Making Cannabis Butter:Discussion.

[iraboi]

BobBong,

And everyone else who has posted useful info on these forums, Thank You!

I use anywhere between 7-15 grams of marijuana per stick of butter. Yes, I make single stick batches. If the marijuana is good, 7 grams is used. If the marijuana is of poor quality, I use more.

Double boilers and Crock pots, if you have them and it is working, great, keep using them.

I have a stovetop that has a warmer pad. On the "low" setting it keeps my butter/herb/water mixture at a nice 170-180 degrees. This temp works very well for me. Most vaporizers on the market operate at around 374 degrees. So with this knowledge, keep your temps lower than this. When baking, I usually set the oven to 280 degrees and adjust my time accordingly. My brownies will bake in the oven for about and hour to and hour and fifteen minutes. Oven temperatures have been known to vary up to 50 degrees in either direction, so be safe and go low.

20-24 hours really makes a huge difference in the quality of your end product. The conversion of THC into the CBN's/CBD's really comes out. Having that heavier more pronounced high is extremely effective in relieving muscle and joint pains as well as a variety of other ailments that follow along with Auto Immune Disorders.

Portion size requires you to be safe and experiment to your needs and likes. The brownies (any store/brand/box/bag, I like the ones with the Hershey syrup packs) that I make, requires a piece about the size of your thumb (I use an 8x8 pan and yield about 36 pieces). This portion is great for daily consumption. If my pains are worse than normal I double it, but usually end up staying in the house laughing at various dust bunnies and trying to maintain some form of coherent thought.

Filtering should be an extra step to Bobâ??s recipe. This is as simple as placing your finished butter back into fresh water and melting. For example:

Heat 2-3 cups of water and bring to a boil.
Remove water from burner.
Add solid cannabutter and allow to melt.
Return pan to â??lowâ?� setting burner.
Stir frequently over the next half hour.
Place pan in fridge to solidify.
Repeat as desired with fresh water.

I have rinsed up to 3 times and found no use to go a fourth. This process has reduced the â??green/chlorophyllâ?� flavor considerably and it also lightens the color of the cannabutter. This really does work, either that, or I am just used to it that I never notice it. Try it and see for yourself.

As always, be safe, be smart and enjoy this amazing plant.

*All experiments above have been performed by me and are intended for the use and consumption of Marijuana in all forms of goodness.

(just spent 5 minutes being a dink) i'm curious what you would mean by a slow cooker.. a crock-pot kind of thing? ... It is possible, i will check and let you know. 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 Bob.:stoned: Rating: 5

Wow you make a single cube. I just made a 7 lb batch of canna butter. I did the 22 hour cook and it really is killer. It is really green and strong smelling. I used over a pound of quality trimmings that containd about 25% booger buds (too small to bother trimming) that would be smaller than a dime. If they are that small I toss them in the butter shake.

I need to try the water cleaning someday. My butter is very green and strong smelling. I made bonbons and you usually can't taste the cannabutter but with this new 22 hr batch I just made you can really taste the cannabutter.

Anyway I need to remake a batch of snickerdoodles so I can sleep like a rock.:stoned:

I made a batch of cannabutter that was a very potent, long-lasting high that one can't get from smoking. Kudos for the recipe. I will definitely make more when I can. It's amazing how wonderful the world of medibles truly are now that I am enlightened to the process.

[rudy2010]

For sure. People who buy medibles in clubs say my medibles would be rated 8X to 12X at any collective. I am almost always dissapointed in the medibles I purchase at collectives but never dissapointed in the ones I make.

I made butter last night and it was an utter success! I used about three quarters of a pound of white rhino trimmings with some buds and a pound and a half of butter. It came out to be about a pound and a quarter of butter. I made cookie brownie bars and they were simply fantastic!! Couch locked for 12 hours. I ate a 1/4 of the size of a brownie I ate last night at 11am and I am still feeling it!!! Thank you guys for all your help in this thread, happy adventures! :thumbsup:

I usually use 1 lb for each 2 oz of good shake and buds. A pound of weed should have been pretty thick with just 1 1/2 lb of butter. Did you add water too. My mix is pretty thick as it is.

[CaptainBismark]

Oh yeah a lot of water is necessary then it is just a matter of sifting. Using a cheese cloth is best with that much. After i got all the herb aside the butter water mixture i used another bowl to squeeze the liquid from the herb and that bowl produced more butter than the other because of all the water--- very potent very fantastic. I am sitting on the roof watching the lunar eclipse with a brownie in my tummie and spacing like crazy *tehee*. Good day,

Last night my niece made minature pear pies with crumb topping using chronic butter in the crust and topping. Normally I make about 50 to 60 cookies with a cup of butter and they are really rockin. But the pies had 2 cups of canna butter in just 21 mini pies. I ate one and was still high this morning. I need to cut the rest in half at least.:stoned:

[CaptainBismark]

i would love the recipe for the pies if you could get it to me ^_^

[rudy2010]

Roll out the dough and make little pie bottoms (used a large cup to cut the circles) then place in a greased (Pam) cupcake pan. Add filling to each cup. Cover top with crumb topping. Bake 300 degrees 45-50 minutes. Let cool then enjoy. Sorry some of the directions are not that specific. My niece is a good cook and can create recipes on the fly.

Pie dough
4 C flour
1 3/4 C butter
Tbsp sugar
Tbsp salt
1/2 C water
1 egg

Filling
Canned pears (two large cans) w/cinnamon flour and sugar added. Was not measured.

Crumb Topping (also not measured)
butter (about 1/2 C)
oats
flour

sugar
cinamon
walnuts
