Sounds like you’re screwing up the decarb somehow. Try a water bath decarb instead. You’ll get a slightly lower potency but i’ve never had problems extracting this way. Put your weed broken up into some butter. I use 20 grams weed with 250 grams of butter. Add 2 cups of water. Boil that for 90 minutes while keeping an eye on it. Pour that into a plastic jar that can withstand the heat and let it cool. Stick it in the fridge to let the water and butter separate. Remove the butter puck from the top and get rid of the water. You can add more water and boil the butter a second time to wash and clean the butter a bit but this step isn’t necessary every time. Fin.
I decarbed it now the same way I did yesterday but after that I put it in butter and double boiler for 2 hours. I'll see if I notice any difference to yesterday. If not, next time I'll probably just skip the decarb and go straight into the double boiler and hope that few hours in 100 degree C (212F) butter is enough to decarb it.
It doesn’t need to boil for hours. 90 minutes is long enough. Also you can make small batches of like 5 grams and 50 grams of butter. That way you’re not wasting so much weed.
I'm experimenting with batches of 1 gram. I don't have the luxury on wasting a ton of weed on cannabutter. I guess I'll see which method gets me most out of one gram and then scale that up the next time.
Just ate a sandwich with my most recent batch that still had the flower in there and everything. Tastes like crap. Absolutely horrible. Will report back.
EDIT: Meh.
Grind, place parchment paper on baking pan and spread ground bud evenly, decarb at 220°f for 1 hour. Done.
Eat as is, with cbd oil, infuse butter/oil, or directly incorporate into edibles.
