So I made 12 cookies with half of the cannabutter.
I ate one about 9:30 last night. Have not been sleeping well, so thought this might do the trick. About a half hour later. I was starting to get the body buzz. I watched the weather, because we have severe storms this week. Then I stumbled to the bed and that is all I remember. Slept until 6:30 this morning and I feel really rested.
I think my cannabutter came out good.

Greeting @BigMike55,

With a hat tip to @ReikoX, here’s some interesting math on your tasty treats:

22,000 mg of 20% THC weed extracted into 8oz (two sticks) of cannabutter, and you used one stick of butter to make 12 cookies. Right?

Then: 22,000mg * 0.20% = 4,400 mg of total THC estimated in your weed to start with.
And: 4,400mg * 0.75% = 3,300mg THC estimated after extraction.
And: 3,300mg / 8oz = 412 mg/oz THC in your Cannabutter.
And: 4oz (butter) * 412mg/oz = 1650mg of THC in your 12 cookies.
And: 1650mg / 12 = 137mg THC in each of your cookies.

And, that’s enough to fell an Ox! Happy dreams Big Fella… :rofl:

Cheers,

Would you mind detailing your process for butter. I’ve tried multiple times and feel as though I’m missing the mark somewhere and yours seems right on the money!

Sure.
Measure out the amount of bud you want to use.
Crumble it up coarsely. Not chunky just coarse.
Put it in a pyrex bowl in a preheated oven. Use a thermometer in the oven you don’t want to go over about 240°F leave it about 45 minutes.
Put two sticks of butter in a mason jar. Melt it down. Add the cannabis. Put in Crockpot on low heat. I do this in the afternoon and leave it soaking in the crockpot overnite.
Then strain all the cannabis thru a doubled up cheesecloth. Wear some rubber gloves. Squeeze the hell out of it twisting and squeezing til you can get no more.
There’s your cannabutter. I like to let it partially solidify. And ten whip it high speed for a couple minutes. This mixes all the cannabis goodies thru the butter and suspends it because it’s whipped. Use it in recipes. Stick for stick. If the recipe calls for 1 stick of butter I use half of this. That’s it. Good stuff.

Do you put water in the crockpot? or just set the jar in it dry?

2 Likes

Water in the crockpot. If you are leaving it overnite put as much water in the crockpot as you can without floating your mason jar.

crockpot on high.low, or warm?

2 Likes

Low.
Actually I put it on high to warm it up good, then reduce to low.
Also. Put something in the bottom of the crockpot to keep the mason jar off the bottom. I use mason jar lids. 4 in the bottom and set the jar on top of those.
Also. If you don’t want to leave overnite, I would think about 4 hours would probly infuse your butter pretty well.

Lemme know how it turns out for you.
I have made this several times. I used 1/4 oz the first time. Not near stout enuff for my liking. Then I used a half oz the next time. To me, that was the perfect amount. To make a dozen cookies. I used the bag cookie mix from Walmart and they came out dam good. I used that several times. This time I was making some, I used 22 grams of good quality bud, and it hits Oh-my-God stage pretty quick
