Crock Pot Cannabutter for Dummies

Happy New Year everyone!

I figured I'd make my debut post in this thread seeing as I've just made a batch of cannabutter in my Crock Pot to start off the new year...

Just made some cookies, thinkin' about rice krispies or brownies next??

I would have to say, use your butter as is, once you cook it you lower the potency from vaporization in the oven, I mix the butter into whatever I want....Just like no-bake cookies...those rock.

I suggest buying small GLASS mason jars from the grocery store or WalFart.
Plastic is extremely porous and the butter will eventually permeate and stain the plastic.
That means you're losing some to the plastic, especially when the butter is hot and melted.
The plastic can also affect the taste of the butter.
I believe glass for long time storage is best.
We do the same with our cured buds......put them in glass.

Thanks a lot !
So can I skip to the chocolate and wax part and just add some canna butter ?
I basically want canna-chocolate drops, bars, square, etc..
You see where I am going with this. lol

A really easy way of infusing Cannabutter into lets say Hershey's chocolate bars: First obtain a Double broiler, fill the bottom pan with water set on stove medium-high heat, set the 2nd pot on top of the first pot, leave the 2nd pot empty and fill with Cannabutter and chocolate, stir until mixed evenly. You will hit a saturation point and the butter will layer itself on top of the chocolate, I suggest finding the highest fat content chocolate you can (Gourmet chocolate works best). - Friendly Jake

I only ever simmer my butter for 1.5hrs and it still comes out pretty strong. I use about 40g trim/lb of butter. I made a discovery recently that takes ALL the hassle out of straining. Go on ebay or to your local health food store and purchase a Nut Milk Bag. It will cost you between $4-11 and it makes the straining process RIDICULOUSLY easy. I used to hate making butter because it too forever for the mix to strain through my cheese cloth. The NUT MILK BAG is by far the way to go for straining. I will never use anything else again. You can be done straining in a couple of minutes instead of 15-30 and with the nut milk bag you can squeeze as hard as you want unlike cheese cloth where you have to worry about it sneaking through. My butter comes out perfectly pure with not a single trace of scum and because I can squeeze as hard as I want I can get EVERY LAST DROP of buttery goodness out of the mix.

Nut Milk Bag FTW

Looks great to me. Now, where do I find one? Walmart thought I was playing with them, as did Bed, Bath, and Peons.

Making some tonight.
Here's a pound of 98% buds and 2% sugar leaves (slightly wet still, harvested 24hrs ago) .
The tote is an 18gal filled 2.5 inches deep ! lol
Making a half pound of buds with 2 pounds of butter.

My belief is that you'll lose more trichs once it's dry and ground up due to the "finger fucking" from touching/crunching and whatever gets stuck to the plastic zip lock while freezing.

Can you say....COMA-BUTTER !? LMFAO

Question: Do you measure the butter the same way when it's time to cook with it.
I.E. 1 tablespoon of regular butter = 1 tablespoon coma-butter ? lol
