if the recipe calls for oil just use butter. or you can learn to make the oil just to learn. but from experience if the recipe calls for butter and i have oil ill just sub for or if it caller for oil and i got butter same shit. works fine, never ran across any problams... this is just my opinion, im no pro.what if i dont have that coconut oil.. can i use regular oil? how bout if i just heat up the oil/keif mixture for 30 min or so and not use water? one more question.. ive seen butter made and she didnt strain out the weed from the butter. does it really matter if you strain out the plant material? what about keif? would you even want to strain that out?
