I have a ginger thread on here somewhere...couple of sweet recipes, and then the steps of my butter. Someone else suggested a couple different straining methods, but the croc pot is my FAV. ANd the GINGA.
How do you make your butter?

I figure you use unsalted cause more cannabinoids would be able to dissolve into the butter? But recently I just been using iso extracts, really potent and not much weed taste

I need to learn more about extracts, especially tinctures. I got a lot of reading to do....

'Water cure' the weed before making the butter might fix the flavour. From what I've read, a water cure wrecks the weed flavour wise, but leaves it fully potent. Don't see why it would be different with trim.
I just made my first batch of cannabutter and it turned out really well.
I do have 1 question though - I read somewhere that if you don't like the huge weedy flavour of cooking with cannabutter, if you rinse the weed you are using with warm to hot water a few times until most of the green colour is gone when you rinse, that this can take away that huge weedy taste but doesn't majorly affect the potency of the butter?.
Can someone either confirm or squish this theory for me?Thanks!

Awwwwwwwww - THANKS!Recipes generally call for unsalted butter so you can control your sodium. Also the salt acts as a preservative somewhat, so unsalted butter will be fresher. Loving your threads Yessica

Like growing, baking requires patience. 24 hour crockpot method seems to work best. Use a 3 temp. crockpot on the lowest setting, preferably one with a sealing lid.
You're trying to get THC to adhere to the butter, and salt gets in the way, hence the advice to use unsalted butter..
Get a potato ricer (google it) to get the rest of the butter out of the spent mash.
Enjoy!!

BUt yeah. My crockpot method, seems to work really good.
BUT IS THERE A BETTER WAY?

Oh yeah - but am I doing it by crock-potting the weeds with the butter?Yes YessicaDecarbing is important. You are converting the THCA into the THC that we all know and love.
Or is there some special spell I need. I never learned that in MAGIC SCHOOL!

I heard that you are NOT supposed to change your prescription of MMJ - which I am on.
BUT - in my package of meds (weeds), they have instructions on how to turn it into a salve or butter!
Pretty sweet actually!
This is in Canada though - may be different elsewhere. I know someone told me it was illegal to change your weeds from one form to another....I thought it sounded like a pretty silly rule...

I think fumble mentioned something important that didn't get addressed directly. Like her, I also clarify my butter first when using butter for cannabis products. When you clarify your butter, you're removing the water and milk solids, leaving you with a higher concentration of butterfat. So where a pound of butter makes 2 cups normally, it would be less than 2 cups after clarifying(how much less really depends on the quality of the butter to begin with).
