I am glad to hear this worked good for you, great feedback!

So how much do you think your small handful of green trimmings was, less than an ounce? I have a half ounce green trimmings now, and was waiting on my next harvest to make some, sounds like peanut butter cookies it is!
Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. Well I figure I used about .5 - 1 oz maybe .75 oz,(This is a dry weight estimate since I used green trim) There are ton of popcorn buds in there too. Maybe try it with one cube and see what it does. I am sure you will be more than happy with the results.

My next batch I want to use the 100proof or higher alcohol trick. How long should I soak the trim in it? Do any of you ever mix Honey Oil or Bubble Hash into your treats?

thanks for the reply apache. i think i will throw a few popcorn buds in there too then, should be able to come up with 20-30 grams of trim and popcorn to make some, i cant wait.

i think i read on a thread that you could add honey oil, or bubble hash directly to treats but i cant remember for the life of me where.

Alright, I made a new batch of Butter using 1oz of Dry trim and popcorn buds soaking in 100proof vodka over night. I then put it in a Crockpot with 2 sticks, 8oz's, of butter and 2 cups of water. Cooked it on high for 2 hours and then on low for 2 hours stirring every 20 or so mins. I then washed it 4 times buy putting in the freezer to let it set up and then draining the waste off. Then pour boiling water over it again and repeat a few more times. The butter is super dark green even after washing it. The last batch I used green trim and the butter turned very light colored after a few washes and no alcohol soak either. I will whip up a batch of peanut butter cookies later today and test them out.

The last batch I handed out to some friends who have chronic pain who take way to many pain killers, imo, and one guy was able to cut down from 8 pills per day to 1.5! Which I think is pretty awesome. I hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Alrighty then, I made a batch of peanut butter cookies and they turned out ok. Not as nice looking as the first batch and definitely not as strong. But a good dose. The first ones were scary strong. I ate one and got pretty high but not where I wanted to melt down like the last batch. So to Recap, I used one oz dry of trim and popcorn buds, soaked it in 100 prof vodka overnight and cooked in a crock pot for 2 hours on high and 2 hours on low. Washed 4 times and used 2 sticks, 8 ozs, of butter. For the cookies I used 3 TBS of butter in the recipe. I would like to try THC oil or tincture. I have access to 180 prof alcohol/Ethanol and would like to try it that way. I would like to be able to measure the amount of THC in the each batch so my friends knew how much they were dosing each time.

Cheers,

I used fresh stuff the first time and it knocked my socks off and any one else who ate them...I am going to do another batch today with 2ozs of dried trim and 2 sticks of butter, 8ozs.

my last batch was 3lbs of butter to a lb of urban poison and snow white trim. 1 cookie was enough, 4 put me into zombie land.

Space cakes - the most popular pot brownie to try. Circa 20 cookies.
Ingredients:
•1/2 cup pot-butter
•1 1/3 cup flour
•1/2 teaspoon salt
•1/2 teaspoon baking soda
•1/2 cup brown sugar
•1/4 cup granulated sugar
•1 egg
Directions:
1.Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
2.Mix (by hand) the butter, sugars, and egg into a large bowl.
3.Combine the baking soda, salt, and flour.
4.Slowly add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and stir by hand.
5.Shape the dough into 1-inch balls, 25 grams and place them two inches apart on a greased cookie sheet.
6.Bake for 25-30 minutes or until light brown.

Ya'll seem to me to be making this way too complicated. I melt the butter in a pan, throw in the weed, put the stove on low for about 30 minutes with the lid on, turn off the heat, let it cool to room temp, then strain it. It tastes great and will put you on your ass..maybe I just have better weed ;)

Fire it up dude! I am sure you will find out how much is the ideal medicated amount. Let us know how it turns out.

The latest batch: ".I am going to do another batch today with 2ozs of dried trim and 2 sticks of butter, 8ozs. "

And I used 4 TBS in a Peanut butter Rice Crispy Treat deal and they are excellent and are very strong. I think the 1oztrim to 4oz butter is perfect ratio Imo.

Have fun!

there is no way that tastes good... thats the reason people go to more extreme measures, because that 1960's method makes some awful tasting butter imo.

no disrespect meant, -just my 2 cents........ Peace.

I'm not a chemist, but I do like cooking, and Alton brown rocks. I would imagine the point of mixing it with water is to regulate the heat, both for the pot, and the butter. Since boiling water won't get hotter than 100C, it keeps the bud and butter out of direct conact with the pans metal, burning it. Thats going to make for maximum absorbtion, as well as a smooth, even consistency.

Hi folks,

This is not my first time, I have learned a lot from the mistakes I made the last two times.

I had over a pound of trim and small buds and thought I would make some cannabutter.

I put dried trim into my blender (too much for coffee grinder) on liquify. Put it into my very large crock pot, added enough hot water to cover it, microwaved the butter and added it.

Set the Crock Pot on high for 2 hours, stirring every 15 minutes. After about 1 1/2 hours everything was simmering and all of the plant material was completely integrated with butter/water.

After 2 hours switch the Crock Pot to Low.....

After 1 hour I drained through Chessecloth into a cooled (near frozen) stainless steel pot.

After an hours or so I removed the cannabutter from the surface. I then reheated the cannabutter in a double-boiler and poured it into 2 tall plastic cups with straight sides (and a 3rd for the bottom stuff).

This did 2 things, allowed my to pour 95% of the good stuff into the cups which allows me to slice it into smaller pieces.

As I was transferring, there was some residue in the double-boiler, I wiped it up with a piece of bread and ate it. Very little off tastes.

Very powerful, hit me in around an hour while I was in the Spa.

Now I am going to the store to get Brownie Mix :eyesmoke:
