making weed butter

[solokreep]

i have a question if i shine a uv light on my butter what color should it be

 

[Lenin1917]

Never shined a uv light on mine, but every batch of budder I’ve made just looks like slightly green butter and I cook that shit long and strong 8-12 hours with 4-6 oz of trim/larf to a lb of butter.

Sure sounds potent.

How do you get that much dry material to soak in a lb. of butter?

Ikr lol. That’s a lot of flower for 4 sticks of butter. Personally I prefer coconut oil and I use like 2 lids: 1.5 cups oil and that ish is potent as any oil/butter needs to be.

I shred the leaves and larf before decarb and crumble after you lose alot of volume once this is done then I mix it with the melted butter and about 1/2 a cup of water in a 1 quart jar

What is the point of UV light on the Cannabutter?

And I thought a "Five Hour Tour" was a kick in the pants.

Gave a buddy one yesterday afternoon, told him to wait till he got off work to take it. He didn’t listen, called me this morning like “fuck bro you were right I ain’t even go”

You ever tried decarboxylating for less time? Like maybe a couple hours, instead of 10?

I decarb my plant material for 45min at 250f before it even goes in the butter. The long cook time is to extract it into the butter, you strain the plant material out when it’s done cooking

The cook time is further decarboxylation. That's why I was asking.
You might trip on that same butter if it wasn't so broken down into CBD.

I spilled some butter when I put it in the freezer so when I checked on it I saw that now solid butter that spilled.
I decided to use that as the tester sample.
Yep it was intense.
I was using the shake from seed plants. I can only imagine your good plants making butter.

Not to be a snob or anything but I will only make my butter with decent bud because I feel the butter takes on the taste of plant material used and I hate the leaf taste so the better the stuff you use the better the taste. I always make my butter into a batch of homemade Carmel candies it’s awesome but so hard to dose them right. I can’t figure out how much material to use to get like 10mg candies so I try to sample before I hand them out so I can warn folks before they eat a big piece. The funny part was I never had a edible till just 3-4 years ago and been smoking for 20+ years and I love edibles wish someone would have turned me on to them many years ago such a different buzz
