Mini batch of cannabutter/oil? * 1
    #26719260 - 06/04/20 01:42 PM (3 years, 7 months ago)

Hey has anyone ever successfully made a mini batch of cannabutter or coconut oil? I dropped off some live resin the other day for a friend to try as a belated birthday gift and she gave me a few nugs(maybe 2g) of some platinum berry kush.

I only vape and ingest weed these days to help spare my lungs a little, and I don't have a dry herb vaporizer. I was gonna use some of it to make a firecracker tonight, but I was wondering if anyone had success making anything a little more..refined than that with such a small amount?

Idk if this helps, but Ive been doing something similar but using Ghee instead of normal butter.
I don’t do anything fancy - just make sure the cannabis is finely ground, heat up the ghee & let the herb infuse into it overnight.

Next morning I can eat it str8 up, add it to coffee, or put it on toast - eat or drink & get all the desired effects.

Small batches are very easy to make this way & practically idiot proof & so far have all been very effective.

I generally use a gram of cannabis per each generous table spoon of ghee.

Hm, alrighty - sounds about right. Do you find the ghee is more effective than regular butter due to the increased fat content? I prefer coconut oil because I like to infuse it and put it in smoothies, but I might try making some ghee instead :shrug:

Last time I made edibles I decarbed a few grams of weed (3 I think) in aluminum foil in the electric oven for like 15 minutes, made an extract with 96% ethanol (soak it for about 10 minutes, you don't need more and even 1 or 2 minutes will suffice), dried it off and then dissolved the resulting extract into liquid butter in baign marie in about 10-15 minutes. I don't see why that process wouldn't work for what you got or in smaller quantities, just adjust the amount of butter accordingly.

It has the benefit or disadvantage depending on what you like that it will taste less like cannabis.

I JUST DID.

throw it in oil at the lowest temp on the stove where you see a little amount of foam coming off the weed

when it stops bubbling and is crunchy its done

it takes about 10 minutes

i prefer coco oil to butter cause of the higher smoke point and no milk protein to burn.


I have a dedicated pot and steel strainer for making edibles at this point.

PB, in my experience I prefer ghee.  I haven’t tried making it with coconut oil before though, just regular butter & ghee. 
And ghee wins by a long shot.

Reminds me....


It was 2003/2004 , i would take some hash, put it in a ladle, add some sunflower oil, heat the ladle above fire on a gas stove until hash dissolves , then pour the content into a single sized yogurt, mix it, and then eat it :wink:

A recipe i picked up on good old overgrow :gethigh:

Yeah it seems like there is a pretty significant chunk of the population for whom edibles don't seem to do much for. Sucks, yo.

That's pretty awesome! Hot extractions still intimidate me. And we have a gas oven here, and no more high proof. My oven back home is electric though, so maybe I'll give this a try another time.

That's pretty much what I was gonna try. Might give it a try in a mason jar in a water bath.



How long do you guys decarb btw? I do mine at 220 for around 40 minutes.

I microwave decarb, takes around a minute to do in small batches.  Never had a problem.  Though I know some people fuck it up and then cry that microwave decarbs don’t work.

I go for efficiency.

I've heard that you can do that but I'm afraid I'm gonna somehow fuck it up :okay:

Guess I'll do some googling and give it a try :shrug:

I don't heat the ethanol. I put the ground, decarbed weed into room temperature ethanol, shake it around for 10 minutes and then filter it and place it in the jar I'll put in baign marie later. I then let it evaporate on it's own, sometimes assisted by a fan at room temperature. I only involve heat once I add the butter to melt it and to help the (already alcohol free) extract dissolve into it. Sometimes leaving a couple drops of ethanol in the extraction helps it dissolve even quicker into the butter/oil.

Most stoves and ovens here are gas, so getting any solvent near them is a no go.

What's your process for microwave decarbing Blind Ass? It's been pretty hit and miss for me.

oh shit, my bad, I misunderstood.


Hm, I'll give that a try sometime. I haven't ever made my own extraction and they're so expensive in my state, so I might as well grab some flower next time I'm at the dispensary and give it a go. Maybe I'll try a good old fashioned everclear extraction first. Probably easier to get than any other kind of high proof alcohol at the moment.

Honestly, I just go by my gut and senses... always had a knack for it :shrug:

Let’s say I’m working with 3 grams of bud, I would do that in 2 batches.  I’d first microwave the ghee on its own for around 2 mins.
After is done, I take the finely ground herb & throw it into the liquified ghee and set it for another 30 seconds.  After that I take it out and check it and repeat once or twice until ready if necessary.  I’ve had some done on 45 seconds set to med-high. 
Do the same thing over again with the 2nd batch of herb.

When I started doing this I played around till I found the right amount by testing it in  .3 g  of nug in a small teaspoon of ghee batches.

Gets me high as shit that way, usually too high at first & I’ll have to find a happy medium with how much to eat or drink.

I think a lot of it depends on what condition your bud is in and how the grower prepped it and all that & what your microwave settings are on.

Out of 7-8 times I’ve messed it up once.  (I microwaved the cannabis alone - which was a big no no - now I only do it when it’s already submerged in hot ghee and not directly exposed). Since it was only 1.5g it was no big deal. 

I say,  do what works for you.  I was scared I would waste everything due to most things online repeating experiences with people burning their nug to a crisp or deactivating it somehow.  But  Idk what they might have done  to do that.  Maybe the bud I was getting was prepped in a way and sat long enough to decarb some on its own and then I helped it along - not really sure, just know it works for me with this method.
Do what your comfortable with.

ok I decided to try olive oil because the good butter's frozen, and might as well try something new. It's on the stove top now. Pretty delicate effort not to torch it. I also threw in a bunch of fresh herbs from the garden to infuse some other flavors into it, and I have a fuck ton of chickpeas, so I'm gonna try and make some infused hummus to snac k on tonight.


Worst case scenario I'll just have a bunch of delicious hummus that doesn't get me high :shrug:
