Cosmetics?

That, and purity. Look at the pics. Each time the water is clearer. As I understand it, that's dirt and plant material that is coming out of the butter.

I've tried samples of each "wash" result and the cb tastes better each time: milder, smoother, more subtle.

Have not done that yet.

And do not discard the dross.
Put it in a sieve and pour boiling water through it as a rinse.
That will recover some, but not all.
The only way to get the rest of it, and some more resin as well, is to wash it with a solvent like ethanol and then evaporate the solvent."

Sounds like something I do NOT want to try in a small apartment kitchen.

I've noticed.

I'm not a chemist, but my anal-retentive accounting soul wants to be able to quantify this, and I am frustrated.
Old Guy in Stanton Reviewed by Old Guy in Stanton on . Experiments with making cannabutter I've mentioned elsewhere that I recently got 22 oz of leaves from a "friend of a friend." (I had expressed some worry concerning the amount, and whether it was "sanctioned" marijuana but have since seen the MM user/grower/caregiver certificates of the people in question, so everything is "cool"). I've been doing some experimentation with that 22 oz of now ground-up leaves. Here's the basic story, so far. Experiment #1: 1) Using 4 oz of grind with one pound of butter. 2) Grind, Rating: 5
