According to Bobong's recipe, it takes between 22-24 hours to cook 1 lb of cannabutter with 1 oz of grass. I am cooking 1/4 lb of butter with ~1/4 ounce of the herb. The rate of reaction might stay the same, but wouldn't the time, dealing with less reactants, take a shorter amount of time to cook? Any information would be greatly appreciated as I am currently at work on the project. Thanks all!
I don't cook mine that long. I put the weed in the oven at about 200 degrees for about an hour to get it good and dried out. Then put it through the coffee grinder, then into a pan with canola oil and let it simmer for about 30 minutes.
Temps play a role, and you are both correct.
When I use a crock pot on low, I leave it overnight, and then PRESS all the butter out of the herb with a potato ricer.
When I use the mason jar method- put the weed in a mason jar with butter and water and immerse up to the shoulders in simmering hot but not boiling water, I give it 30-40 minutes and then squeeze it out.
