Very nice, motivates me to take pics when I make my next batch! Do you think that adding the lecithin while cooking the butter/oil is better than just adding it to the recipe you're making?? Oddly enough my daughter asked a good question one day while I was cooking it that way, she said "Mom, if the lecithin allows fats to break down to be absorbed wouldn't it start breaking down the fats while it's cooking??" That's what I get for having a college bound microbiology major,,, she asks questions I can't answer anymore,,, I miss the good old days of "Why is my poop that color?" questions.
Cool butter recipe, MrPeab. I would like to try making butter sometime, so I'll definitely be saving this for future reference. Thanks for sharing your process, and I'm glad you found a thing or two from my recipe that helped as well. I mean this sincerely - you should post a new thread with your recipe so it isn't hidden on page 3 of this thread. I think it deserves it's own home so more people can benefit from it who want to use butter for baking brownies. Nice job! Oh, and you got me thinking - I may use one of those mini-muffin sheets next time. Does seem like a good way to keep the dosage in check!
Thanx Xlr8
And ya taught me how to make oils at the same time TY TY TY
Can baking like this method make my canabutter better?
Hey! Xl-ent recipe! I shall now have to post my Canna-butter! I just wanted to point out though that if you chose not to dacarb your flowers before adding to the oil, it really should be tended for about 5-6 hours for full potency, and it will be just as strong, if not stronger, but make absolutely sure that the heat is on its lowest possible setting, so as not to go over 215* F. once it gets much over that all THC will be lost, as it vaporizes at about 260*-300*.
Jandre!
I agree on the temps being important - I use a candy thermometer to continuously monitor the temps. I used to heat the oil for several hours like you mention, but decarbing is pretty quick and easy... It makes the recipe extremely potent without needing to tend to it for 5-6 hours. Good point though, I'm sure that would help maximize the potency/infusion process too.
Also, if your material is really, truly dry already - it's pretty well decarbed. It decarbs over time on it's own as it dries. Wouldn't be necessary to decarb before heating in oil.
Ironically and interestingly - and contrary to popular belief I think, you could eat the raw cannabis and get "high" when it's fully dry/decarbed, too. No brownies necessary, but... GROSS!
(Jandre, I know you know all this, merely expounding for others reading this too. This is the kind of stuff it took me a long time to figure out... and a lot of wading through B.S.)
Hey guys Xlr8.... jandre2k3
I make my canabutter in a crock pot (set it and forget it on low) and it works well. I Didn't realize that I was decarbing it as I was slow cooking.
Anyways I just tried this method with a little oil I had in the house and the crock-pot on low. I can't wait to try it, never new making oils could be so easy.
Any1 else use a crock-pot for oils or butter? Is there anything wrong doing it this way? Can you cook it to long?
I will report back when I can use it as I blew out my stove and dryer the other night swapping shit around in my breaker box to accommodate my new grow rooms.
All i ever use is a cock pot, I guess you could cook it for too long. The main thing is to not go over 200F.
Some days i wake up get my batch altogether then cook it all day from say 10-11 am to 8-9pm. (butter or oil)
I use a solvent transfer from Green/Gold Dragon to my butter as I need it for a recipe. It allows me make my cookies and brownies to the potency I want without any weed taste or smell..
