i'm going to make some butter today. i have a bunch of trim. i am going to dry screen it and then just add the keif to the butter. does anyone have an idea of how much keif i should add to 1 lb of butter?

why don't you just use the trim? i would think it would be easier that way.....

how would it be easier? i just sprinkle in the keif, bring it up to temp for 30 mins or so and let cool. no mess, no hassle. have you ever tried to squeeze a lb of butter out of a pot full of trim? how much butter do you lose? how messy is it? how can you say it's easier? so you would add how much keif? thanks.

screening it would be a pain in the ass. but your right, I've never tried to take a LB of butter out of a pot full of trim. I've never screened any of my trim, I just let it dry all the way out, and make cooking oil instead, I find it more universal that butter, at least, for the shit I can find to bake. i really have no idea how much to use.....

but lets talk it out.... people usually use around a oz of good bud for a LB of butter, and generally I've heard about 2-3 oz's trim per oz of good bud. so I would take about 3 ozs of trim, and put all the keif you get out of that into the butter.

Personally I use an ounce of trim per 250g of butter and do as follows.
1. add trim to water in pan and bring to boil, simmer for 10 minutes and stir continuously.
2.strain liquid reserving all liquid(which now has all the resin in it)
3.reduce liquid by boiling down to about equal volume of butter you want to mix with ie.250ml h20 to 250g butter.
4.add butter to water stir till melts.
5. freeze.
As both fat and resin will bond nicely together but not with the water you can seperate quite easily once frozen. By just adding kief to butter you wont get an emulsified end product, so certain cooking methods will cause burning of resin.Happy cooking!

4-10 grams of kief. Just put as much as you can

ya I think about 4g per pound will prob. be about right- are you going to use the butter as a direct substitute for butter called in a recipe?

this site kills me.

i started this thread. then i went outside to my shop and sifted the trim i had. i am done. now how hard was that? i have secrets.

i'm thinking 10 grams. i will use 6 tablespoons of butter for about 24 cookies. there are 32 tablespoons in a lb. math anyone?

i topped off my jar.

now i can use the let over trim for bubble hash or butane extraction. no waste.

i think that works out to 0.078 grams of keif per cookie. sound like i need to throw in 10 grams of bubble hash as well. that would put it up to 0.156 grams per cookie.
