Make Butter Better, the Ultimate Recipe for Cannabutter

[Apache]

Hola Everyone, I followed the same recipe that I have been following but with this last batch made from Blue Berry pop corn and Trim. It was supper weak. Usually I can only eat one cookie and I am toast. With the latest batch I can eat 4 or 5 and nothing! It was very disappointing to say the least. So...After muling it over I thought I would toss the left over butter in the oven and cook it at 325F for 10mins. The next batch I made with this newly cooked butter is super strong. One cookie makes me literary trip out like eating 2grams of shrooms!

Happy new year!

5 Ounces close to bud trim with NO Stems, 5 Cups Water and 2 Lbs. Butter
Boiled 3 times for 6 hours. Looked green in the spoon, brown in the container then green once it returned to a solid. Thought I fucked it up!!!

After I make my butter, i let solidify in the fridge. Then I take it out and make a double boiler. ( kinda like melting Chocolate ). I melt down the butter and pour it into ice cube trays. Then when the trays harden I put the butter into plastic bags back in the freezer. So when a recipe calls for 1/2 cup butter I put in 4 maricubes. Works great for storage of your butter. Happy baking.

you can use a cotton shirt to strain your weed? i thought you needed a cheese cloth/something of that sort.. something REALLY Small.

LOL

unless its a fish net t shirt you should be fine.

cotton t shirt is plenty small enough. However, like someone already said $3 for cheese cloth

Thats a good idea +rep
How do you remove them from the cube trays??

 

[supernoob]

Just ground up a large paper bag of popcorn buds and they are happily soaking in vodka. Tomorrow I shall put them in the crockpot.

Set the trays in a sink full of warm water for 20 seconds or so . . . they'll pop right out.

So after making this twice, the exact same way, I have decided that phreaky needs to be knighted. Last night I put this on a piece of toast with some garlic salt and tossed it in the toaster oven. Wife ate it at 8pm last night and is still down for the count. Strong, strong, strong stuff.

 

[phreakygoat]

"knighted"!!! lol you just made my day...

 

[dirtsurfr]

Hey phreaky goat should I put my weed in the stove at 290 degrees for 15 mins. or does the 2x2hr. work the same way for THC conversion??

1 lb of butter (not margarine)
1/2 oz bud (or 1 oz of shake or 2 oz of leaf)
Grind plant material to a flour consistency. Heat in oven at 325 degrees for 4 minutes (do not overcook!!! - 5 min max!!)
Melt butter in double boiler then add your "flour". Heat together over very low heat for 10 - 12 hours. I make mine overnight. I don't ever have to add water - maybe because I have a new double boiler - cost $30 - small price to pay for premium butter every time - no muss - no fuss.

To strain, I use my French Press coffee maker. You can use a very fine mesh strainer or cheese cloth over regular strainer. I don't like using the cheese cloth as you lose a lot of the butter - it just sucks it right up. Then I pour 1/4 cup servings into muffin tins so that it is pre-measured for recipes.
I make chocolate chip cookies following recipe on the bag of chocolate chips (I use the mini choco chips and walnut baking pieces) - better for consistent product) One level tablespoon of cookie dough per cookie. 1/2 cookie is a very nice high.
Always using same proportions gives me consistent results - no guesswork

Aloha~

Making some right now...
Hope my cookies/ budder/ brownies come out as well as some of yours did.

Thanks~

hope it helps

Helps? Oh my gosh that was the best in depth instructions and you really put it together beautifully ^_^ I LOVE the pictures!!

Well, after reading this thread I figured i'd give my two cents
I actually wanted to know a few things as well.

First, I don't really have much money to begin with, so I normally make very small batches. I recently made a batch of butter using a dime of schwag (maybe a little bit more) and 2 sticks of butter, and I wanted to know if this would be a waste of good herb.

Now onto my method of cooking

I love the crock pot method, it seems to work really well, and I hope this weekend i might have a new one in my possession. The way I Cook my butter is I find a small sauce pan and fill it about half way with water. I put the pan on the burner and let it get hot but not boiling (maybe almost to boiling but not quite). Then I find a wide mouth and tall glass jar to put my butter in. I put the butter in the jar and place it in the (what should already be) warm water and allow it to melt completely stirring often. When my butter is melted I like to get it up to about 100 degrees and then I add my herb. I stir everything and then keep an eye on my water making sure to not let it boil but keep it hot. I check the temp on my butter and cook it for about 2 hours with the butter at 120 degrees. Then I strain my butter and place it in a glass container and set in the fridge to cool.

I just finished making my 2nd batch using this method, and then made some yummy oatmeal sugar cookies I'm just waiting for these bad girls to finish cooling down, and then it's ON. heh..

Everytime I try making cannabutter it tastes like shit, and doesn't get me high at all...apparently it is just super low strength or crappy or something...I don't know..but now I use my trim for Ice hash...screw butter...I just can't do it...

i can kinda taste mine in the cookies, but 1 cookie gets me a nice buzz and i can still function properly.

thats cause you dont wash your butter....your probably extracting the thc at too low of a temp

When I make Cannabutter takes me 30 mins to extract the thc.... then into the frigde til solid..... then its wash time (atleast 4 times)

 

[Franklinstein]

Nice looking butter! Can you describe your wash process please?

thx

 

[keepitcoastal]

yeah im curious of your "wash" process aswell

 

[colonuggs]

once you have made your cannabutter and it has solidified.....take your cold cannabutter put it in a jar or glass.

Get a small pan on the stove with 2-3inches of water in it and place the glass/jar of the butter in the water turn the stove on and remelt the cannabutter.

At this point add hot water to the remelted cannbutter and mix/stir the combo for 20-30 seconds.....then place the jar/glass into the fridge until the cannabuter is solid again......repeat this process until your water is clear usually 4-5 times

This is what your water will look like at wash #1 and wash #3
