Nope only lipids. If I'm understanding the question. I add water only to ensure the weed was in better contact. Since doing coconut oil and no water added there is almost 0 green tinge. More just a darkening but that maybe from the long exposure to 120f tenps?I also noticed that butter was much greener than coconut oil after separation in the fridge. We do it the way you described.
but isnt the boiling water needed as a carrier?

Ahhh no difference for drying? Or pre decarbing?No i was confused. We use water with coconut oil. It still comes out lighter green compared to the butter we did.
Yeah I was just thinking removing all moisture from material and turning butter to ghee before the simmering or adding material.When I have made butter, I never added any extra water in it. I would get it melted, toss in the weed and then mix, simmer, strain and put in the fridge. Mine always had that skim layer at the bottom as well, where some water and moisture would be trapped. That always was the "greenest" part of the batch. I tried cocnut oil with some cbd Harlequin, but it had the green color as well.
I would love to find a way to make it less green tasting, so your water and oil method is interesting. I've stopped making butter because of the green taste. Edibles at the store are so on point with the tastes, that once you go that route, eating something that tastes green is really hard to do.

I'm also thinking bid moisture since water is important to remove first.
Yeah I haven't done butter without. I have a bunch of coconut oil already done but kinda wondering if anyone had tried butter without water to see the difference... I really feel it would make a difference but was looking to confirm.it gets separated in a container in the fridge overnight and then poured out.
What am i missing? I have not tried it without the water. Thats where i got confused.
I always remove the water after... they seperate in the fridge. But yeah I'm cutting out water from anything from now on.I’d say skip the water. You’re not gaining anything by using it, just put directly into carrier oil, be it butter or whatever. I make quite a bit of things out of my harvests. The one thing that you do add when using water is drastically reducing shelf life. As long as your consuming fast enough it’s not a big deal. When I make balm, sometimes I use it without any essential oils and use fresh bud to get a nice scent and it comes out a nice subtle green. The water content of fresh bud is what helps bring that out. But it doesn’t have the shelf life when I do it the other way and get a brownish hue.
100% agree... the reason I do 4-6hrs is because I stay at 220f since some cannabinoids start to vaporize at around 135. I think thc is about 285? But I want to keep as many cannabinoids as possible. I believe at this temp 4 hrs is ideal and after 6 you can see degradation. But I'm am really a noob at all this. Only recently did I start actually looking at the process. Before was just decarb in oven for 45 min at 225f then bake with it.To me it just seems your adding an extra step that you don’t have to. Do it without and I bet you’d prefer it that way.
I don’t do long cooking methods either, you can get a degradation of content as well. I follow temp/time chart.
Wow I dod not think of that but because of the fat content it makes absolute sense... infused cream i could use in lots of things.I used a magic butter machine and I've never used water.
But I get green as butter when done I also simmer in my magic machine for 8 hours so time may have an effect on my colour.
I usually like to concentrate my bud into who and then use that instead of butter. I find dosing easier I just decarb the bro as I use it then melt it into a cup of whatever butter the recipe calls for of melted butter and lichen.
Also aquaman idk if ya tried extracting with milk. Seriously it works great then just use the milk in your coffee or mix it for chocolate milk.
It's easy to use in home made caramels that'd my favorite.
Where ya get your alcohol in Canada fine sir?Biggest thing is to make sure alcohol and cannabis is below -20c, then you wont extract any chlorophyll.
