Does anyone make butter out of sift? I seriously cannot find much on this...I think it would be great but I have some questions, before I spend time on this.

easy to do...warm the butter and put the herb in some cheese cloth...sit on warm for a few hours stirring now and then,, loosely in a cheese cloth bag as well.
an oz of flower to a pound works well :) with out sending people to the clouds .

put the sift in the bag
anything oil soluble will works it way into the butter with out any issue.
Squeeze the bag when you are done after a few hours.
Anything that wont melt from the sift doesnt have any value anyway.

gb, is that enough to decarb it, or do you decarb the sift first?

Bone dry is said to be decarbed!

people dont realize that heat only speeds up the process but is not needed for a plant to be decared.
now..any in active thc that maybe there will be decarded when heated anyway.
Id keep it at 225 for the couple hours to make sure.

Why do I have to put it in cheesecloth? It's trichs, not plant material?....Asking not arguing And decarbing always always always.....I think the temp/time combo might be different than whole plant material.

I dont know how pure your sift is..
I figured you didnt want the plant material that is in that sift as there always is unless you take it right down ,,,,,
if it is nearly pure and sticks together easily..
...add about 5 to 7 grams of your sift to a pound of just melted butter
...mix until you think its mixed and melted
let harden again
and your done.

you should be able to add dry sift right into the butter
you just won't need as much starting material or sift than you would with using the whole bud material...
I would use gb's method above...

I'm not worried about a little bit of green...my concern is decarbing and dosing too high....and it does stick together easily...I have what I can only describe as a trimming machine clean out....I have loose chunks of trichs mixed in with the nicely cut up green and it is sticky as hell...and smells really good!

no matter what you have...
melt the butter and toss in the 5 to 7 grams I said and melt it up into the butter

this amount wont make people discombobulated..but will add t your daily dosing if thats what you are looking for


why do you want to do this again?
it would help to know what you are dosing for? Pain..etc...

Whatfg,

I make all my edibles using sift or bubble instead of trim or bud - it makes a much less flavour positive product that is easier to mask.

For dosing I adjusted my canna-coconut oil to 20% of the cannabis portion. I.e. 30g flower into 150g oil becomes 6g sift:150g oil(or butter)

As for preprocessing, I usually soak the hash in an ounce or two of everclear (global 92) then decarb while I evaporate the alcohol. From there add the hash to the oil. I personally re-process in a crockpot for 6-12 hours however it's probably not necessary if you are in a hurry.

I too am stepping in that direction....thinking of reducing the vast majority of the next crop into drysift.
though I don't have any breathing issues I just can not medicate enough by smoking alone any longer.
With pain meds becoming the devil...l I'm kinda forced to look deeper into the alternatives and fine tune
it ,so I can still function verbally on the phone....for work , whether or not I am able to walk will not matter as much...
I was just hit with a seventh medical condition .. diagnosis and have moderate carpal tunnel in both wrists
forcing me to wear braces for the next 14 months or have surgery (this one I really did not need,since its a moral buster)
to go with a bunch of other ailments...
we will have to exchange some recipe's or methodology.....if you hit on something that works really well...

that was My thinking on it too.
Having already made oil as a back up would go along way,towards making a person feel
more than covered for medication
I am also hearing about a friend or relative getting cancer about every 6 months or so...
and have only been able to help out one time...so far...the others did not last long enough
