Making Cannabis Butter:Discussion.

[theforthdrive]

damn, some of your butter look great. this is an old one i had before i moved. i never even made it half way thru this before having to discard it because of the move! The chunk is see missin is the amount it took to make a full batch of knock down edibles! (tear) and now im too lazy to make more!

Oh shiznit man, that's some sick green butter. Did you make it from trim and 'popcorn'?
That is giving me the munchies just LOOKING at it!

[NaughtyDreadz]

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.

Been a long time since I was in forum-land, just been working on some cooking lately & trying to figure this all out.

Bob, I made cannabutter this week, using your recipe. The only adjustment I made was to cook for 6 hours, since I read in several other places that cooking it more than that causes the THC to get burned off.

I made the butter into red velvet cupcakes, & even 'spiked' the cream cheese frosting (the recipe called for butter). The taste is actually quite good! You can definitely taste the weed, but in a yummy sort of way. Baking is a hobby of mine, so I had some good ideas about flavoring to compliment that, & they worked well.

The problem is that there's NO potency to these things whatsoever. You could eat all 24 cupcakes, & I'm pretty sure not catch the remotest buzz at all. (

I know we're not to get 'hung up on specifics', but before I waste the other 4 oz I have dedicated for butter, I think I'd actually prefer some specific info.

Does anyone know what temp the butter should be kept at while simmering? By temp, I don't just mean "low". I mean, if there is a known temp at which weed loses the THC, what is that temp? I have a candy thermometer to measure the temp of things cooking on stovetop... but a week of googling hasn't turned up what temp I would need to watch for. Please, help!

For the record, I did keep the butter on "low" heat the entire time. It'd just be nice to have a more specific measure of temp. I just wasted an ounce of decent shake & popcorn, & that is just not a happy experience. Thank you to any & all who can help!

my grandpa has lung cancer and he can barely eat anything, so much that he is in the hospital right now. he should be out tomorrow and i want to do something to make him feel better. obviously he can't cmoke, but will the butter still make him hungryer?

I think I like stinky's hot wash extraction method the best but I have a question.
If I don't have a cheese cloth can I use a regular paper coffee filter or plastic strainer that I'd use for noodles/mac n cheese??

[FourTwenty4Life]

nevermind...coffee filter was fine, came out great!

[FourTwenty4Life]

The filter worked but need suggestion for if you don't have a cheesecloth. I know my straining can be improved. Any help please?

Found the answer off site. Nevermind.
