Extraction BUTTER GOOD OR NO GOOD?

[jhnfrmrby420]

Ok Chopped my only girl, put the leafs and trimmings in a crock pot with water, 1lb of butter, on med and simmered 12 hrs. Question is, even though it never went over 225, the weed was burnt and the butter has that burnt taste, I can deal with that, but is the THC alright???

It should be fine. I use a crock pot all the time to make budder.

In the future add some water too the crock pot. It will prevent the butter from burning. Then strain and let the liquid cool down. The butter with all the good stuff will solidify on the top, nasty water down below with stuff you don't need in the butter.

I live in the damn woods and all these old farmers that grow a few plants to sell all have the same weak reg weed, full of seeds, it sucks, have to smoke like 2 bowls to get buzzed, everyone has the same crap, you cant find anything better, believe me, I've tried. Thats why for quality weed I had no choice but to buy some seeds......Anyone know anyone thats would ship edibles to US Adress PM me? Cookies, Brownies, I'd even go for some decent butter.

Hey Smashed, not to get off subject, but I noticed your Anarchy in the USA. SONS OF ANARCHY ROCKS! Anyone here watch it?????, Its getting SICK! have no idea what angle they are going to take being next year is the LAST season

I got a recipe for edibles and it calls for 1/4 of bud(or a bunch of trim) and I think a cup of vegetable oil....I cant find it lol But my point is from my experience, and what ive read, Its much easier to make budder from oil as it does not burn as easy as butter, and THC is fat soluble so it sticks to butter, veggy oil, etc.......

Ive never gone wrong with the old water and butter mix. Just combine the water and butter and product and simmer for 3 hours. Quick strain through some cheese cloth, and let it chill in the fridge to separate. Ive never tried the crocpot method because I was afraid I may get the same results as you. Good karma to you man.

yeah, nbext time I'd reccomend the water method... thats what i sue too... that regulates the temp better than butter which is basically fat or oil... and doesnt boil therefore releasing excess heat (over 212 F)

also, I prefer coconut oil as it is easier to work with, has many more health benefits, doesnt burn as easily, and gives a killer flavor in any edible! (especially chocos)
theres a section in tips/ tricks knoeledge base how to make butter / oil - have a read

I'm very sorry to hear you lost your father... that certainly is hard... and without smoke way harder I'm sure...

my deepest condolences mate
