35 grams? Dayum! :)
My old roommates considered me the "cook" for that stuff and I never cooked with more than 3 or 4 grams at a time.
I'd make the batches suitable for a package of Pillsbury cookie dough. So I'd use the required amount, but margarine instead of butter since it's more fat for the THC to be absorbed in, and no proteins and junk taking up space.
Ran it through a coffee filter after. It worked well.

One thing I'd wonder when using that kind of quantity is whether or not your using more herb than the butter can absorb, and then having some wastage. But if you've got tons to spare, no worries :)

I'd be curious to see if you can use a vaporizer and a tube to blow the catalyzed THC into a cold container to condense it and add the margarine after. It should be virtually odorless I would imagine :)

I no longer live with the roommates and the vape so can't test it.
I do actually think i put too much in for the fat content to absorb, i made some oil with weed, vegatable oil and a crock pot and that stuff is at least 5 times stronger.

With the oil i only add about 5ml to food, with the butter i had to put a lot more in and still didn't get the couch lock feeling. Will stick to oil in future.

Just a side note on cannabutter. If you make a lot and don't use it all right away, freeze the leftover ammt. It will turn and go bad on you if left in the fridge to long. I made 2 lbs (had a shitload of trim) and used about 1 lb of it and the rest sat in the fridge for who knows how long. But when I found it again and opened it up and took a whiff...I was gagging and tossing chunks for about 20 min:spew:

Made another 2 lbs and put 1 lb in freezer, took it out 2 months later and it was still good as the day I put it in there.

cheers for the advice i didn't know that man. What about cannaveg oil? I just keep the oil at room temp.

Can someone please tell me whats the deal with this butter the whole idea sounds gross- you've got weed smoke it up don't turn it into crazy shit WTF.
Don't knock it till you've tried it. I've had the chance to whip up some cannabutter before with some trim and it turned out great!

IMO its a completely different sensation than when i smoke it.

Had a bad turn on the veg oil last night, i decided to make some french onion soup for a starter before our sunday roast. So i fried the onions in a bit (maybe alot) of the canna oil last night and made the soup.

Had it at five and by 8 i was absolutley fckd. The only thing i could compare it to was taking acid, it just kept hitting me in wave's. Had about a hour of being shitted andfthought the best thing to do was to go bed.

Now i would say i was a seasone'd smoker, i have been at it best part 15 years, but that is the worst i have ever felt.

Just goes to show that weed can still supprise you now and again, i have to say i am a bit wary about cooking with it again. It deffinately deserves a bit of respect, i seem to forgot that along the years

In relation to making the taste go away.

1) try watercuring your bud first before you cook it

2) just reboil the butter with fresh water. the more times you do it. the more of that nasty stuff will come out. wont make it totally clear. but it's hella alot better than if it's just a 1 time strain.

good luck with that tell me how it goes

so we should let the butter cool off over night.. then add a little more water and allow it to evaporate?? have you tried this method repeatdley and how much does it help?
