I've had this machine for a few months now and it's time for my review.
1. It works! I'm using this to treat mom with Alzheimer's and she can't smoke so food stuffs are the way to go. But how to do it when you only want small batches, and don't want your end product to taste like doggy doo doo or go bad before you've used it up.
It's taken months for me to figure out the best method for me so far but much of that is due to procrastination. No fault of the folks at Magic Butter.
My first undertaking at making bhang was a huge success in terms of results but the taste was horrible and getting her to drink it was tough. But when she did the results were exactly what we wanted.
I also gave some to a friend whose husband can't smoke. Their comments were: "We were insanely high, almost hallucinogenic. It lasted over 12 hours, we couldn't stop talking, and we had the best sex we've had in years!"
Hmmm, we might be on to something here. But I need to back off on the strength. (less bud/trim/material)
As of 2 days ago I think I have a very doable recipe for mom. One that's very palatable too.
1. 2oz of trim that has some small bud. The weaker stuff in other words. I boil this covered in water once for 10-15 mins in plain water. Then drain through a colander. I then boil more water and pour it through the material in the colander. This is to rid the material of some of the chlorophyll and bad taste. It helps I think but the folks at Magic Butter say it's not really needed.
2. Squeeze out all the water and you have kinda gooey material. Into the MB machine and cover to the max fill line with WHOLE MILK. We need the fat in the milk for the thc to attach too. MB suggests adding some lecithin granules, about 8 tbls per quart as even more will attach. This is important and he say's I definitely lost some potency.
3. Add some sweetener. I added a couple ounces of 100% maple syrup.
4. Turn on the MB machine at 220f for 2 hrs.
5. Strain, and add about 3oz to your favorite 16 oz drink. I'm making high protein fruit smoothies and she loves the drink.
*** It comes on very slow so be patient! You may want to plan your first ventures when you have no plans for the entire day/night.
About the unit:
The filter I got sucks. It's a mesh filter but with a solid bottom it makes it very hard to filter liquid through the material.
That being said they have a newer filter now and a totally new filter design coming out.
For those having problems filtering I went to the local grocery store and bought a new mesh filter basket that totally drains through the bottom and sides. I then placed this filter in my coffee maker filter basket and poured the material through. THIS WORKED GREAT! I know have nice light green liquid.
I spoke with Magic Butter today and let them know I was posting a review. Folks will be excited with this new filtering system for sure. It's a couple months out as of now.
The unit works exactly as advertised. It's easy to clean using it's own clean cycle too. I'll likely be making a batch every week now.
The folks at MB highly suggested I also move up to a coconut oil mix and suggested gummy bears too. I'll be getting recipes from them for this and post the results when I try them. I do have the coconut oil already and lecithin and will be making a batch of that too.
on a scale of 1-10, 10 being best, I would rate this a 7-7.5 with minus 2 stars for the basket/filter I got. But having overcome that and knowing the new setup will be coming out soon, it's a solid 9 product for sure. I only give 10's if it comes with a topless 25 yr old hot babe making it for me.
