Help with cannabutter

The water is to clean the unpleasant taste from the extraction. If you use a crockpot and leave the lid on then you pretty much don't have to worry about the water evaporating but you should always be aware. This is a good process if you're going to use the butter pretty quickly but it goes rancid faster. Keep it in the freezer for storage.

After you've finished your processing you'll strain all the liquid from the plant material the best you can. A good thing about using water is that not as much of your infused butter is left. After you've strained it, place the liquid in a bowl or jar or whatever and stick it in the fridge over night. The butter will form into a hard green puck on top with the gross water underneath. Remove the puck, toss the water, turn the puck over with the water side up and scrape off the sludge left behind. Now you're ready to cook.

Decarb your material first.

 

I think you're doing it the best way. The water removes so much of the bad tasting stuff.That's how I made my first cookies and I've never had better. Enjoy!

 

Crockpots are unregulated and the worst choice for making cannabis oil.
Water contaminates the oil and isn't needed or wanted IMO
Why do you need a whole pound of butter ??
----------------------------------
Decarb 240 F for 40 minutes (weed on a cookie sheet in the oven)
5 grams well powdered bud (decarbed)
2.5 Teaspoons Coconut oil
.5 Teaspoon Lecithin (optional)
Heat 220 F for 20 minutes
Done
Freeze (optional to further soften the weed particles)
Heat 220 F for 20 minutes (optional if you froze)
Capsulize or add to the oil called for in any baked good.
Makes about 30 big doses 50mg with weed. More like 100mg with hash.

No water, No crockpots, No trying to separate water from butter.
Lasts far longer as butter will go rancid over time while I've yet to see coconut oil do anything. It's a far more stable oil.

This makes a tablespoon of very potent oil that carries a good 30 doses to start with say 6 drops worth. Better to need just a touch then eating a 1/4 pound of butter unless your trying to put on the pounds.
My 2 cents.

I'd rather do it your way, BNW, but don't have your resources or ingenuity. Maybe making butter in the crock pot with water is old school, but has served me well. I much prefer cooking or making tincture with concentrates, but five grams of hash or kief is a lot for me and your stuff is too wickedly potent for baking. Sometimes I just have an ounce to make some cookies with.

 

If you use water you don't use lecithin. It'll homogenize the oil and water together and you won't be able to separate them. We've had folks make that mistake and it was a semi disaster.

The same base recipe works equally as well with powdered bud and the short cooking time makes it as get up and go as it gets. Long cooks make it to sleepy for my daytime use.
Can scale the recipe up or down as needed. We do use the same hash oil for baking when requested as food. Since I know it's strength I squeeze empty one 100mg capsule into a tablespoon of plain Coconut oil and work from that.

If I'm gonna leave it in over night I use the fridge. If you freeze it don't use a jar where the opening is smaller than the base of the jar. Good luck, enjoy! Oh, it will be far more potent if you don't strain! Not as tasty, but more potent. At 15% THC in your trim out of 20 grams you will have 3000 mg, or 750 mg per half cup of butter if you don't strain. Staining will reduce that by about 1/3.

 

U cant put to much water in there. But if u dont stir and keep enough water in there u will burn it. Put crock pot on low for 4 hours

Don't use the freezer.

 

There should have been water separation if you didn't freeze it, if you had enough water in it. Should have had a cup or two unless it all evaporated on you.
