Making Cannabutter: To use water or not to use water?

My question would be...

What do bubbles have to do with any of this?

The butter will absorb the THC in an hour at 190 degrees.

If you boil your trim a second time I would think you will have even more green to deal with.

I used a crock pot the first time I made butter. I let it simmer for 4 hours and had some of the greenest butter I have ever seen and it stank up the house. After the butter cooled I put it into a pot of fresh water and heated it again. After letting it cool again it was just a tad lighter green and still tasted like crap! It did work but there was no way I was eating that again! It reminded me of the cookie I got at the dispensary... Yuck!!
I tossed the whole pound (minus enough to make a cookie) of green butter in the trash and started over. Running the trim through the bubble bags takes less time than boiling trim in watery butter. One table spoon of fresh bubble in a pound of butter will give you the best flavor hands down and takes less than two hours to make. It will also knock your socks off!!!

Any how.. That is my method. Everyone I have given free samples to have asked for more.

The bubbles is decarboxylation. CO2H bubbling off,
if you dont know about the bubbles you are missing out.
I could not see myself processing my material down to resins heads and then dumping it in cannabutter, and then giving the butter away as freebies. I would just keep the hash since its worth way more. How much is a tablespoon of fresh bubble anyways? How much trim does it take to make that 1 tablespoon? When you cook your hash in your butter it doesnt bubble? If you bring it up to 250 you will see what I am talking about happen before your very eyes.
This diagram shows that 60 minutes at 180-190 will get to about 30%-50% of its full potential, as far as potency is concerned. But some people may not want such a strong effect.

At 190 degrees there are bubbles! It's called boiling!! You also have to take into consideration that the butter will be used for cooking which will heat it above those numbers such as 400 degrees for cookies!!

It takes around an ounce of trim to get a tablespoon of bubble. A pound of Budder goes for $200 so no waste there as I am not in it for the money!

I am a very generous person. It's not uncommon for me to hand out an ounce of buds or a nice chunk of hash or the budder at no charge. Nobody leaves my house without a bonus bag, it is how I stay within my on hand limit! The free samples are how I get my product known.

Prove to me you have cancer and I will supply you with all you want at no charge!! It's how I roll!!!

Thanks for posting that chart, I have seen it but others might not have. ;) :peace:

Whats boiling at 190 degrees? Water is 212, but I dont think you use water. So are you boiling the plant material or the butter?

Sorry for the late reply!

No water just the butter and bubble! I bring it to a slight bubble/boil and hold it there for the duration.
