Thank you for feeding my curious mind.

Vegtable Glycerin can be used in place of coconut oil or butter and that is a tincture. Then you can make gummies with it or use it in coffee or tea or whatever.
You can also use alcohol (vodka or everclear) that is 151 proof or greater. I use VG because it is not flammable and is easily water soluable for coffee.
I usually decarb 1 hour at 240F and then cool it and put 1/2 to 1 oz per cup of coconut oil or VG. Coconut oil tastes a lot better in my opinion and it can take twice the THC because of the type of fat.
I love strong edibles. I have 2 oz of crystally white rhino buds in 3 cups of VG in the magical butter machine going right now. 120 degrees for 8 hours. Lets see what happens

Took a better photo of finished product. As the one I took originally had poor lighting/colour.Hello Folks
Today I tried my hand at making cannabutter. I researched a bit and found all to be quite similar. Of course butter and coconut oil are different and to use water or not. But mostly say decarboxylate in the oven at 240° and others say 200° ( I did at 210° so I didn't blacken the buds and make my butter bitter ). For around 30 minutes. Shaking the baking tray from time to time.
Then melt butter in water ( some say bad idea to use water ) then add the decarboxylated bud. Simmer 3 hours.
My ingredients
75gr smaller buds ( not leaf etc )
300gr butter ( not spreadable )
2 tea cups water.
I simmered for 3 hours stirring slowly.
Then strained through a dish cloth and colander ( didn't have cheese cloth )
Then let room cool. Then placed in fridge to set. Took 2 hours. They say once set drain off excess water. I didn't have any excess. Simmered/steamed out well.
Tested. And yummy( quite strong ) must make sure GF is aware of strength.
Anyone for some passion fruit chewies? Or Christmas Cake?

It was ok. I prefer the buzz of coconut oil to VG. And the taste too but a couple of nasty tasting grape gummies does the trick.Hello Dude

My tolerance is really high. I will give one to my 30 year old and see how it works for real. I think they might be banging.
The coconut oil will be. I am running 2 oz of WR and all my stuff at the bottom of the roll bowl into 3 cups of coconut oil. No decarb but i will cook it for 2 hours at 220F in the butter machine and then run it at 160 for 8. The 220 will decarb it.

Okay.... That's good to hear, that all is not lost.
I have been looking at magic butter machines... And I'm sure they are exactly that..... Magic. But I must confess that I did enjoy the therapeutic lift stirring the pot for 3 hours gave me. Or maybe that was the buds I was smoking?

I like it because it is easy and the temp is controlled. I made fantastic coconut oil in a slow cooker. I just had the cash and i thought id give it a go.Okay.... That's good to hear, that all is not lost.

I like it a lot. It is idiot proof pretty much. I wish it didnt sound like marbles in a blender every now and then and that it didnt have a light show. That other machine is way more covert but costs more. Now that we are all legal here i could care less. But if you were trying to be covert a slow cooker is better.

My 30 year old son came home last night and had a gummy. Turns out they are very strong. They have sunflower lethicin so they come on pretty quick. He said wow this is a gentle nice buzz....1 hour later wow this is pretty strong...then it got strong. Then he went to bed and slept 9 hours.With all that quality bud... I would have thought you would say that it was banging?
He will try half a gummy next time
These are 1 tablespoon gummies because that is the size of silicone ice trays i had
It gives me a more gentle buzz and white rhino helps with aching hands a lot. Indica edibles can be very sedative though.

If you didnt have a slow cooker for VG you can do it in your oven in a mason jar in a water bath to keep the temp right. It takes a while and you can find a recipe with google.
It probably tastes better than that nasty strong crap i made. Works really well and you do not burp it up or anything but chewing em takes some fortitude. It starts off mango and goes horribly wrong

The gummies sound real nice and quite large. A good sleep sounds good too. What ratio of bud did you use to proportion of other ingredients?

I have a slow cooker. Can you not water down your VG? I'm only saying that because of your comment "nasty strong crap" or does that mean lovely? Like when people say "that's sick" which means good.If you didnt have a slow cooker for VG you can do it in your oven in a mason jar in a water bath to keep the temp right.

I use about 3/4 of an oz per cup of VG. For coconut oil about the same per cup. VG is a lower temp than Coconut oil. They both act a bit different too. Coconut oil in a brownie is tasteless (brownie is delicious). I like the brownie approach better. But oil doesnt mix with water so i use VG in my coffee to get going. The gummies use 1/4 cup for about 1 1/2 cups of gummies (24 tablespoons or 72 teaspoons of gummybear size). For coconut brownies i use the recipe on frys cocoa and sub the 1 cup of butter for coconut oil for butter (you can use cannabutter too) and they come out pretty awesome. I cut em in 16 so each is 1 tablespoon of oil and i tell people i gift them to to cut them in 3 for 1 teaspoon per so they get an idea of strength.

I should have cooked it lower temp and shorter timeI have a slow cooker. Can you not water down your VG? I'm only saying that because of your comment "nasty strong crap" or does that mean lovely? Like when people say "that's sick" which means good.
it is a lot burnt tasting. Coconut oil doesnt do that i am new to the VG thing.And do the butter in a slow cooker. Get coconut oil next time you can (Cheapest by far is costco next place is no frills where you get 2.5 kg or so jars) and you can see if you like it better. IT is way higher in saturated fat than butter and that is why it absorbs more THC.
A slow cooker is as good as the MGBM for butter and coconut oil for sure.The MGBM is just easy. You dont grind or anything toss in whole buds with stems and everything it blenderizes it as it heats it and it has sensors to know.
Or i was REALLY high.
Could be both really. SCIENCE is fucking awesome.
