I made this 2nd thread to discuss the recipe rather than clutter up the recipe with questions.
Any comments, suggestions or questions about the CannaButter recipe are more than welcome

Using an ounce of cannabis and 1lb of butter we get approx. 350g's of butter more or less. That's not a lot of butter and if you cook and bake you'll know it's not easy to do it in considerably smaller quantities than what the recipe calls for. It is ideal to make it according to the recipe..and if you wish to have it a bit stronger.. than add more Cannabis.
The idea here is to make a batch of it that you can save and use when you feel like it.. whether it's over the course of a week or 3 months.It WILL be worth your time,money and effort. This much i can assure you. I personally haven't made this yet but i plan to begin it tomorrow and make a video of the key parts..it is a club certified recipe so i don't doubt the quality of the recipe.
Any kind of cook reports would be greatly welcome.. if you make this, let us know how you do :)
Cheers and happy cooking,Bob.
i dunno if it fits in here best but....
wen u are making say brownies can u just use the box stuff? or do u have to make them from scratch? and if u use the box stuff wat do substitute hte canna butter for?
EH...bob the slow-cooker crock pot thing works good, and is safer and wastes less energy....so thats good EH
I always use a crockpot to make canna-oil, set on low, for 7-12 hours. Never tried it with butter though. Me and the woman are happy with brownies, canola is cheaper than butter, and that's what the brownie recipes ask for, sooo...I use oil. Butter is probably more flexible though, for baking a variety of things. If you think an ounce is a lot, you wouldn't even wanna see how much I use to make 48 fluid ounces of oil, which is good for 11 pans of brownies. Lasts for months though. ;)
I never thought of using my crockpot ... good idea ... :thumbsup:
Yea, the recipe is for butter.. oil is a similar process but does not need to be done nearly as long.Quote:

Hey Bob.
I just thought I would say that I tried your cannabis butter recipe yesterday (I followed it very well) and it turned out to be a great success. The cookies I made with it are very potent. The butter I've tried to make in the past was NEVER this good. Thanks bunches for the recipe dude! :thumbsup:
Our first testimonial! I love it. I'm glad it worked out well for you man :)Quote:

Very glad to hear.. did you follow the recipe very closely?
If so, i'm very very happy to hear. :)
Bob
So rather than do a video just yet.. I've made a batch and taken pictures of what i did..
Check em out in the gallery!
I'm having a little difficulty here in making my tasty canni-butter. I recently took my trim and ran it through a food processor to grind it into a super-fine flour like Bob's recipe recomends. However, when I try and follow the ratio for butter to trim (about 1oz trim to 1lb butter), I'm finding that my fine-ground leaf matter seems to soak up ALL the available liquid, making me have to dump far more butter and water into the mess to give me a little moisture to simmer. When I drain, filter and press the stuff , I'm finding that the best I can get is about 1/4 cup green butter rendered from nearly 2lb fresh butter placed in the boiling pot!
Is this right? Is anyone else having problems with their leaf soaking up all the goodies and giving back very little or have I ground it too fine for cooking. It seems that I should get back more butter for all that I dump in in the first place.
PS I have the same problem when I do tincture: 2 quart bottles of Bacardi 151 to 1oz of ground trim to get 3/4 cup of Green Dragon. Danm! thats alot of 151 to dump in to start!
Sorry for the late reply.Quote:

