No offense droop, but that's a lot more trouble than nescessary.
First off, I can't see how boiling the weed with water alone will do mouch. Water does not extract THC. THC can be extracted using solvents like alcohol, or fat - ie. butter.
Here's my method, just so you have a few different opinions to explore:
In a slow cooker, place your 2 oz weed, 2 lbs(4 cups) butter, and top it off with enough water to cover it all.
Turn the slow cooker on low and walk away. Come back to stir every hour or two. After simmering for 5 hours, start stirring very 20 mins. Six hours total should be ample time to extract the THC and make you some kick ass cannabutter.
Next, strain through cheesecloth or nylon stockings (I use the stockings. You can find the "sock" types at the dollar store 3 for a buck sometimes) into a large bowl. Place in the fridge over night, and the next day you can take the hardened butter off the top.
I like to re-melt my cannabutter into a double boiler and add enough regular butter to make it into an even 4 cups (you loose a little when you make the butter) then pour half cup portions into small glass bowls. Then back in the fridge to harden and you have half cup portions ready to go at a moments notice!
One of the nice things about this method is that it's easy to plug your slow cooker into an outside plug so you don't have to smell up your house.
Whatever method you decide to go with, good luck and happy cooking!
do me a favor bro, and try out the exact recipe i gave. That Chef Herb cat is quite famous. In high times and shit. If you do, let me know what you think. Your end product whould come out neon green, like you see on youtube.i have about two oz of fine crystaly trim and i wanted to know how much butter would i need to make cannibutter with 2 oz of trim.I want strong butter.?thanks
Well, there's always room to learn something new. I'm still not sure how boiling the weed in plain water will extract any THC, but then I ain't no chemist. Next time I make some butter, I'll give your method a shot!None taken stark, but you will never have a 90-100% thc extraction without the time. It's just the time needed for the extraction to take place. Ive used a 6hr simmer before, i was very humbled by this recipe. Try it if you want. Im positive, you will never spend 6hrs making your butter again.
dont boil it, just simmer. ive got to go, will give you thourough info later.Well, there's always room to learn something new. I'm still not sure how boiling the weed in plain water will extract any THC, but then I ain't no chemist. Next time I make some butter, I'll give your method a shot!
