ABV butter

I have been trying to get my ratio down for my butter. So far my results have been disappointing for me. The first time I used 28g for two and a half sticks of butter. The second time I used 35g with the same amount of butter and still was disappointed. The third time I went for 42g a little better but still disappointed. Now I am fixing to try 49g. Also I use the 24hr crockpot method to make the butter. Does anyone know of a good ratio to use with ABV butter?

Strength of your ABV has a LOT to do with it. So much depends on how much you squeeze out first. So, I can't tell you - nor can anyone else. You'll need more of darker ABV or less of "tanner" ABV. Just keep experimenting.

One tip I will offer..... you'll enjoy your butter much better with a little bit of fresh green in it. Doesn't have to be your top shelf nugs. Leftovers & crumbs, stuff that gets "pocket ground", even leaves. It will kick up your butter and take away some of the heeby jeebies you can get when it is first kicking in. I like going 1:3 with green if I can. It makes a huge difference.

I bought a small arbor press to do a great "squeeze"

I use a potato ricer with a piece of cheesecloth in it. Think it cost like $7 on Amazon.

I can't really afford to throw fresh in with it right now but I do have a press. Has anyone tried a method I saw where u use a spray bottle with everclear to spray a mist on the abv to make it absorb more into the butter?

I dunno, but that sounds like bullshit. Stick with the crock pot and refrigerator separation. But, don't expect miracles. If your ABV doesn't have much left in it, your butter is going to be weak. Just like you can't vape (or smoke) it twice, you're not going to get back what you already took out.

The idea came from High times Magazine but they were using fresh decarbed bud.
