325 is right below the temp which THC vapes at ( about 340 i think) water boils at 212. so when i cook in a double boiler, the butter heats at this temp which is much lower than most of the psychoactive compounds' vaporizing point. how did you know the temp was 325 the whole time? did you do it in the oven? or used a thermometer? the brownish color usually comes from the solid in the butter scorching so its not a direct indicator of how potent the butter is, but it may tell you how hot the butter was cooked at. for me i get the most potent edibles when i cook low and slow for atleast an hour, covered. if it starts to stink like weed, that means i am vaping my plant materials instead of cooking them into the fat.
Today was my first time making cannabutter and to be fair I had a couple mixed drinks of Jack &Coke and smoked a bowl, but during making the butter I felt extremely loaded (I also licked the spoon) and got a bad stomach ache and had to lay down for an hour(zoned out on Netflix)... I can't wait to try these brownies im gonna make
Toast?
Sounds kind of weak to bake with unless you are just eating it on toast. I usually put about an oz. of sweet trim and popcorn buds in two and a half sticks and make a full batch of cookie bars (40). Are you adding water to your butter to keep it from going above 212F? That will keep it from burning and vaping off your cannabinoids. Here is my method. Note: 2.5 sticks will become the 1c called for in most cookie recipes after loses (milk solids).
