My shake is dry but that's just the way I've always done it. Large pan, 2 lb butter, 64 g. of extremely resinous shake w/o big fan leaves (can smoke it and get high), and the rest water. Simmer for 4h 20m and chill overnight. Cut hole in top of butter and drain. Take butter out and set on paper towels water side down to wick out the water, scrape the nasty stuff off the butter, cut it and measure out chunks ready for baking. Mine tastes great with no refining.
