Round 2, Goin' for a KO!

Well a few days ago, as anyone who was bored enough too stumble into my other thread will know, I made my first batch of canna-butter.
Well, after a mild success, and a lesson learned I'm back too try again, and as the title says I'm hopin' that I'll get a smooth experience like my first time, only 3x as much potency. Deciding to go with a half-O per 454g of butter (1 stick)

On that note, I have some left over butter from my first batch that didn't go into my cookie recipe. Could this be toss into the crock pot and made into 1 batch without any loss of quality to either effort? IS there some negative to this? I just wondered because there isn't much of it, and it wasn't as potent as it could have been, will mixing them be a mistake or should I be ok?

you will be fine.. I have to make mine strong. I will do 1.5 oz with 1 c oil for capsules.

Well, on that note, we're off to the races, or what have you.
I've chopped up the green, softened the butter and now it's in the pot and on the way.
As close to a half-0 as my eye could be bothered to eyeball at the time as there was some time issues when I picked up and had to get to the store for butter in time etc.
Anyway, took some more pictures just cause a thread is always nicer with a few pics.

Lets see how we do this time around.

do it bro, cant wait to try your cookin

Alright, so here I am about..12-13 hours into the grind (been playing some Medieval: Total War II to kill time between naps) and all seems well. The colour is different, and much darker green, hopefully a sign that all that nommy THC is getting picked up by the phattest of the fat.

I'm thinking of shuttin' it off and straining it soon, I'm a bit afraid of burning it, and I'm always one for less is a good way to avoid more of a problem.

Anyway, attached a pic of it, will do more when I strain and drain and pop er' in the fridge.

One more phase outta the way, have had it in the fridge for a while. I know for the most part on here people fret about which cloth or fabric or w/e to strain your stuff with, so I just snapped a shot of my ghetto rig that worked without, so that you can see stress is never worth the bother if you just trying to get a bit high lol

Anyway, now to think of something epic to make...Where's that gravy recipe!?
Also, still haven't gotten any specific word on what melting 2 batches of canna-butter together in order to properly container it would do? Anyone? +Rep for the help!

just picked up some butter the other day... I normally use oil but wanted to retry butter see if I can see a diff or not..

Once I use this I'll be able to tell if I'm doing it right, cause with 3x as much weed as my first try, and some very obvious differences between the 2 batches, its clear that I should see a difference in the effects, if I'm doing it right ... lol

No, you're not doing it right yet. You need to incorporate water into your process. Add like 6 cups (at least) of water to your butter/weed mix and cook over crockpot of low heat on stove for several hours. Then stick the whole mix in the fridge overnight. The butter will solidify and float to the top with all the ganja yumminess. The ganja nastyness will float to the bottom and separate with the water. Simply separate the solid butter from the water and enjoy your nice clean and potent butter.

I added water?
Enough to cover the butter and weed before I started cooking it, but did I not add enough? Does that really make the difference? Hot damn I hope not cause I'm expecting something outta that half-o batch! lol

Oh sorry, my bad. You're doing it right then!

Good to know! So, I've dcided that I'm going to bake some sort of cake with this batch, but I still have some of the first batch that I made and still wondering if it'd ruin the potent batch to melt it together with the bit of not-so-potent stuff for storage?
I really need/want to know before I start baking the cake so that I can maybe get a bit more out of the potent batch.

just mush them together, cant see whered it would hurt anything. twice the fun right?

Right, well as we speak I've got my cake(s) (the batter had to be split into 2 pans) in the oven, they'll be ready in about 20-30 minutes and my fellow guinea pig will be arriving around that time (which isn't a co-incidence).
I'll snap some pics when I pull em out of the oven, and I'll be back with a buzz report Hopefully a more exciting and eventful one then my first batch of comfy cookies (as I think of them).

Peace brothas, see you on the other side!

Ok, well cake(s) are out of the oven and on a rack to cool. Just waiting on my friend to come by and then we're off to the races. Figured it'd be best to get the pics of my baking up now before I'm too high to think about things like that (or so I hope).

Here you go

Well good news!
I was plenty kinds of high, and slept like a baby afterwards. So I will declare this mission a success. My neighbour and friend both seemed to agree. Other then my baking skill and maybe a bit more potency I don't think I could get much more out of the experience. Now just to come up with some good recipes to use.
