Make Butter Better, the Ultimate Recipe for Cannabutter

**ColtsHigh** · 10-18-2009, 04:11 AM

it's been about 6 hours now and I took a few tablespoons of butter off the top and set in fridge. Going to try it in a minute. I'm worried my butter can't absorb all the thc. put a two full blenders of seeded bud in it with 6 sticks butter. No damn scientist but for a few bucks worth of butter I turn my homegrown into cookies friends compared to tripping.

i dont think scientists make weed cookies too, often... but they should.

im not saying that butter steeped overnight loses all potency, but you are losing thc and you are losing (any chance of good) flavor.

I also do two hours on high out of the four hrs, makes a huge difference.

but.... if its not broken, don't fix it. if your friends love the recipe, then you found your own niche and you should stay with what works for you. in my personal exp 2 high/2 low just came out better. loving the discussion colts

I'm gonna try this, I've made canna butter twice and had mixed results. your method seems to make more sense than standing over my stove whisking like a mad man!! I still gave me a buzz but was weak compared to the smoke.. so i'm sure I did something wrong. thanx + rep.

That makes sense. The lid off brownies do a little something, not much though.

thanks for checking it out, i'm sure you'll dig the edibles. they are quite potent and you really get a sense of what strain(s) are providing the buzz. edibles should knock you on your ass if done correctly

Butter turned out great again buzz wise. Taste like crap again. Always does. Does the leaves and buds need to cure and dry for 10 days or so first? Does the chlorophyll cause this freaky green and nasty taste? I don't expect yummy with the homegrown I use but would be nice to make something alot tastier! Gotta try your waterless method next time and break down and use higher fat content butter. Any hints for taste? Throw some garlic in it?

I always dry my stuff for weeks in advance, to avoid any of that. it also helps to break down the thc into the butter by getting it crazy dry. if the bud tastes good the butter should too. yeah its probably the chorophyll.

hint for taste.....strain mixture into a plastic pitcher or similar container once its cooled and solidified, squeeze the side a lil while pouring out the water, trying to get the butter out in one peice than wash that nasty shit off the bottom thats where most nasty tasts reside.... i usually dnt dry my trim b4 makin butter often tomes i will make hash than put all the wet trim from that into the crock pot and the brownies are strong, taste fine and the hash is plentiful good luck

you can use a cotton shirt to strain your weed? i thought you needed a cheese cloth/something of that sort.. something REALLY Small.

the coarser the straining material, the more plant material and butter can go into the mix. you can use anything to strain, cheesecloth is just the easiest, most dependable way. it's not really that fine though if you've ever held cheesecloth. the finer the filter, the more butter you lose.
