Magical Butter

[grokit]

Melt tootsie rolls, dump in well-ground abv, stir, portion, cool, and re-wrap.

Sounds like a good way to choke down some abv

I will try that with abv however abv won't work for what i need now. I need to be awake and coherent and have a few weeks to figure this out so need test batches to see what works. ABV is sleep couch lock shit. I love the idea though and I suppose like I said above I could melt any candy and do that right grokit? Kewl idea but can't do with fresh fuck a doodle doo. It is all tweeks fault for putting this in my head and now I can't let it go. If this was the FU thread I would say fuck you tweek

Sounds like you could just decarb in the oven... or even in the MB if you can stop the cycle without adding butter, then grind like you would the ABV and make the tootsie rolls. Since it's not actually been vaped should be much closer to 'fresh'. I would also think you could just add in the butter or oil once it's made to enough tootsie rolls and let it cool, though the texture might not be quite right. Could always keep them in the fridge. Or re-heat it for a bit and toss it on some ice cream? Who knows.

 

[Dreamerr]

The texture and taste was what I was worried about cause you would have to add oil or butter to get it all working. I was also concerned that just decarbing is not enough. You can eat, for example abv and it might work but it works a heck of a lot etter when you infuse it into something with heat and time. At least this is how I understand it and want to be so wrong.

 

[that herb guy]

With admittedly short experience, I've kind of concluded that most 'easy fixes' for edibles aren't the best tasting. Even the milkshake recipe was kind of rough going down for me, and that got a good dose of chocolate added to it. The texture would probably work better with coconut oil, or some other fat that's a solid at room temp, or at least it wouldn't dry runny. I think tootsie roll would have a strong enough flavor to mask the taste, I just don't know how much oil/butter it would take to dose correctly for you - that's really the biggest factor. Or you could make weaker batches and just eat 3-4 at a time. If you are using ABV or decarbed bud and grinding that in directly, may want to add some other flavors on top, or stir in some honey. Not sure if the tootsie roll melted down would be enough to bind with, maybe someone can chime in on that.

@ the '... works better with heat and time' that's my basic understanding too. Makes the process more complicated, but that's life LOL.

Yea herb guy I don't got time to play with this shit at least for now. I am making butter today but read the book and even know I know the mb2 says decarb on the machine I don't see it in the book. I am now wondering if I should decarb in the oven anyhow which makes things way harder for me. I am using fresh as I don't or can't sleep as I need to be able to think. I got out a pound of butter and will weight 16grams of fresh I guess. I think it said that was the high end unless someone knows something diff speak up or forever hold your peace.

I am going to have my caretaker make the caramels. If I don't have to do the work no big deal. I have three recipes and just have to decide. I did buy stuff in the store...brown sugar, condensed milk and heavy cream. I think that is what it said I needed. If you got a good one let it fly.

Herbguy once I get my needs taken care of I will play but it more then likely won't be for months like six. I will fix that silly peanut butter milkshake and try to figure out how to mask the abv better without making max's brownies although using the machine for the oil might make them better instead of tossing in abv straight. Anyhow, this is back burner stuff. I need something specific now and am running out of time so no playing.

 

[that herb guy]

I'm no stranger to a rush. Good luck with the caramels, if they turn out nice let us know how the magic was done.

As far as abv goes I would think that it's already as decarbed as it's going to get.

Also I am starting to be of the opinion that lighter abv is much better to use. I'm just not sure what's left in the darker stuff so I've been separating my abv lately and may just throw out the darker brown stuff, not sure yet.

If my abv is on the black side I'm already throwing it out.

The decarb function has worked great for me. I would start by doing what is easiest, simply put your herb in the MB2 and press the buttons. No need to make it more complicated. The machine was designed to handle it all and so far it has worked that way for me.

 

[Dreamerr]

Which instructions did you follow @VapeArts as I see they changed it to what I was going to do on there site. My instructions say 6-8 grams per cup and site now say 7-14 so I am going full ounce as I was going to anyhow. I downloaded the new book. Did you use two tablespoons per cup of soy lecitin? Did you do the two hours or to be safe do 4? Was your stuff strong enough? I am making the caramels and would love to only have to eat one but time will tell hence why I am asking what you did unless you made cake. TIA

 

[grokit]

I thought the lecithin was mainly for use with glycerine, you're using it with butter?

