I have no idea how the butter did not come out perfect as I babysat the process for 6hrs. Stiring every 20min or sooner. The heat was on ultra low (cooked in a small pot) the whole time besides one point (described later)The color was very dark but heard that does not matter as potent butter can be either color. The cococut oil itself was not even melted at high temp. The end result is butter that is dark brown.
The last hour, I decided to slowly increase the temp. The consistency stayed very thin and read it's supposed to thicken/look glossy so that's why I decided to slowly turn up the heat. At this time when I'd take off the lid to stir, it black fumes were coming out so I turned it down and kept it at low temp for the last 40ish min. Is it possible this step messed up my butter???
This butter smells like burned popcorn. I added 22grs of various buds, all indica and most rather strong. 3gr of that mixture was a batch of bad kush a guy sold to me, popcorn style and burned horribly when rolled in a joint. I'm guessing that's where the horrible taste is coming from that was increased by the short high temp spurt.
The reason why I used a small pot was because the surface area on a crock pot is rather large. I figured the lack of depth would make for a butter that would burn easily. So a nice deep pot with less surface area would decrease my chance of a burnt product but happened anyway.
So any ideas what happened? I'm kinda lost even though I've viewed pretty much every vid on this topic and read many links as well.
I took about 2.5ml almost 2hrs ago. I think I feel a bit of a head buzz but that was a small dose. Can't expect much from half a tea spoon given my ratio of weed to butter. Gonna redose in 40 min.
Sorry for the long story, just tying to detail everything as well as I can to paint a clear pic of the process...
