Just made some holiday butter, first time

[nvmextc]

It's holiday time so it's time to make some butter . I've used 10grams of trichome powder I've collected over about 6 months with 500 grams of butter.

I chose to do this on a rolling boil as I hear it is the best method. The bottom pot was filled half up with water, and when it started boiling I put the other pot ontop with 500mL of water into that. After 10 minutes or so the water in the top is hot, so I cut my bricks of butter into about 20 manageable pieces and chuck them in and stir and wait.

Before long I have a nice yellow colored liquid and it's time to add the magic ingredient. I add all 10grams into the mix and stir it every 10 minutes over the next 6 hours. Constantly checking the bottom pot is just simmering away nicely and it's not to hot, my stove was on LOW for all of this.

In the photos below I took snaps of the pot once the ingredients were mixed, then at 1,2 and 6 hours.

I used a low grade cheesecloth to strain, putting it in a beaker as pictured so it had a "pool" to go into. I ended up using a second stretch of cloth cos the first got clogged up.

After its all in the beaker I boil the kettle and fill a small bowl of hot water and dunk and strain the cheesecloth I have used. Then throw that into the beaker. this adds about another .5L into the beaker and it's full now. I leave it in the freezer overnight (only about 8 hours) and Voila!!! Cannabutter

Gonne make some cookies later today, can't wait!!!

Thx everyone on here and Happy Holidays, if I didn't have your posts to read, I wouldn't have this!

I worked out I must of had about 350grams of butter left outa that 500gram I had to start off.

I used half the butter in making some brownies which were pretty good, the topping was twice as potent as the brownie itself and it tasted pretty nice with a distinct flavour to it Don't know how potent they were, kept on eating em while I was partying, I did get rather wasted though.

I used the rest of the butter following this recipe https://cannabis.community.forums.ozstoners...showtopic=17270 and altering it a bit as I had more butter and added chocolate chips. I got 28 cookies out of it. I started by eating 5, and after half an hour I grabbed another 6 (they taste so nice). After a couple of hours I was extremely stoned, and stayed this way till i went to sleep about 8 hours later. Very impressed with these cookies

I just had another 3, I think I overdid it the other day with 11, .
