Hehehe, That's what I'm here for! I help and try to make this community the best it can be. I joined this site because it is the best I've seen, and I think that whatever I do to help only makes us stronger. Even if I get long-winded at times.
Dude. Did you grind your trim up into tiny, almost flour consistency? That helps, and strain your butter/water when it is HOT AS HELL through a cheesecloth, let it cool overnight in the fridge and then drain off the water. A lot of it will have evaporated already, but hopefully you kept it TIGHTLY covered, as THC/CBD vapes at or about 220 which is a little higher than water boils, so as long as you kept the water in there via the lid, and your burner on its LOWEST POSSIBLE setting, you should be fine. The reason you grind so fine is so that you end up retaining as little butter in the herbal matter and what is left is easily squeezed out using the cheesecloth right before you chill it. If you have larger pieces, it is harder to press the butter out. When you put your butter in the fridge, be sure not to move it AT ALL until it is COMPLETELY cool so the oil/water does its thing so you can easily pour off the water. Yes there will be a small amount left, but that is easily patted off of the solidified mass when cold. Also, get a fridge thermometer you temp should be 34-36 degrees, colder and your milk and water will freeze, warmer and your butter will not fully solidify to an easily workable product... Yes-yes, the "Safe zone" is 34-40, but do you really like to handle 40 degree bacon? ugh.... plus your fridge will fluctuate 3-5 degrees over that, no thermostat is that good to keep it at exactly 33.
