How To Best Use My Trim

[RookieJuana]

What is your favorite way to use your trim? I would like to use it to make butter for edibles. Anybody have a favorite slow cooker recipe? Thank you in advance for any responses I get! I've seen some YouTube vids and wonder if that's the best way. I've got a big bag full of it in my freezer right now. Should it be dry before I start?

I have never made any Edibles besides infused oil capsules. I personally don't see the sense in it I'd rather just smoke a bowl if I want to get high.

I'll squeeze mine to extract the rosin, and process it with my flower squeezings before encapsulating it for my meds. You can extract the goodness as hash or an oil to make concentrates or tinctures.

My goal is consistent doses of THC and CBD in all my capsules.

I save up lots and freeze it, then pass it through a fine micron screen

once you've collected enough of it. I press it into small tabs
then roll it through cellophane with a wine bottle of boiling water
makes great temple balls

Dry it out. Use like 1oz. Of trim take all small stems out. Get 1cup oil put on low med. Almost to the point the oil is boiling. Put herb in oil stir for 1hr. Dont let oil boil remembering that keep stirring the oil. After 1hr. Turn off let cool down. Get cheese cloth put over bowl / jar pour oul into container and ring all The oil out. Lable and use to cook with. I like it for my brownies it will get you good. Lol

What about the decarb part?! Unnecessary?

 

[Old Salt]

This does the de-carb, as the oil is far above 110°C (230°F). The standard given by a Dutch university is 110°C (230°F) for 110 minutes to achieve full decarboxylation.

 

[NamTran]

Invest a few bucks for - set of bubble bag I guess?

 

[scrogster]

Yes rookie no need 2 decarb. Heat up, stir, strain ,cool down , ready 2 use. Sorry for the late response I ate a half of a brownie last night lmao........

 

[RookieJuana]

Made some butter for brownies! Thanks guys!

 

[Hdinkleman]

make sure to decarboxify if you make butter or you will just get a sleeping aid instead of a good head high

And did you get medicated from them? I Made butter before and didn't like it. Oil thing worked better for me. 2 each there own.

Edibles are my mainstay for pain relief and sleeping. I use the NYT Supernatural Brownies recipe with a few minor modifications. Cannabutter is made via MBM butter machine. I use choice trim, 3 oz that is chopped up then decarboxylated (250 F 45 min) then cooked in the MBM for a total of 3 hours at 160 F degrees. I use 5 sticks of European butter, a little extra than called for, to make 2 oz of V V powerful cannabutter that is packed into containers and frozen. I also use trim with a kief screen to make another potent baking and smoking asset-KIEF. I decarb a good amt before I bake, then add the decarbed kief to the butter/TJ choc melt that I use to bake the brownies. 6 oz of trim yields about 8 oz of kief for me.

If all this seems overly elaborate or OCD, please understand that I am old, retired, disabled and completely dependent on the herb I grow, this year 5 plants outdoors that I expect to yield about 1 lb/plant, giving me plenty for myself and to give to others.

Peace and Love,

Oldgrowth
