Today's drug experiment got me thinking... after the nap. It is the first time I have ever felt compelled to take a nap after using weed.
The product was honey-butter I made with resin. I ate the same amount I had been eating from my last batch (A), which was also my first resin edible. This batch (B) has a bit more resin, but not enough to put me to sleep?
I set my oven to 250°. The oven thermometer said 225°. My laser thermometer said the resin stayed between 230° and 235°
The only other difference I can think of is cooking time. This B went 5 minutes longer than A. There is a visual difference when decarbing resin. When the decarb is happening, the resin melts and bubbles. When everything is done, the bubbling stops. A had a little action going on but B was pretty much good and flat when it got pulled out.
I have made successful cannabutter and am not a fan. The smell and mess of it are off putting. The taste is nasty. And it has too much water to make for a decent cooking butter.
Decarbing resin and making butter happens in a jar big enough to hold the gram and however much butter you want to melt, plus a little room in case you slosh when stirring. There is a smell if you hang around the oven. One gram of my resin in 4 tablespoons of butter leaves a firm butter with little aftertaste.
I've been thinking about making kief-butter but maybe think I might not. I don't know.
Decarbing kief is pretty much just like decarbing flower but without the extra leaf. I can pop my kief in the oven and have to trust it hits temperature in the allotted time. It will smell. And it will leave a taste and gritty, but firm textured butter.
Could a thing be to dissolve kief in alcohol to make a resin? Filter out residual waxes and particulates?
We have about 10 weeks to figure this out. I could forego my current extraction method in-lieu of making a winterized kief resin.
