How To Make Cannabutter [W/ Pics]

i have 3.5g of high quality keif that i've been saving for months, and i would like to cook it properly. I have sifted all noticeable plant matter out that might have gotten in thru the screen of my diamond grinder. I want to make some yellow cake. or some brownies. or something of awesome quality. I have a crock pot, tub of butter, wooden spoons, and time. HELP ME OUT PLEASE.

If i may throw in my 2 cents. i'm a culinary school graduate and edible vendor to patients and co-op's here in california since 1996.

For the most potent edibles. rule #1 is use the least amount of butter or oil to trim as possible. you can use a crockpot for 8-12 hours on low or a nonstick skillet or sauce pan on med/low for 1 hour on the stove and get the same exctraction... BUT......

Why do all that? just turn your trim to hash, i prefer BHO cause it's so easy, just make sure to purge it and get it nice and clean to where it's hard like glass, if it's oily it will still work but it's not pure and who wants to ingest butane left overs.

Just infuse your bho or bubble hash into butter or oil and cook with that. Dosing is easier and you know 100% you extracted all the thc, you can see it!! opposed to the trim/butter extraction where you always wonder if you extracted thc and how much.

I have a guy who sells me bubble hash for 10 a gram direct from grower so it's easy for me to bake now, i just dissolve that hash into whatever medium i will be cooking with. each edible needs about .3 of hash for a powerfull high. thats like $3 per edible and it's like triple strength of co-op's, they use .1 of hash most times..

pm me for recipes or any additional help.. i'm very high so i probably made a few vital errors in explaining myself here

oh and kief is the same as hash, just toss it in the butter you're good to go cook with it. i make a great caramel kief that i swirl through my hash based ice creams

should I add it all or not? I dont know how potent it will be. I dont want to fall right asleep. I want to enjoy myself. I just got back from tha store nd im cleaning up the kitchen im about to jus wing it here soon. I want to be baked and ready by tomorrow.

Thanx for the post of this topic. It will come in handy after my trimming is done. I plan on putting in like 20-30g per 1 stick also. I too want to get FUKD UP And if possible Ill just use ALL my trimmings in on batch of butter (1 stick). 6 plants should get me a nice amount of trimmings.

But the neszt and hardest question is, What to make with the one stick??

Hey guys quick question, I have a quarter and i want to make cookies. would that be enough for like some decent cookies ?>..

im about to go out and my my butter to melt down with some trimmings, but i know people say to use REAL butter, not margrine or whipped butter or icant belive its not butter LOL, but what about do i choose the "salted" or the "unsalted" butter.
And does anybody recomend a certain type of butter to use??

+rep and bookmarked

unsalted my friend.
you in uk ?

Nope, Sorry. Im in the US New York.
But I just bought the reg WalMart Brand GV Unsalted Butter. I also bought a coffee grinder, it was just about 20.00. It works REALLY GOOD. Grinds that shit into dust almost. And you lose any weight either. I ground mine up and weighed it before and after the grinding and at always weighed the same beofre and after. At most I would lose .1 gram. my scale doesnt go any lower. At that was grinding about 5 grams at a time. But I have about 14.5 grams of some FINELY ground up stuff. I plan on melting down only 1.5 stick of butter and hopefly should get back about a sticks worth, but IDK. Andhopefuly i should be able to make up a batch of choclate chip cookies with it. Maybe ill even take a small bite out of the butter and see what its like
But im about to start this now. i just wanted to came back really quick to reread these directions.
Thanx again for making this post, wish me luck

Also i just noticed their is no mention of string it while it simmers. how ofter would you stir it, or should it even be stired.
Casue when i pored it in the water it all stayed dry on top of the water, unless i stired it a little. but i waited till it just started to boil a little and i stired it a little. but ill probably check on it every hour and lift the top and give it a quick stir or something.

awesome thanks for the info

well the point is the water is too stop it burning and also because alot will evaporate so use water and that will evaporate instaed of all your butter. leaving you with more

well thats sad because if you butter burns so will thc, and that is why yo dont boil it and best to use is a doubble boiler type set up fo the best results!

alright i am personally trying this method right now as I type, im 2.5 hours into the simmer, a simmer is the smallest little bubbles right?any lower like i mean even a smidgen it just sits calm like a glass like. the heats on min so ya i dont think ill burn any weed i got decent amount of water and exactly a stick and a quarter, 24 grams of bottom bag, shake , leaves, etc from old bags of weed and leftover joints. I also bought the exact same cookie kit he did so i really hope this turns out. Im not sure if im going to go the full 6 hours probably 4 like he did. and i dont have a cake pan only a baking sheet so im gonna do the best i can in makin it one cookie. if the edges burn ill just cut it off no biggie if i get stoned once out of this it will all be worth it!!

is this post aimed at me? if so ....A) i never said i boil my butter but i lightly simmer (i assume you now the difference). B) i dont know what a double boiler is. C) i do my butter the same way everytime with just trim and always ALWAYS get put you to bed butter. D) if you just put butter in a pan with plant matter (like he said) then how long do you suppose you can leave it on the heat unattended for? (considering the process takes several hours) ...........well not very long i tell you!

wow its finally starting to harden up. its ten minutes to 2 where i live and i started this at 8 this morning and simmered for 4 hours. then been in the freezer and fridge since

okay so the cookies will be out in less than 5 minutes, i cant wait!!. i tried eating some butter on a crakcer and puked in the sink and again in the bathroom. cannabutter is single handedly the grossest fucking thing in the world lol
