How To Make Cannabutter [W/ Pics]

This is awesome. I remember reading this topic a couple of months back, now I'm actually going to try it. I hope it tastes good!

Would it work to use an old coffee percolator? As long as it percolates on simmer I could leave it on the stove all afternoon. It would avoid the straining step, but maybe not as effective?

I am going to try this and update with the results, but I thought I would add a recipe. One problem I've found is that a lot of recipes/boxed bakes are 'healthy' and only call for a small amount of oil or butter. I found this one an old Dutch Amish cookbook.

1 lb. sugar
3/4 lb. butter
6 eggs
3 tsp. baking powder
flour to stiffen

Cream butter and sugar. Add one egg at a time, then some flour and continue this process until all eggs have been added. Add the baking powder with the flour. Do not add too much flour; add just enough so that it may be rolled very thin and cut with cookie cutters.

I tried your method, with a pound of butter, and about 2 1/2 oz of bang leaves I had left over from harvest. I have a high thc tolerance, so I let one of my friends at work try it. I gave her a 4oz portion cup, with about 3oz of Cannabutter, and she took it home and made brownies. One brownie got her toasty, so she's taking the rest with her on her road trip to the Presidential Inauguration.

Thanks for the info, it was VERY helpful.

made cannabutter today. I simmered it in my crockpot for around 13 hrs. I used 50 gs of trim, 8gs of vaped weed, to 2 cups butter and 3 cups water. Came out with 1 1/2 cups of cannabutter that is hella potent.

I love RIU

how long can the butter be stored for? same shelf life as regular butter?

Thanx +rep. I will def. buy.

I just made some peanut butter canna cookies. mmmmm

So like you wouldn't have to use nearly as much if you use bud. What about would you think is the ratio for that?

say... 50g's trim = 25g's bud?

something like half what you would typically use. Cuz most people on here use trims and shake, but i'm wondering... i might just chuck an ounce of chopped up/ ground up bud in there. How much butter and water for that?

I would you around 7 to 10gs of dank. The important thing is to simmer it in butter/water for around 12 hrs. That maximizes the amount of thc that binds to fat.

Hi all,

I'm makin' cannabutter on the stove. I'm using all the males I've pulled up over the last few weeks. Some are dried and but the majority is from one giant fresh plant. I'm thinkin' that maybe grindin' is a bit superfluous and I'd just chop it into little bits. Is it worth keeping the roots to boil up? A pain to get rid of all the little bits of dirt and grit tangled in them though.

does it smell when you make it?

Nah, not badly or obviously. There is a smell whilst cooking of butter steam and plant matter but it isn't dank and doesn't linger. From the butter above so far my woman and I have cooked: Choc-choc-chop-biscuits, crispy rice square and gingersnap biscuits all delicious! Made by rough chopping (2cm pieces) 3 male plants 500g of butter 6.5 hours cooking of cannabutter. Plenty potent.

Butter stinks a bit but keep it in a sealed container and make recipes with other strong flavours and you'll be right. I used these recipes:

But had to cook for 30 minutes extra to cooking time (104 deg C is low!).

nice thread .... but thats shit load of bud for baking..... if u use 4 to 8 grams of some nice kind bud it should be plenty. Eating too much always puts me to sleep.

First time trying to actually cook it in the butter and it turned out crazy. Put about 18g of some great stuff into 8c water and 1.25 sticks of butter and came out with more than a half cup of butter. Mixed that in with the brownies and each square has almost a gram in it...

Thanks for the guide

I just cooked up about 25 grams of trim with 1 1/4 sticks of butter. I let it simmer for an hour and a half... will this work alright? If anyone has any insight let me know

I meant to post earlier, but I did a second batch last week. Used about an ounce or maybe a little more of trim (I trimmed fairly tight and threw in the little nubby buds from the base). I brought it to a boil and then put it on the crock pot at a high simmer/low boil for about 3 hours.

It worked much better than the first time, but still could have been more potent.

the canabutter is for mostly growers who are left with alot of shake...
