I am following the steps for cannabutter in growfaq.
http://www.rollitup.org/view.php?pg=...article&id=313

I have a crockpot with butter and water going.
I have 3 plant stalks and the leaves from 1 plant.
I also ground up 3 buds for good measure.
Under 15 grams altogether I would think.

I plan to let it go for the recomended 3 hours.
I doubt I will be up the whole time.
I have the crockpot on high right now.

I plan to add a lil more water and leave over night on low.

I will freeze the solution after straining in the morning.



I will report back with the results.

is this your first time making bud butter hop its really good man.

Iv been making butter for a long time with my gramps we made a press to press the butter out. i will take a pic and post them in my gallery pic when we press it out the leaf and bud are almost dry we also use a cheese cloth to rap it all up then we press it well if you need some help

hop your butter kicks ass man

Hey olds
How and why are you pressing the butter?


Ok I added more butter and more water.

I am getting ready to strain it all here in another hour.

I could not find cheese cloth.
Gauze from my first aid kit looks like it will work.
I have unfolded the gauze and then folded twice over a plastic cup.

^^^ Necessity...The Mother of invention.^^^

Anything to get the job done. Always amazed at a Stoner's ingenuity.

Buttered up and stoned.
nice nice nice

heres how i make bud butter first a take two one pound cubes of butter and i melt it down then i use a potato masher to mash in all the buds, stems, and leafs in the pot mash it down until theres just a little bit of the butter comes threw oh yha i forgot i dont put the burner on full just half way or not even just enough to melt the butter and to start to turn it green i dont want it to boil boiling axe like a veperizer and we dont want that then i put it all in the freezer for 24 hours to push the rest of the butter out of the buds, stems, and leafs

i then heat it back up to just about boiling then i press it the reason i press it is to get all of the butter out theres a lot of hidden butter in the stems, buds, and leafs this will be the strongest bach i get abought 95% of the butter back by pressing it then i throw all the buds, stems, and leafs back into the pot with two or three cups of water then bring to almost boiling then press it agin and you will get more butter back but not as strong as the first press then i put it in the freezer out separate

i will post a pic of the pess and butter this afternoon


well let us know how your butter came out

It came out very nice.
It seems to stay with you for quite awhile.

I probally used too much butter though.
The butter is more yellow than green
The plant taste is faint.

Tastes mostly like butter.

I have used it on toast and a bagle so far.
Trying to think of something to use it to cook with.

cool well glad to here it came out well

well like i said i posted the pics of the press in my gallery i also put some pics of my butter in too the smaller container has a lighter color peace on top of the 1s press wich is darker the bigger container has both mixed up i also put my butter in the new bach instead of fresh new butter cubes that makes it so strong and ever time you do that its stronger

Ahh shit.
So you really do press it.
Looks like a mandrale or an old clothes ringer.

Have you tried using it for hash?

Ahh the brewers secret.
I have heard cheese makers and beer co.'s do that.

Thanks for the info olds.

yha i made this one from chevy valve springs and some extra metal laying around the house and two rubber rollers

no i have not tried to make hash with it but it makes some powerful butter
