I don't know what u did to loose so much, I use 1 lb of real butter and add 2 sticks of margarine to it.
And I always get over a pound of budder, but I do 2 hrs Hi 6 hrs low, maybe you boiled it away??

Yeah bro could you give more info on how you did your butter?

That's a HUGE loss. I usually lose an ounce or two per pound of real butter. Did you leave the lid to the crock pot on or off? How long did you let it cool and solidify? Did you cool it in the fridge overnight? I'm really at a loss as to where it went.

It seems we over cooked it a boiled away some of the butter after all. My cousin was here helping me and I think we may have misunderstood the directions in post #1. We will be trying it again soon, maybe 2lbs of butter depending on how much the trimmings weigh after I harvest.
I followed the directions as closely as possible but for the first hour I believe we ended up accidentally setting the crockpot a bit too warm...
Thanks everyone, updates soon.
BTW, does anyone have a good cookie recipe?

Sorry your butter didn't work out bro! Hopefully it will next time. oh and for the cookie mix I just go down to the market and look through the ready made bags of mix to find the one that asks for butter not oil. Hope that helps bro, look for the chocolate chip ones they have one that asks for 1/2 cup butter in there!It seems we over cooked it a boiled away some of the butter after all.

What temp is to hot when making butter ? I just checked my crock-pot and it's at 190F. When I put the lid on it says 210F. I hope it didn't get to hot. I just put it on warm because I had it on the low setting when it got to that temp. How long should I let it cook in the crock-pot ?
You're in the right thread, now just start at the beginning - all the info is already here.

It's funny how folks ask questions and the answers are in the very same thread,
I do understand tho.
I read and read for hours to find the answers for cooking canna budder.
Really, who wants to read thru 10 pages of things for a simple answer like how much water ect.
It would be nice for the OP to put a index in the begining of their Thread.

Good point, but how long will it take for someone to answer your question compared to reading 6 pages of this thread?
This seems to happen a lot on RIU, people want the quickest easiest answer without having to do any research. I like to look for my own answers and when I can't get it then I will ask for help.

True here - in addition, I find that I get answers to questions I didn't even know I had by reseaching on my own.

Same here, I learn so much more by doing my own research, you do tend to stumble upon things you weren't even looking for in the first place.
I'd hate to get this thread of track so here is my butter a couple of days after it's been in the fridge. More than likely I will make some brownies today since I already have the mix, I'm too lazy to go out and look for the cookie mix I wanted to do...hahaha

Try this one - its really simple, tastes fantastic and most people have all the ingredients already. Its simple !!
Classic Peanut Butter Cookies
Ingredients
1 cup Canna butter
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup white sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
Directions
- Cream together canna-butter, peanut butter and sugars. Beat in eggs.
- In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir into batter. Put batter in refrigerator for 1 hour.
- Roll into 1 inch balls and put on baking sheets. Flatten each ball with a fork, making a criss-cross pattern. Bake in a preheated 375 degrees F oven for about 10 minutes or until cookies begin to brown. Do not over-bake.
Big mistake - I was hammered for hours.
Great info. I do a very similar process to make my cannabutter. I use a regular pot on the stove on a very low setting. I use 2oz of trim per lb of butter. My trim is approx 25% popcorn buds. I find the 22 - 24 hour cooking time to be noticeably better than the 8 hours I had been doing originally.
I add the butter to the pot and slowly melt it at low temp. Then I add the weed and mix it with the butter. Since I make very large batches (8lbs of butter and over 1 lb of trim and buds) the pot is more than half full. I add water until it is about 1 inch from the top of the pot. I increase the heat until I see just one or two bubbles appear. This does not take long since the mixture is so thick. As soon as I see the bubbles I cover the pot and reduce the heat to a simmer. Then I cook 22 - 24 hours.
After this the straining, cooling and draining is just like what was described in the procedure above. I measure my cannabutter into 1 cup (1/2 lb or 2 cubes) amounts in sandwich bags and store in the freezer.
When using 8 lbs of butter I was able to recover 6 lbs of cannabutter. I strain with cheese cloth then squeeze with a potato ricer. I have tried boiling the squeezed mess to try to get the remaining butter but got so little it was not worth the work. Now I just toss the little leftover hockey pucks of weed in the compost.

Also guys don't follow the directions on the bag of mix on the oven temp. You can cook out the THC while cooking the cookies. Google the temps cus I think it said 375 on the box but I am thinking that 350 is the max temp you should work with. I may be wrong it may even be lower.

that's cool for aesthetics I guess...
but this isn't hash oil, this is cannabutter lol.... you don't smoke it, you put it in something to eat...so idk if that's gonna catch on or not... not really ideal to buy the butter outside edibles...
sorry just smoked some sativaish bud so I'm rambling...as far as this thread is concerned I need to make cannabutter again but I think I need to get a crock pot that has a "warm" setting... better for the 24 hour method.