I have several posts on that page. But basically I used about 1/2 ounce of top shelf popcorn or trim in a pound of butter using the 2 hour 160 degree settings. No soy lecithin as I didn't have it at the time. I've had some for a while but haven't bothered with it since the butter keeps coming out so good. Only change I've made to my original recipe was to go from 100% Indica to 75% Sativa x 25% Indica to make the experience more stay awake friendly.

Yes it is strong enough. 1/2 cookie for me. 1/4 to 1/3 for the wife and many friends. Younger, dabbing all day stoner guys eat a whole one and enjoy them.

Again, I recommend you don't over think this and get on to making it and seeing what you get. That said I understand you may not have as much herb to work with as I do and that you have physical limitations I don't have so you want to get it right but still... Have fun with this if you can!

Just remembered I bought the lecithin to use with coconut oil and haven't gotten to that yet.

 

[Dreamerr]

The new recipe section in the sure site upped the herb and said SL so I have it abd why not. I will use the full ounce of sativa and hopefully one candy will do it. I am done thinking. I just called to have someone being me unsalted butter as I only have salted. Butter now will wait till Monday and candy on Thursday, results after done.

 

[eln00b]

Made my first batch from my new MB2. Went with coonut oil.

2 cups coconut oil
a couple teaspoons of lecithin
1oz top shelf

used the 1 hr setting. havent tried it yet but it looks pretty.

 

[Dreamerr]

Why only a couple of teaspoons of lecithin. Doesn't the recipe say two tablespoons? I have been trying to download the recipe book to no avail. It has the new instructions even thought the old book is still there.

 

[Seren]

This device looks great! Anyone know if there are any authorised dealers in the EU?

I've seen a bunch different measurements for the lecithin...the pdf i downloaded from their site didnt give a measurement...so, just figured I'd wing it.

I spent a week sort of obsessing over getting started. Finally just figured... its supposed to be easy, stop stressing and press some buttons.

I'll post a picture of the final product later today.

 

[Dreamerr]

Mine is running now and I spoke to there chef....I used five sticks of now what are half sticks of butter. I put in 27.9 grams herb, critical jack, ak48 and skunk with 2.6 grams of kief. I hope it is strong enough lol.

Caramels to follow on Thursday but the chef said to use tincture and butter but I just can't do it. This is going to be a week from hell and will be crying the rest of it from pain as I have to much to do. I am not making the caramels though so that is good. I decided before to measure out the amount of butter I need while it is still in liquid form to make Thursday easier for my caregiver. We cooked a lot of stuff today as I figured then she can clean up. I made cauliflower mashed, asparagus with that garlic butter I made, and about to make the inside of eggrolls...cabbage and chicken with ginger and other spices yum. I am set for a day or so depending on how much my kid eats.

This better work...............to be continued.

ELN let us know how you made out.

Ah oops....I made a huge error and I don't mind paying the price but my caregiver on the other hand oops. We didn't wear gloves and I am sure she will be super high by the time she gets home........to be continued. I am a bad bad girl. I figured what the fuck and wiped all the oil from what we couldn't scrap all over my body............see ya on the flip side

 

[eln00b]

Melted one teaspoon of the oil and combined with 1/2 Tblspoon of tempered chocolate. Let set. Ate.

Most edibles take about 2hrs before I feel any major effects...and its been about 3hrs since I ate the chocolate. I feel nice. Its very mellow..Not very strong for me at this dose, but pleasant. I do vape concentrates regularly. So my tolerance is probably not on the low end.

The MB2 does its job pretty well. I will adjust dosage and possibly tweak the recipe as I go....but I would say its a good first start.

 

[Dreamerr]

How much was the dose? I am going to put in .25 per candy but I more then likely will need two.

 

[exzachary99]

So can this machine be used to make a dab product? If so, what is required?

 

[Seren]

It's for making edible magical butter, oils and tinctures @exzachary99

Alright, so I joined the Magical Butter club.

This is my plan for Saturday morning. I have never made edibles, so I'm keeping it simple to start. The butter part looks to be pretty seasy, but please advise if you think ratios should be adjusted:

14g of top shelf bud (not ABV) in 1 pound of butter

I believe this will make butter for 2 batches of brownies, so 7g per batch.

Each batch cuts into 12 brownies, so it would be a little over a half gram (.583) per brownie.


I don't know the usual amount people aim for in edibles, but on average I go through 1g a day vaping. So I figured I could eat a brownie or two throughout a day of fun.

For those with experience with MB or edibles, please let me know what you think.

 

[Dreamerr]

I made my candy today and will update but I was just told you can't equate what you smoke with what you eat that it is different.
