I do the oven + crock pot method. I never weigh out the bud, but go more on consistency. I put the melted butter in the crock pot and add crushed bud until it’s no longer soupy but still easy to stir. Then I let it cook for a while, strain it, and put it in the fridge for later use. Sometimes I just melt a big chunk into a cup of hot chocolate. Just by eyeballing it 2oz per pound of butter seems at least in the ballpark. That shit lays me out. I used to do it in two extractions but now I’ve got enough larf that there’s no point. Still got plenty of jars full of nice nugs and I make a lot of shit into edibles. I used to make a lot of rosin but I don’t feel like it’s clean enough. Now I prefer either sauce or distillate, and I don’t have the equipment to make either. I still love vaping and doing bong rips of the homegrown though.

@XtraGood Here it is all done. I did it a little differently tonight. Usually I just strain it through a cheesecloth but I decided to filter it a little better this time. Here’s all the tools I used and I’ll try to explain it. I set it up like in the second pic with the colander in the bowl and the coffee filter in the colander. I scooped the butter saturated bud out of the crock and into the coffee filter, where I smashed most of the butter through with a spoon. Then I dumped the filter out onto a cheesecloth, loaded up the coffee filter again, and squeezed the remaining butter from the previous run back into the filter with the citrus juicer. Rinse and repeat until it all goes through the fine mesh coffee filter. I came out so nice and clear and dark, and should have almost no residual plant matter. I’ve done alcohol washes a few times but just evaporated it into RSO. I’d do it that way if I wanted it super concentrated for fudge or something, since I can’t make distillate or CO2 extract.

Here it's just the cheese cloth, I passed off butter making duties and the chef likes the cheese cloth. I have used a potato ricer before and it worked well enough for me. I have used those metal coffee filters before, they make all sorts of great teas too !

Do you use water too or just straight butter?

2oz/LB definitely seems like the perfect ratio for me as well

This is 4oz of lower popcorn buds from some outdoor plants in 2LB's of butter. Decarb'd in the oven inside oven bag @220F for 20mins, sit for 10mins. Add to butter/water & simmer in crock pot on low for 8-12hrs. Strain through 160u bubble bag. Sit in the fridge overnight and then separate from water.

Looks fire. I’ll have to try a bubble bag. I found that metal coffee filter when I was cleaning the other day and thought that would work really well. I didn’t have to actually touch any of the hot butter which was really nice. I only cook in the crock pot for two hours, but that’s my totally arbitrary number. Any advantage to cooking it for longer? BTW I dig your name. Makes me want to play some fallout 4.

Here it is all set up, along with the mix I’m gonna use. Of all the brownie mixes at the grocery store, this one takes the most butter. Judging by my extensive experience with controlled doses of dispensary edibles, I’d put this mix made with my butter at about 2000mg. On pan keeps me lit for days. I have bad insomnia/stress issues and this stuff helps keep my benzo consumption way down.

The bubble bag works awesome, makes it easy to squeeze out the butter.

I’ve had my edibles lab tested and it increases the potency a bit. I also feel it pulls out more terps. I love when my brownies have an earthy pine taste to them from some OG butter.

Thanks! Glad to see another gamer. Thought it was fitting for a video games/cannabis reference.

Oh yeah I’ve got this whole nerdy side where I play video games and watch/read sci-fi and fantasy. I just got off a huge Witcher binge — and I’m looking for some more melee type games like that. Jedi Fallen Order was a blast and I’ve played that through several times. I just have a PC and may need to get a console to find some more stuff like that. I really like the melee/shooter styles with RPG elements.

I’ve never thought about terps in edibles but I feel like pressing it through the citrus juicer helps get everything out. I’d assume the entourage effect works with edibles too and that terps are always a good thing.
