What happen to all my cannabutter? - Cooking With Cannabis - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

herbaleffect · 07-23-2013, 07:54 AM

i put about 3 box of butter into a pot of water with about 2lb to 3lb of trim and fan leaves on low fire. I got about 1 box of butter after it was all done. where did it all go?

i have the water that is left over, can i do anything with that?

By box you mean a LB of butter? You lose some of it in the process... I am not really sure what happens but I have noticed it as well. It probably cooks off or something. No worries that one 'box' of butter will be plenty potent! If you put 2-3lb's of trim especially...

Should be able to make a decent amount of brownies.

Would love to hear an explanation of what happens to the butter though...

As far as the water... I would not touch it... I always pour it down the drain...

Butter isn't pure fat so some is lost as dairy product moisture and some fats stick to the trim so give it a good pressing.

o.... ok. is there a good brand butter that dont evaporate that much?

You can also use cooking oil instead of butter if you want a bigger yield. It can be used the same in most cases.

Pour boiling water over the trim. A good bit of the butter is stuck in the trim..

yea, that sounds good. ill try that.

should i boil the old black water that i got the butter from and add more butter to it or is it all gone.

when i make butter, should the trim be filled to the top and the water barely covers all of it?

i like to use helllla water.

it such having to use so many containers to separate the butter.

but i find the extra water pulls more chlorophyll out of the final product than if i used less water.

is it still good to do this after a couple of days has pass?

Mmmmm no probley not.. Next time when ur straining the trim boil some water and pour over the trim it works better if the trim isn't squished together so the water can contact all the trim.. Good luck..
