Cannabutter Some Say Simmer For 2-3 Hours And Some Say 24Hours

[Naycha]

I realise you're already done, just thought I'd say I made an absolute killer batch last week which I simmered for 8 hours.

 

Let us know how you went.

time will tell now

im sure its worked

if not have another bowl of trim

[Rattrap]

Whenever i've made cannabutter i've simmered the trim with water for most of a day or over night if started in the evening. I use about 250g of butter to around 3-4 oz of trim, thats stalks & leaf, i've never used buds in butter. I add enough water so that the trim once soft from boiling is fully covered. I simmer it as low as i can but still have a simmering action with the lid on naturally. Always makes for some kickass butter.

Personally tho i don't like the butter much, i have a hell of a time getting the dose right. I always seem to end up with the greendeath :twitchsmile:

this is the final product

about half a take away dish

i have made a cake that was good and cookies

i dont think its as strong as i thought it would be

ill try again soon and let you know how it goes

cheers bambu

Slowcooker, low heat, hardly even bubbling the mixture ...... over about 10 hours minimum, heat depletes thc, but thc is fat soluble and takes time to dissolve into a fatty substance....

 

Peace n lots of pot.

EDIT:- its also a good idea to rupture cell walls, water and butter is a good solution to boil cannabis in ... this allows better leeching of the active substances.... (I am speaking from experience here ..)

I have always put it in simmering water. melt a bit of butter in first, add a bit of weed, more butter, more weed etc etc etc. I'll cook it with a lid on the pot, usually between 3-5 hours. I've never experienced any quality loss with longer hours...went for about 8 once...and yeah whoever said if it's a nice green colour? Yep. Every time. Love it.

Lowest heat possible for a longgggg period of time ... lots of plant material fuck all butter, kept volatile and oily in a heated bubbleing pot of water..... Watch friends pass out within 30 minutes .....

If it's too green you've done it for too long & it gets a bad leafy taste. Blows ya head off but tastes like crap imo.

 

That looks about the same colour as mine gets... If at first you don't get stoned... Eat more!

I have done 24 hours (leaf) and think is a bit of overkill.  I usually simmer bud for 2-3 hours but have made killer shade leaf milkshakes in 20 mins. I honestly think most of the THC is boiled out in the first 30 minutes. Butter is not 100% fat and you can lose a lot over a long period of time, I always use water and butter together.
