How Long Do You Simmer Canna Butter ?

My man used to do it for like 90 minutes which he said was prob too long

https://www.leafly.com/news/lifestyle/recipe-how-to-make-basic-cannabutter

According to Leafly, 2 - 3 hours. I never cook it that long, though - more like an hour.

I put my decarbed flower/hash in a mason jar with the oil, lid on, and throw that in a pot of simmering water for 2.5 hours. I sometimes put the flower/hash in a tea diffuser inside the jar.

I've never tried butter, but with sunflower oil I've simmered it for 45-60 minutes; being careful to keep a close eye on the temperature so as it stays around 225 degrees ... stirring every ten minutes or so.

used to 6-12  hours adding more water every hour or 2

could be my imagination but it seemed to get more potent the longer it simmered

now at least 4 hours

I use a slow cooker and Coconut oil

Grind, then freeze your buds before making a bundle with cheesecloth and hemp rope. 

No need to decarb your buds

5-6 hours on low 

squeeze cheesecloth out once cool enough.

1 gram of good buds = 100mg edible oil

i did this yesterday for 6 hours. Previously I've been told at least 8 - 10 hours.

This always works out well.  I added 2 cups of water each hour.

easy peasy.

3 oz of top buds : 32oz coconut oil

12 hours in crock pot on low heat

strain thru a few layers of cheesecloth, then finally thru a coffee filter

now pour it back into the crock pot

add 3 more ounces of nugs. add a half ounce of keif or some hash too if you dare.

repeat

yeah.

buckle up kids

I use the trim from the buds but after I have keefed? it through a silkscreen which crumbles the trim

1 lb of butter to a measure of keefed leaf the size of your head(i have a large skull)

never used nugs for butter 

never had a complaint except my cookies are too potent

Remember: You can always add but you can't subtract

All these formulas sound great, but in my experience, it can be much simpler and less time consuming.

I take the buds, grind them up, throw them in a sauce pan with some eyeballed amount of vegetable oil, cook over a low heat for about 15 minutes until the oil turns amber colored, and then pour the contents of the pan into a colander and let it drain.  Works well every time and gets you high, high.  Sometimes before a show, I will simply heat a small handful of flower with a couple tablespoons of oil in the pan, let it simmer for 15 minutes, and then soak it up on a piece of bread (green stuff and all).   Crude for sure, but gets you as stoned as any other edibles.

Magic Butter Machine

Wife has used this for years

Butter, oil or grain alcohol

Alcohol makes tincture in turn makes gelatin butter sticks. 2.5 oz of home grown Black Widow and she made 13 bars of gelatin. 

Different weeds have different effects, this Black Widow now puts me down for a solid 8 hours sleep.

Get it in ya

^^^Reminds me of Arrested Developments corn popper.

I'm intrigued by the "no need to decarb" contingent. I used to not do it, but it seems to be what the experts are prescribing these days.

Not really the same but if you want a 'quick and dirty' edible that takes 30 minutes start to finish you can make Cannabis  'Firecrackers'

I can confirm this does indeed do the trick.

I used to make butter and let it simmer anywheres from 2 to 8 hours. I moved on to tincture for last several years. Always decab for the tincture, not for the butter. 

My last attempt was making oil used cannabis in oil in a mason jar, then put the jar in hot water bath using my slow cooker. The results were excellent. I lost some oil in the process, but what I got was strong. I found a website that explained how to figure out potency in mgs. Good luck and Go Bills

If you're heating it to dissolve it into butter, you prob. don't need to heat it any more than that to decarb.
