14% fat butter? Why? THC is fat soluble. You need the fat to adsorb the THC.

For how much butter he has there, 14% is PLENTY to absorb the THC. But i suspect that has something to do with the texture...

Use unrefined organic coconut oil. You want the highest fatty content for the cannabis to be absorbed into. That's the only way. And oh yea, decarb your material first....

Really it's not. Coconut oil has around 65-68 % fat content that the cannabinoid will bind too. Just saying.

dude we are talking of miligrams of thc to ounces of fat. Its enough. I bond 14 grams of hash oil to 2 liquid ounces of vegetable oil NO PROBLEM.

Gee that's funny, cause I read the original post as using 14% butter fat. I didn't see where he stated milligrams or even a ratio of weed to butter for.that matter. Which is it @Mybabyjustine?

"I bond 14 grams of hash oil to 2 liquid ounces of vegetable oil NO PROBLEM."
That explains why you are so confused.

Ok homie, but 2 zips of trim in CCO, properly decarbed will have 5 times the benifts of using a 15% fat butter. Have you ever even made edibal oil before?? Cause you sound rather ignorant on the subject. Gawd, do some fuckin research, or maybe actually do it for yourself. Like I have for years.

How would it have 5x the benefits? At 10% content, two ounces of trim is 5.6 grams of thc to absorb. You really think you need pounds of fat to absorb 5.4 grams? Again, I have bonded 14 grams of hash oil with 2 liquid ounces of vegetable oil no problem. Why do you think you need so much fat?

I was confused by the “14% Fat Content butter”. Most All butter is 80-85% fat. That’s what makes it so good. The 14% The OP mentioned came from the % daily value on the label. I thought it was some low fat butter substitute they were using. So yeah plenty of butter for that. It almost looks like the butter curdled or separated.
What method did you use to make it?

Butter is plenty fatty enough for that amount of trim. If your trying to dissolve a huge amount of thc from a ton of trim other oils technically “can” hold more. But op is way far from that. I believe the crumble might be coming from water content...like top loader asked...how did you make it and with dry or wet material.
