Butter

Hey guys

Everywhere I reAd it usually says 1 ounce of weed to a pound of butter. I weighed a mason jar full of cured bud and it was an ounce. Is this correct? I can't see wasting all that bud for some butter. I can see maybe an ounce of trimmings maybe but not good bud. What do you guys use to make strong butter?

Never made it myself, but I want to. I've read the same as you have, an oz to every pound of butter, OR 4 ounces of cured trimmings, stems, etc, to a pound. Gonna try making a quarter pound of butter soon and see how it comes out.

That's so much quality weed just for butter. It doest seem worth it to me. An oz can last me a long time but if I make butter it's gone just like that. I dont know, sounds like a waste to me unless I save all my popcorn bud for about a year, but the thc would probably be gone by then.

I hope we are just researching wrong and it doesn't take as much as we think.

i made some using veg oil, and some of my trim leaf, i used whatever amount of oil the brownies called for and threw in a little over a quarter of trim leaf and "cooked" the trim leaf in the oil for a lil over 20 mins and strained the trim out and used the oil in the brownies.....man i slept like a baby

I use an ounce of weed/lb of butter. Butter turns out great. You don't need to use primo buds... just the smaller crappier ones. I would not try using any less. I've done that and the product turns out very dissapointing. If you harvest 4 or 5 plants, your going to get a couple onces of worthless weed. Use that.

I just harvested a plant and used 100g fresh (about an oz if dried) to make butter. Eating two cookies now. Will be amazing in an hour!

I made some with an oz of dried bud to 1 lb of butter. I made brownies and apple butter bars; there is a chef on here that has several great recipes and techniques for it. Be sure to strain it about 4 times through cheese cloth.

I made some brownies last week and used 1/2oz

I grind it up and put in 1/4 cup of veg oil ,

I let it simmer and leached it for about 35 mins , then i let it cool to room temp

Afterwards i mixed it in with my brownie mix and baked em

Let me tell you what my man ,

I was fucked up for 2 days , i was so fucked up that first night that i ended up puking everywhere

I still had brownies left , i just couldn't eat em again , i ended up giving the rest to my sister

It took all damn week for my body to recuperate from it lol

Here check this link out and see how i made it

Brownie Time mmmmm !

I agree, trims and popcorn bud only.

LOL @ goten. I guess I need to add not to eat over 1 square, 1.5" x 1.5". Also (very important), don't ever cook anything with your cannabutter at over 250 degrees or it will destroy the THC and all you'll get is a shitty taste. If the recipe calls for higher temperature just cook it longer. My wife is a chef; she helped me make the brownies and apple butter bars. ...ok, she made them, not me.
