Question about cannabutter

Hey guys. I have just made some cannabutter and have some questions.
Most websites I viewed said to put a dime of marijuana to a stick of butter. So what I did is started off small and did a dime and a stick of butter. I put water in a small pot and got it to boil, put my butter in there until it melted, then added weed. After about 15 minutes of boiling, I let it cool down for about 5 minutes.
After that I poored it through a strainer and into a large cup. It's been about 2 hours and the butter is starting to float and form at the top.
The question I have is.... I was under the assumption that if I used 1 stick of butter, I'd have nearly the equivilance of 1 stick of gangja butter. After 2 hours, there doesn't seem to be too much butter floating. The cookies I bought to bake with this butter says use 1 stick, or 1/2 a cup (1 stick=1/2cup.) So what now? Do I just scrape what I got, and put it in a measuring beaker and add the rest of normal butter? Do you think I will get more ganja butter if I let it set longer? Will I get a good high from what is floating on the top?
Thanks in advance for helping.

A dime of marijuana is what - a half gram or so? Generally speaking, I've found that the doses I need to get the desired effects from oral marijuana are as follows:
0.2 - 0.4 grams of very high grade marijuana 0.4 - 0.6 grams of decent marijauna
So that being said, a "dime" for a whole stick of butter seems disproportionate in that I would have to eat nearly that whole stick to reach my desired level (if in fact a dime is still a half gram)!
Barring the question of appropriate doseage - I would stir your water / butter mixture every half hour or so, and keep it in the refrigerator. This will hopefully allow the butter to better seperate and harden together - making for easier removal. One thing to consider is that your straining process may have removed a fair portion of the cannabutter as it stuck to the plant matter during the strain?
Good luck!

No, a dime being 4 grams or half a quarter bag. I used 1/8th of an ounce to a stick of butter.

Dont do the water/butter thing.
Just use straight butter and do what Geo said, let it cool in the fridge and stir often.
This raises an interesting question. If you dont stir and the milk solids seperate from the fat. Which part has the highest concentration of THC?
Whenever Ive made a batch of brownies I would simply simmer about 1/4 oz of good bud all shreaded up in 1/3 cup vegetable oil(just a tad more than the recipe) for 1/2 hour. Id never strain the weed out, just dump it all in the batch and bake.
Works every time and depending on the weed, one brownee will knock you on your ass.

Ive always destemmed and ground the shit out of the pot and just threw it in the brownies or cookies. You don't lose anything and the process is simple.
If your doing it for flavor use the butter method, but I would guess your doing it to get high.
If you used a dime bag use the butter in the brownies, but add some more pot to the mix.

I simmer the weed in oil first because a chemical process needs to take place for the proper conversion of CBD to THC.
This can and will happen from heat alone but 30 to 40 minutes at 375 in the oven (average brownee cooking)isnt enough to get the most out of your weed and youll just be eating less THC and more of the lesser cannabinoids.
Trust me. Doing this can make your brownees twice as strong as they would be if you just mixed weed in and baked it.

I added a 1/2oz of mexican schwag to 1cup of butter and did the double boiler method. Maybe I didnt stir enough but the end result smelled like weed but didnt have much of a green hue. What did i do wrong?

You aren't supposed to boil it first off, and how long did you leave it in for? Did you grind it up with a coffee grinder?
