I've never actually used trim, i hash out my trim then make butter. Just dissolve the hash into the butter and simmer for a while. never done anything else. Last batch worked out to about .5G's hash per cookie and knocked heavy smokers down, but it was a creeper..lol..good stuff.
Hash butter is awesome. However .5 is. Huge dose! That's a super active dose for just buds. .1 or .2 of hash should be equivalent to .5 of buds. Did you decarb your hash. It's even more important in hash edibles than bud.
Okay so i am new to cannabutter and decarbing. I feel overloaded with different information. I want a guide on a process that won't take longer than a couple hours to do if possible. Should i decarb the bud before making cannabutter? What's the space for mistakes when decarbing? And a good way to make the cannabutter would be appreciated! Thanks for any help!
Also to the op.
decarb does happen slightly during cure process
However. For edible we must fully decarb because it will never be activated by a lighter(like smoked buds). 125 for 45 minutes is my method. But usually do a qp or so at a time so could be less with smaller amounts.
Also. After buds are decarb we want 208f for extended time to transfer into butter/oil. If useing butter always clarify first. IMO coconut oil is by far superior to butter.
Set a double boiler because adding water directly into oil and bud will change molecular makeup. The h2o will make it much more difficult for thc and others to transfer to fatty substances.
Crock pots can work. But often remove much impurities and the edibles Taste like ass.
So best method nice and easy
1. Decarb
2. Double boiler set up with butter/ oil
3. Add decarbed product to simmering double boiler. I use w candy thermoset and when the temp gets to 210 I continue for 4 hours.
4. Strain through cheesecloth.
5. And like magic the best medicine is ready! Use right away or store in refrigerator.
Good luck. Medibles are amazing. Active doses for my recipe are .5 grams.
