When I make a batch with shake it smells far worse than with pure bud.

No one ever talks about the smell, so it's best if there's some open windows. Please take the time to wash the budder, you'll be thankful you did and I'd wash it the 3 times as suggested in the start of this thread.

I confess I'm new to making budder. My first batch I couldn't even eat the stuff I made with it. I should have gone online and didn't and threw it out. I was stupid and threw out a second batch because again I couldn't stand the taste of it. When it takes a stoner an hour to eat a piece of cake, there's a problem. By the third washing, it'll be so mild you may still have some taste, but it will be very mellow retaining every bit of potency.

I only bake with my budder. When I've washed it 3 times, I slowly melt it again and make 1/4 cup pucks with double-lined muffin tins.
