cooking cannabutter with a 1/4 ounce

Hey guys, Just wondering if it would be worth making butter with a 1/4? Or would I just be best off smoking it? If cooking would be the way to go does anyone have a preffered way of doing it that works really well? Cheers

Totally. I've made canna oil and butter with just a few grams. Check out the cupcake pan method. Pretty simple for oil

I just looked into it... It seems way to easy to be true... I'm very keen on giving it a try though  How do you like to eat the oil?

I guess that depends on how much butter you want to make and the quality of the weed. Need moar info pls.
I like to boil a pot of water, throw in my ingredients, and let it lightly simmer for 4 hours. Then, I strain the liquid through a cheesecloth. While the organic material is still hot and steaming, put on some gloves and squeeze all the liquid you can out of it. You will burn your hands slightly. Put the liquid in the fridge overnight. In the morning, just pull the solid budder off the top. You can store it in the freezer, but not forever.

I love making brownies. I've made batches with just 6 grams, cut them into 20 pieces and 1 just floors you. Just be careful about the way you cook it. Makes or breaks the batch.

I don't know how much it would make. I haven't done this before but I want it to be as strong as possible. So id imagine just less butter and more weed?
Btw I like to think iv got some pretty good weed. Although I don't know the other standards ie. Middies, vap buds ect. Iv seen those terms on other sites an don't know what they mean because we don't use that slang here in Australia.

Use the amount of butter the box says to use. What will make it strong is how you cook it, cook it too hot and not long enough or too long it will burn and they'll be very weak. It's all about getting everything to release into the fats and squeezing all the amount into it as you can.

Hmm...you could probably make one stick of butter with that.
Start saving your stems and bright white seeds...the ones that pop easy. Once you get a good handful of that stuff, you can make cannabutter without sacrificing your stash.

If the 1/4 are primo buds, save it to smoke. I wouldn't bother with anything less than an oz per lb in my opinion.
I prefer to warm my butter & water in a crockpot for 8-10 hours and then put the final product in the freezer overnight. Scrape off the butter after it freezes and you're good to go.

I like to make butter using hash. I like to use wax personally, it's pretty easy actually, melt the butter in a hot water bath add ass much wax/shatter/crumble whatever you wanna call it to the butter. Stir until it's dissolved in the butter, put it in the fridge and you're good. I like to do it this way cause I like to know exactly how much is in each brownie cookie or whatever I'm making. Say you want 12 cookies that each have a half gram in them, well put 6 grams in the amount of butter you're gonna use for the cookies and that's it.
I agree with detached though, smoke it, I honestly don't even use buds to make butter anymore.

Hash goes well in butter. I've used plenty of low quality bubble in my preparations and it definitely goes for a high quality butter.
If I remember correctly, anything after a 1 HQ oz per lb is really a moot point I've exceeded that ratio before and can't tell much if any difference. I've never tried resin butter though. Always been curious about this.

could I just make 1 cookie with half a gram to test it out? I always thought wax was hard to use because the cooking temps were different. And would you say it's worth it? I pay 50/g

DAMN!!! 50 a g??? That's expensive as fuck. It would be kind of a pain to make one cookie when adding it to butter. I have though added hash in a cookie not in the butter and had great success on it working it just didn't taste the best. The temps aren't a problem really, I'm not sure if you mean the temps while making butter or while baking the cookies or whatever you might make. From my understanding heat is actually good for thc when baking because you're going to eat it and it need that heat to go through decarboxylization to make it more active.
@detached That sounds about right 1 oz per pound of butter. Haven't tried it in a long time though. Like resin from a pipe??? Sounds like it would taste horrible. Unless maybe it was resin from a wax pipe....then you might be on to something there.

There is definitely a difference between really refined wax and BHO though. $50 is kinda steep but well within reasonable expectation.

Depends on where you get it from I guess. I wouldn't pay over 20 unless it's taste is amazing. Taste is most important to me.

I would like to hear what the difference is, are you meaning refined as in purged better? Or additional steps like de-waxing or winterization?

Wax that I've paid $50 for is really ultra refined. Almost a golden color and more of a wax consistency than tar like BHO. Burns really clean and a much smoother hit.
The BHO I used to pick up for $25/g was definitely oil and not wax but still got me high as fuck.
Wax is really more like the caviar of dabbing in my opinion.

I'm guessing you've never made any yourself have you? Color mainly comes from age of the product that being blasted. It can also be how mature the plant was picked (trichomes get more orange/dark as they mature). That "oily" stuff you got prolly didn't not go through a proper purge or was an alcohol extract and the golden stuff that burned real nice probly went through a proper vacuum/heat purge. I still wouldn't pay anywhere close to 50 a g for any hash.
Annnnnyways OP let us know what you end up doing and how it turns out if you make butter. If you're anything like me you're just gonna do it anyways hahaha

Nope, never made my own extract but I've had plenty of variety in finished products to have a refined palette

Nashville, TN. I just started dabbing this last year or two and I've found everywhere that it's 50$/g. I don't really know how the price drops as it goes up I just buy a gram whenever I run out. But I'm sure it's still much more expensive, and it can be hard to find here - not too much for me - but I'm one of a very few people I know who dab so I only know a couple dealers that get wax.
I talked to a friend from FL and they were telling me how good their concentrates were, showed me pictures of bluish-clear looking slabs that I had never seen before. I don't know what kind my concentrate is I just call it wax cause more people know what that is than BHO.

Oh I see why it's 50 a g, I'm from Southern California so that's super high price for here.
Not trying to jack this thread though, I feel as if I have and that was not my intention.