If you're having problems with water content, are you covering the pot?
The alcohol would evaporate considerably faster than water, so i'm not sure what the problem with the green dragon would be.
You can get all the THC into your butter within an hour.
Use 1oz of trim to 1oz of butter(clarified ghee)
Drop your ghee and trim into a crock pot with enough water to just cover the leaves.
heat over a charcoal fire for one hour while stirring.
add water as nessesary to stop it drying out.
After one hour
pour the mix into a pot lined with a cheese cloth.
Lift and twist the cloth to remove all the water and butter. Use a couple of wooden spoons to help wring all the moisture out and wear heavy duty rubber gloves as this shit is hot.
Let the contents of the bowl cool.
The butter will set hard on top of the water, remove butter and throw thwater away.
DO NOT DRINK THIS WATER, IT IS TOXIC AND WILL GIVE YOU A BAD BELLY.
Take your butter, squeeze and rinse it under flowing cold water until some of the green has lightened.
You now have potent canna butter that will enhance any recipe.
i jus put butter in a micro wave dish then put that in another micro wave dish full of water and sort double boil it that or i use a double boiler
so a quarter of an ounce for 1 stick of butter. I'm going to try this out. I don't know what setting I need my stove for.
I'll figure it out tho. Is 22-24 hours necessary? can it just be 7-12?
also how do you use it on toast, would I have to toast the bread first then spread the butter, and how much would I have to use... and also was wondering if the bud strained from the butter is still useable to be eaten..
Hi everyone. I made my first batch of butter last week. I took 1 oz. of great weed, into 1 lb of butter. I had a pot of water on the stove, brought it to a rolling boil. Dropped weed in. Brought temp down to simmer. simmered for 2 hours, dropped in lb of butter simmer 2 more hours. Stirring frequently thru all this. After simmer strain and refidgerate. Was a complete success.
Hello,
I am a little confused about the amount of cannabis to use. I have made my first batch of CannaButter following BobBong’s recipe. I used just over 1oz/38gof fresh green leaf and stork. I then looked at Bob’s CannaButter photo shoot and saw the size of the bowl with ground cannabis in it and (unless the bowl is thimble size) is a whole lot more than 1oz or Bob’s cooking a ton of butter!!
Questions:
Should I use dried cannabis plant material?
Is it better to use fresh?
Remembering that I am using this for pain control, am I still using too little plant material?
Is it OK to use the stork?
Notes:
I have managed to replace a 5,000mg a day Paracetamol habit with 30g of CannaButter. I am hoping to come off my Diclofenac next.
Don't get hung up on specifics.... dump a pile of leaf and stock (with a few buds) into a pound or two of butter, add some water to keep the greens covered and stick in a slow cooker for a few hours.....(I'd say 6 minimum and 22 max) Strain it and squeeze the hell out of the cloth (clean dish drying cloth works in a pinch).... it all works.
And Jazzboy... don't use 2 quarts of 151 for green dragon, try 2 ounces with one oz weed. You only need a few drops to do what several shots of yours would do. If you want to make some totally knock down peanut butter cookies add some green dragon into the cannabutter once it's melted.....Couch locked for 20 hours.....
Well, here we go - 1st shot at Cannabutter. Tks for the recipe bobbong, can't wait to try it!
Unfortunately I don't have a coffee grinder, so I just busted it up as finely as I could by hand, to get most of the stems and break up the budlets, and then ran my Braun hand mixer through it for a few minutes..I used about 40 grams of sugar trim/popcorn buds, 5 sticks of butter and 2 1/2 cups of water - keeping the same approximate proportions methinks I should be ok, and I upped the bud quantity for better performance and to make up for the non grinding factor..
20ish hours to go!
I musta missed the part that mentioned the smell - :( P-U! Glad I live alone!
All done - it looks like the pics I've seen, so I think I did it right - we'll find out soon.
Mission - Creamy Broccoli Tuna Helper
Substitute - 4TBS cannabutter for 4TBS butter, garnish with little budlet sprig
Result - WOW!
I could taste there was SOMETHING different, but I don't think I could have picked it out. The broccoli flavoring really covered up any weed like tastes, and added/masked the color. Ate about 1/2 a package (1 big bowl - pkg serves 5 HAH!) at 8:15 last night and was soaring by 10:30. Totally spaced out, watching tv, realizing I haven't hit the bong in hours was amazing. Just a puddle in the couch all night, super couchlocked. Went to lie down at midnight and played Nintendo DS for a few hours, still majorly buzzed when I decided to goto sleep at ~ 3ish..Sleep came real easy. Too easy..... I promptly woke up at noon - WAY overslept.
Huge success - this stuff works great! Thanks again for the recipe Bobbong!
thats beautifulQuote:

To the left are the leaves, and to the right is whats left of the buds, which I would say are pretty dank, but not the best I've ever had.
I just don't want to waste my buds on brownies that will be weak anyway. This being my first time attempting to do anything but smoke buds, I wouldn't know the proportions.
how much oil will i need if i use one ounce of marijuana?
When I make brownies, I use betty crocker or something like it. They are just as good to me and a lot less hassel.Quote:

After they simmered for 15 min i strained n made the brownies, ill post back how they where when i eat them.
I've looked at several Bud Butter recipes online and have to say, BobBong's seems the most comprehensive.
The only things I am wondering about are:
1) Pre-cook: many recipes suggest you pre cook your cannabis for five minutes in the oven before adding it to the butter (converts the THCA into THC apparently)
2) Cook Times: 24 hours seems excessive and this seems to be the only recipe I can find that suggests anything more than 2 hours. What happens in that extra 22 hours to make the butter better?
And that's it!! I'll be putting on the chef's cap in a few weeks and will report back.
El Fantistico :smokin:
2-1/2 sticks butter clarified
1 ounce reggie(given to me)
Ground with hand herb grinder
12hrs crockpot on low.
strained with cheese cloth.
ended with 3/4 cups solid butter(1-1/2 sticks)
stone report on that ? if it's good then im makeing the same but with an oz of good weed.:jointsmile:
idk what gets me about these bubble bag extractions and budder recipes lol im just afraid of wasteing good quality smoke.. but i need the better quality smoke because i smoke so dam much of this.
Question:
if i am going to use 14grams (1/4oz) should i only use 1/2 a stick of butter? to get the same results?
last time i checked 14 grams is a 1/2 oz......
I'm making my second batch ever of cannabutter right now. I filled my Crockpot halfway with water then added 4 sticks of butter. Once that melted I added about 11 grams of high grade bud, 4 grams or so of regs and a mason jars worth of seeds and stems(with lots of bits of bud still attached). All of which I ran through my new coffee grinder. I figure I'll let it go for at least 3 hours as that is what I did last time and it turned out phenomenal. Even though I used an ounce of reg bud last time I tried I still think this batch will be a lot more potent. Will post pics and follow up later.:D
I take the clippings from the plants and boil that in water and add the butter then drain it and press out all the oils left in the leaves and such. makes great shit. im talkin green tinted butter.
How long do you leave the mixture on the heat for?
