butter question

[Fobbon]

I made a batch of butter using the 7 steps here. the first batch had a good buzz but the taste was terrible. I made a second batch using all the same stuff. the difference was I didnt add the butter in the begining, I let it all simmer for 2 hours before adding the butter. Was told that way the water absorbes most of the taste. the cookies I made from the second batch only had a slight aftertaste but the buzz was not very good. So here is my question

If the THC is not water soluable and it is absorbed by the fat in the butter, did I evaporate the THC along with the water during the 2 hours I let it simmer?

The second batch of butter (I used expensive butter this time, I used inexpensive butter the first time) was all crumbly not a solid bar of butter like the first batch?

Any ideas ???

It has been estimated that around 85% of the THC is still in carboxylic acid form in freshly cut weed.

According to recent studies you need to heat the weed to around around 270°F (130°C) for 15-20 minutes in the oven in order for most of the THCA to decarboxylate into THC. I would not go much higher than that though. The results from the chromatography indicated that 212°F (100°C) is clearly not enough, even if you give it an hour or more. This also means that boiling the weed in water will not yield the best results.

THC does not evaporate until it reaches around 392°F (200°C), so keeping the temps below that should ensure that little is lost.

Once the butter is done, the oxidation process (when THC degrades into CBN) will be close to nullified if you keep the butter in the fridge.


If you want to refine the butter, repeat the process several times and sift the solution through a sieve in order to remove the green stuff. Keep doing this until you get clear butter.

If you want to improve on the taste, make vanilla cookies. I also use saffron. You only need very little of it. Combining it with vanilla and sugar will mask any residue taste that might come from the green tissue. The combination is also very tasty and gives the cookies a nice golden-yellow hue.

The butter will taste less greeeeeeeen if you cure it long enought o break down the chloraphyll before cooking it.
