I get many questions about how I make cannabutter. There are many different methods but I prefer this one:
This is for making a small quantity of cannabutter. To make butter on a larger scale, just increase the cannabis and butter (60g cannabis for every pound of butter you add). I have successfully made pound for pound cannabutter (1lb butter, 1lb cannabis) however you do lose lots this way, as the butter sticks to the plant matter and is harder to remove ..... but it sure as funk makes a heck of a potent butter!!!!!.
You will need:
1 large pot. I use a 12Q stock pot
Large spoon for stirring
Cheesecloth
Elastics
Strainer
Another large container that the strainer fits on top of
Potato ricer or masher to squeeze the remaining butter off of the cannabis
1lb of butter
60g of cannabis (trim, shake or bud)
Paper towel
Microwave safe bowl
1. Cut the butter up into cubes
2. Put cannabis and butter into pot
3. Fill pot with water to about 6" from the top
4. Put on stove at lowest setting. You do not want boil the ingredients, you want to heat them. Some bubbling is expected but keep it to a minimum. If you have to remove it from the burner for a bit, that's fine
5. Leave heating for 6-24 h. stirring every half hour. I usually heat mine for 9 hours.
6. When ready to strain, I triple layer the cheesecloth and line the strainer. I use elastics to keep the cheesecloth in place around the strainer.
7. Put the strainer on top of the empty container.
8. Pour the cannabis/butter/water into the strainer.
9.Secure the cannabis in the cheesecloth and squeeze out the remaining butter making sure not to get any plant matter into the water and butter. You can use a potato masher to help or you can put the cheesecloth bundle into a potato ricer and squeeze.
10. Place container with water and butter in the fridge for 12 -16h.
11. When the butter is finished, you will see all the butter has hardened and risen to the top creating what looks like a *lid* on top of the water. Take a butter knife and remove butter from sides of the container.
12. Remove butter and let excess water drip off. I use a bowl lined with paper towel for this. Once dry, remelt and put into an air tight container ........
VOILA YOU HAVE CANNABUTTER!
