I've been making SO much butter lately that I decided to see the max I could make in my crock pot instead of making two pound batches. I put in 17 sticks, just over 4 pounds.

I then put in 8 oz of super frosty trim. It was almost 3 years old in a paper bag, so really no need to decarb.

I initially thought I put in too much as it was up to the top before adding any water.

After the butter melted, I was able to pour in almost a quart of water, and stirred it around. Things were looking better.

Cooked it for about 3 hours, strained it into a pot through a good deal of cheese cloth and into the fridge it went. Cut it up this morning. Super clean, and super strong butter. Cooked my eggs in it, and I am in outer space. Gotta make 4 pans of brownies for orders this weekend. Betty fucking Crocker, I think I may need to get an apron.

I used to cook mine a long time but have found that butter tastes less "weedy" if I only boil for one hour -- and the strength doesn't really change.
But I use a rice cooker which is hot little fucker that has a steam vent. Can't let all the water boil out or the weed will fry. I used to set a timer to add water periodically when I was boiling for a half day.
My last batch was a little too strong -- even for me. Gonna dial it back to 1 zip per cup.

That's why I love the slow cooker, pretty much idiot-proof. I usually cook for 2 hours, but I was doing a million other tasks and couldn't get to it right away. A zip per cup is about the strength I and my custies like. Better too strong than too weak, you can always dilute it with regular butter if need be...
