Making Cannabis Butter:Discussion.

[Mr.Blue]

well tonight i put 14 grams of trim into 90 ml of olive oil (recipe called for 60ml) put the oil in the pan let it heat to around 300-330 (hard to get an accurate reading with a small amount) put in the trimmings witch where finally ground. After they simmered for 15 min i strained n made the brownies, ill post back how they where when i eat them.

I've looked at several Bud Butter recipes online and have to say, BobBong's seems the most comprehensive.

The only things I am wondering about are:

1) Pre-cook: many recipes suggest you pre cook your cannabis for five minutes in the oven before adding it to the butter (converts the THCA into THC apparently)

2) Cook Times: 24 hours seems excessive and this seems to be the only recipe I can find that suggests anything more than 2 hours. What happens in that extra 22 hours to make the butter better?

And that's it!! I'll be putting on the chef's cap in a few weeks and will report back.

Question:

if i am going to use 14grams (1/4oz) should i only use 1/2 a stick of butter? to get the same results?

[mrmuffler]

last time i checked 14 grams is a 1/2 oz......

I'm making my second batch ever of cannabutter right now. I filled my Crockpot halfway with water then added 4 sticks of butter. Once that melted I added about 11 grams of high grade bud, 4 grams or so of regs and a mason jars worth of seeds and stems(with lots of bits of bud still attached). All of which I ran through my new coffee grinder. I figure I'll let it go for at least 3 hours as that is what I did last time and it turned out phenomenal. Even though I used an ounce of reg bud last time I tried I still think this batch will be a lot more potent. Will post pics and follow up later.
