purchased a Magical Butter Machine about a year ago. it is one of the best investments i've ever made. usually i cook/bake with coconut oil, too much butter is left in the shake when i have to strain after a butter run. i prefer using Trader Joe's Ghee (clarified butter) to regular butter. for coconut oil i use 2 ounces of bud in 4 cups of coconut oil at 160 degrees F. i set the machine for the 2 hour butter cycle. then i take Nestle's Toll House cookies mix. place dough in oven at 300 degrees F for 15 minutes, remove and add i teaspoon of coconut oil per cookie, place back in oven for 15 minutes. Prop 215 patients from petite college coeds to senior citizens love them,

Bunch of great info in this thread. Love the individual brownie trays. No need to pre decarb when making butter as that process heats if for u, plus u usually cook with it again, thus further decarbing. As far as servings or doses. Ur lucky u get to start with already known thc%. Now u can get pretty accurate with dosages. I use .1g bho as a baseline for edibles. So your ounce of 17.8% would be roughly 5g of oil or 50 doses. But some of my experienced friends say even that dose gets them talking with god. I find that dose to keep me smiling while not to dopey, only smoke once or twice durring. If I eat 2 sometimes I work all day without smoking a thing. If I eat 3 im couchlocked and looking out the blinds. 3-5 and I usually regret it saying ill never do this again, oh why did I do it again. lol So if ur medicating somebody I start with a 1/2 dose of the .1g oil. Of course this is strain dependent and everybody is effected differently. I have turned many a people white and pale from .3g to .5g. But there is always a friend or 2 that says they barely felt it. Now u got to figure how much butter for a .1 dose per your recipe. I used betty crocker a lot for an example calls for a stick of butter. If your using 4 sticks for one ounce then 1 stick in the cookie recipe u want to make 12.5 cookies to hit the .1g dose or 25 smaller cookies to hit .05 dose and just eat more if needed. Hope this helps. Holler if u got questions.

Hmmmm.....

Hmmmm.....

1st Observation - it ground the weed so fine it is difficult to get all of the butter out.

I got less than 8 ounces of Cannabutter out of the pound.

I will re-process the rest of the pulp the old way and see how much more Budder I can get.

It may be that the filter absorbed it. I will try and find out.

So the jury is out. It may be that I need to process the material as I have in the past.

I'll know more tomorrow :tiphat:

Miraculous Meds · Sep 6, 2014

How does the grinding process work, if u could wet the material first it might not get so small.

gaiusmarius · Sep 6, 2014

i was wondering about that chopper. i think the butter needs to be hot when you filter it, but i also think it would go faster to filter it with some cheese cloth, that way you can realy press the pulp to get as much butter back as possible.

so how finely did the material end up getting from being chopped? was it like powder?

420somewhere · Sep 6, 2014

The butter was hot.
The weed was ground really fine, like a powder.
I will probably try the cheesecloth, next.

The butter I was able to retrieve looks great, I'm just wondering where the other ounces of Budder are.

I will work on it.

my friend got one . he likes it..me I still use a crock pot...going to upgrade to that nu wave induction hotplate next as It got precise digital temp controll

gaiusmarius · Sep 6, 2014

just add water to the whole thing and you have automatic temp control. it can't get hotter then boiling water, which is safe temp, if you keep it on a low simmer you can leave it for half an hour at a time on the stove and just stir and add and other glass of water when needed. it can only get too hot if you have just butter or oil, they can get burnt. but with the water in the mix you have nothing to worry about except evaporation, lol.

Miraculous Meds · Sep 6, 2014

With butter I always add 25% more butter than I want to yield cause ur never gonna get it all back out. The hotter u can press the better the yield.

420somewhere · Sep 6, 2014

Testing the Budder ...

Testing the Budder ...

OK, time to test.

I just ate 1 teaspoon of Budder, that's 5 grams.

We'll see how it hit's me in a hour :tiphat:

Elements001 · Sep 6, 2014

Want to start making some butter soon, interested to see how it goes for ya

420somewhere · Sep 6, 2014

I've made lot's of Budder and Canna Oil

I've made lot's of Budder and Canna Oil

I'll make some brownies tomorrow.

Most people have sworn off my edibles because they are so strong.

I have a very high tolerance so I am not worried about the strength. I just want to make sure I know how strong they are before I let my patients try them.

I might make some Canna Coconut Oil later or tomorrow.

Then CannaCaps :tiphat:

So the MagicButter machine works, I just think it grinds the weed too much.

I will continue to use it and see if I cam iron out the kinks :ying:

in the process.

Try starting with Canna Oil

If you haven't made Budder before, I would try making Canna Oil first to get used to the process and avoid some of the mess.

Good Luck

Elements001 · Sep 6, 2014

I've done it a couple times, but didnt work very well. Ended up burning it I think and it never was too strong. I always did feel like I got a buzz when I was standing over it stirring it though, probably just too hot.

I really like the idea of the water and the butter, sounds like it would work really well. I also have a high tolerance for edibles. Havnt had any since I quit the shady dispensary I worked at, but when I did I always did 200mg+. Never really got very high off them, they just slow me down and relax me and that's what I love. Great sleep afterward as well
