to the same degree that 'raw' plant material does). As for residue (depending on the construction method, and contents of the hash), you'll end up with a kind of brown sludge/mud that settles at the bottom of your cup. I usually give it a stir before dividing it into the caps. N.B. use every last bit in the caps.

Boy am I jealous. Last year I made some using a real strong Dutch 'nederhash' (moonshine), that sent me into 'shamanic hippie land' for 16 hours straight. Was expensive, but nothing else (so far) has been quite so explosive.

Good luck, I'm very envious.
