so im baking brownies for the third time (need avice)

[stangle12]

The first two times were relative sucsesses.
first time i made it with a half oz of kind buds (i know, i shoulda used mids)
i made 24 brownies with them, and it turned out deceant. I had to eat two, but my girlfriend went nuts over one.

the second time i made it with an oz of mids. This time they were stronger, but i used the boiling water method...dont think i did it right, i didnt strain it with cheese cloth.

So im about to bake my third time. and im debating which method to use.
i think im going to make a makeshift double boiler, and saute the butter in the top boiler...this way i know what temp its at. After that ill use cheese cloth to strain it out and make brownies witht he butter. Sound good?

has anybody made kickass brownies with an oz of mids? im gonna make 24 brownies, how many did you make/?/?

I've allways used water and whole unsalted butter. Make sure it's actual butter and not cheap margarine. after extracting the thc and straining out the plant material, give it plenty of time to cool. You should end up with the fat forming at the top and all the useless water will be at the bottom. I've foudn that when I use margarine, most of the water comes out and very little fat is left.

hey benagain, how did you strain it?

[benagain]

I've allways used a very fine strainer, but cheesecloth works great.

[stangle12]

cool, cause before i think my problem was that i couldnt get the butter out with the strainer. the cheese cloth lets me squeeze itout.

[benagain]

yea, using a strainer is a pain in the ass. you have to try and mash it all out which taked forever. when I do it again, I'm getting some cheesecloth. Roll the shit up in a ball and mash out the goodness.

[stangle12]

agreed. how much weed did you use? oz of mids?

[benagain]

The lst time we baked we used about an oz. I guess it all depends on how much butter you're gonna be cooking with. a cup of butter that has an oz of pot extracted into it should be pretty killer :thumbsup:
