My second batch of butter

[spek9]

This is from my last White Widow crop... first batch of butter I made was 1.1 oz to a pound (4 sticks) of butter, this one is smaller, but is 0.7 oz to 1/2 pound.

My last treats were hugely potent, these ones I'll slice a little smaller

Last time, I chopped with scissors and threw right into the mix, this time I've ground it and am going to decarb first.



...next up when my silicone molds get here, gummies!!

if u got a coffee grinder.........or a herb grinder send it tho

how do u do yours


i know the slow cooker method with water .........what do u use

Nice work, just a suggestion as to what else you can do. Dry ice hash it ( or use the trim ) and add that to coconut oil which is available at pretty much any grocery store. Has a much higher fat content than butter which means better bonding of the THC. Also works GREAT in pretty much any edibles you can think of. The you cook that down into your crockpot or stovetop/double boiler method which id recommend at 240F using a candy thermometer for around 30 minutes for a perfect decarb. Then if using the trim, just strain it and jar it up. Makes a great alternative. Again this is only a suggestion as to other ways you can make your edible concentrates

Especially GUMMIES! (is jealous btw)

Coconut oil is good and strong but thus far (and highly reccomend) is shortening. Oh man a little bit goes a lonnnnng way. I've had it get me baked just being rubbed into my hands ( when I was wringing it out from the cheesecloth). I've used coconut oil and it doesn't compare, and like butter, it can be used in whatever. Even for melting chocolate morsels people use shortening for a smoother, creamier melted chocolate for dipping and candy making.

I've heard people claim that you get more bang for you bud using oil rather than butter.
Is this really true?

not really true IMO... I prefer olive oil for a few reasons.. last much longer less change of spoilage and oil has a much higher burning temp..

I started using a hand grinder, but then remembered I had a coffee grinder. It was used for coffee a long time ago, but figured since this is for eats, it doesn't matter if it has a hint of coffee for the first run

...and same thing, slow cooker with a bit of water, about 4-5 hours slowly stirring relatively frequently, strain through cheesecloth. Then I let it sit for about an hour on the counter, after that, she goes in the fridge overnight.

Last batch my girl used the left-over water as the base for chicken soup... just put the water in a roaster and boiled the carcass in it (had to add more plain water though first). It was fabulous.

My girl is going hard core into cooking up my product, and *really* wants to make iso-oil for medicinal purposes. We are a couple who are very, very keen on eating/injesting 100% organic where possible. We use a lot of organic coconut oil for many purposes, so coconut oil is on the radar in the short term.

I dont use my Ninja grinder anymore.. I prefer to decarb then pour the dry decarbed mj into a metal screen strainer and then grind up the MJ comes out almost like a fine powder and no stems..

then add to some peanut butter and bake for 30 mins at 250

love medibles more then smoking

well oil is really simple to make

get some everclear or good shine and soak the weed in ...........stems and buds/leaves only no seeds makes it bitter ..............it turns dark like maple syurp........then u change the weed in the bottle dump tho a coffee filter to collect the plant mater ( u send it tho 2 times 1 time with only one filter then the 2nd time with 3 filters )

u now have hashoil base ............or green tea

u add more bud the color darkens ...........afer the 3rd bud add u see a film on top start organe and all kinds of colors by then it is as strong as u are going to get it ........now take it put it in a jar and place the jar open in a warm area..............as the everclear floats of and gets the angels drunk it reduces and reduces untill it leaves nothing but some water and the oils from the plants

i been making this shit for years .............i keep it at green tea and spike my cokes when out in public (concerts and big things with lots of ppl........i sell the cup for 20 bucks if someone bugs me to much for a drink of it all the time ) ....i have 2 flask i keep loaded one for me one for the ppl i am around

Try it man, definitely worth a go.

if you really want your edibles to kick some ass...use soy lecithin in your butter.
