    So Im actually in the process of making some cannabutter now. I used 100 grams of fresh, uncured silverhaze popcorn bud and trim with 2 cups of butter (2 long sticks of butter.) I threw in 3 grams of cured white rhino just for the heck of it....... There seems to be debate everywhere else about using fresh bud and trim. I guess Ill know soon enough. Im guessing if the 100g were dried it would weigh about 30 grams. Does that sound right? I have let the water/butter mixture simmer for about 8 hrs now stirring occasionally. So its almost straining and cooling time. Just wondering who here has used fresh bud/trim to make cannabutter and how much fresh weight you used and with how much butter? Most recipes ive found use dry weight to butter ratio so I have no clue at the moment if Im making killer butter or weak sh*t..... What u think?

    Peace,
    Skooby

    p.s. was 1 lb of butter

    Oh yeah, put it all in a blender and liquified w/some water before slow cooking the butter/liquid mixture for about 8 hours. I was very surprised of the out come. Quite possibly the strongest brownie I ever had. I would def. recommend this method if you have a lot of fresh trim and popcorn buds and would like do do something useful with it. Actually got requests from many to make some more which I did last night. Baking as we speak. Of course results will vary depending on potency of the trim/bud. Im mainly putting this info out because Before my last batch I googled everywhere and couldnt find a good recipe for using fresh trim/bud. Filtered with very Fine screen to get all the plant matter out. And a cheese cloth to squeeze the plant matter as there is still a lot of product left in there. Let it Cool a bit first before squeezing.....
    Peace,

    i'd imagine it would've been more potent had you cured it first, but no doubt its still some potent butter

    Quite possibly, This second batch of butter was equally if not more potent using the same method. I think I lost a day there with that last brownie. lol If you dont want that real strong body high I def. Wouldnt use this method. :D
    Peace,
