You have to use sufficient greens for the screen to press down on them

* The oil that is left in the greens is uber potent. Thinking it was diluted I made a tea that kicked my ass for 6+ hours. lol

I think it is better to use the oil to make icings for the cookies, brownies, instead of further cooking at ~ 350*s

Thanks for the tea idea!! I only press once to make cannabutter. I blew out my wrist for 6 months first time I tried pressing, so avoid the extra runs. How do you store the leaves?? Do you freeze them?

Not following your question. Once I am done pressing they are tossed

I was thinking of pressing once to make cannabutter, then saving the leaves to make tea, and get the last out of it.

I do not know if it would survive being frozen wet or dry.

Just take the left over (after pressing) and make a tea. Just be careful. It's a lot more potent than you would think

ive found that on average the greens contain the 50% of butter you are missing
that confirms the potency flora is speaking of

So if i cook a pound of butter im getting at most 52% by weight back
even using 92% butterfat high end butter

I have a crap load to run. The first batch I made I used butter. The second run which I have not tried yet (probably have 100 frozen cookies that are strong as hell, only eat about a quarter for a good high) was made with ghee. Found a guy on e-bay selling 3.5 pounds of ghee for $30.00.

I have tons of lesser buds from GG4. I will have to experiment on storing the extracted leaf in freezer. Will try freezing wet and dry. Will also try making super concentrated tea, then make ice cubes out of it, store them in large ziplocs, and use them as needed.

do you have a link to the 3.5 pouds of ghee for $30?

thanks

Like anything, not all ghee is equal. If the butter comes from CAFO I would avoid it. I contacted them, but chances are if it was properly sourced they would promote that
