I use a potato ricer for the final squeeze. Works great

I never heard of one before, what is a potato ricer?
I have a pan of brownies cooling on the counter. For a first go, I'll try a size that would give 90 brownies. I am suspecting that by decarbing the butter, it will yield 3-4 times the dosage as the non-decarbed butter. As MajorDisaster pointed out it is better to have to take more than wish you'd had less. I'll try one in an hour or so and report back.

The brownies are great at 90 per sheet, using 1/2 lb or 1/3 of the butter I ended up with. The decarbing must be the trick because I've used the same 4 oz of trim as flour in brownies for a single batch and they are not this strong. This will produce three batches.. I found pictures of potato ricers and they look like a good idea for the final squeezing out of liquid. Thanks all for the recipe and suggestions.

You didn't mention decarboxylating the product, which is an important step. Also, I've stopped using so much water. Two tablespoons per each pound of butter/oil I find works best.

After four hours in the crock pot, I strain the product through cheesecloth, then I put the cheesecloth with oily product in it in a ziploc bag and freeze it. I then use the whole thing as a stuffing in a chicken, and then further use the chicken broth to make canna soup.

I gather from the dosage that was mentioned by stbwolfe that the canna butter recipe for this thread is not decarbed. The brownies I made with the decarbed butter are the strongest edibles I have ever had. Excellent clear-headed high. I consumed three over the course of the day and smoked about 1.5 grams. On a typical day, if I just smoke, I consume 5-7 grams of 20%ish THC pot. My wife who rarely partakes had 1/3 of a brownie in the am, and another 1/3 a few hours later. By 5pm she was dozing on the couch. It was a great exercise stbwolfe, thank you.

when you are decarbing your butter , are you just melting it back down and heating it for 20 or so min at 200 degress? whats the actual process. i would like to know so when i do so with my oil i can properly add in my soy lecithin.

I heat it to 240-250° for 25 minutes or less. Pot naturally decarbs over time so it may need less time. You an see it start to bubble around 210°, very tiny bubbles. use a metal wire or a thermometer to stir occasionally and watch the bubbling slow and stop. I remove it from the heat and cool it as quickly as possible. I would be decarbing in a small pot and set it in a bath of cold water to get it down to the low 100°'s so I could pour it into a container to store it, usually in the freezer to preserve it. I stopped using lecithin as I couldn't tell the difference, but I would add it when the oil is cooled as mentioned.
