Keye Posted March 5, 2007 Author Share Posted March 5, 2007 Hi there CT. Ok, i always have to calibrate the strength of chocolate everytime i make it. 'Cause it's different everytime. So for anyone reading this and making some - Make sure you calibrate your chocolate first!! Four chunks of this gets me nice and gently toasted for a good 2 or 3 hours ish. Eight chunks of this gets me fairly wasted and couchbound for about 4 hours but leaves me stoned-over. Especially if taken in the evening, about 6ish, it's enough to stone me for the night. I prefer the four chunks as it makes me giggly and able to use my brain well. But I haven't tried taking it in stages, to keep a nice gentle stone up. The exact mould i used: is (approx): 152mm (length) x 70mm (width) x 10mm (depth) Hope that helps somebody!!! Keye 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keye Posted March 28, 2007 Author Share Posted March 28, 2007 Hello Pimp! The chocolate wasn't burnt - but i know what you mean. After i had tipped it into the moulds, the leftovers did go all manky. It is quite close to the texture i came out with, but not the same. It is like a truffle texture, rather than a burnt texture. Keye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Stickybud73 Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 hey keye, i can tell you why you got that texture with the chocolate...Next time don't pour ANY of the water in. my experience making desserts at work, and advice from a genius swiss chef i once worked with, a few drops of water can ruin 2kg of good coveture (melted choc over a bowl of simmering water). next time drink the water. Try using the melted choc method instead of water/bud/butter in 1 pan. i.e, put butter/herb in a large bowl over simmerig water. I've experimented with this loads, making afgan biccies-great for breakfast. you can leave the butter/bud simmering for 30-40 mins, and there's no need to separate. it cannot burn, as long as there is enough water to steam. i cover the bowl with cling film, and dont even strain the ground herb. perfect for a long drive, very mellow, very discreet. boiling is a big nono, and this bain-marie (water bath) method get the temps spot on to release the thc. just my 2 cents. thanks for the info :wink: 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keye Posted October 2, 2007 Author Share Posted October 2, 2007 Hey guys, glad you found the thread informative. It is worth it, especially if you're using trim. To be honest, i don't think twice about dashing an ounce on a project now i'm growing. I'm not being big headed or arrogant, but i've lost my association between weed and money, so it doesn't mean much to me in that respect. But i started cooking and doing non-smoke related weedness when i was buying, years ago. Try vodka - you don't need much if you're using a small bottle. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This weed and butter bain-marie idea i must try though as it could save 24 hours and you could be making chocolates 40 minutes after starting, wreacked by lunchtime if you start in the morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKPOG Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Hey Keye, First I'd like to say thanks for such a great idea/process. You are truely a gem :!: I made a batch of butter a few weeks ago & made some cookies (Tesco's cookie mix) which is easy as you just add butter (I am by no means a chef! :wink:). The butter solidified well when I made it & I sat for 15mins sculpting it into a nice square after it set. I used around 1.5oz of frozen trim of POG (weighed frozen). I will used more next time with added glands from my grinder for some extra poke as the cookie recepie only needs 25grms of butter. The problem I encountered I think is that I strored it in the fridge in tin foil (to avoid detection ). The first batch of cookies were made the following day when the butter was solidified, fresh. The cookies worked well, but not strong enough for me so I ate more but I was quite proud of my first attempt. The second batch was made around 3 days later, the same recipie & butter etc. This batch had no effect whatsoever? Two days later (around a week after I first made the butter) I went to make the final batch of cookies, to my horror I could see the butter had gone mouldy Does the butter have a limited shelf life? Does it decrease in potency over time? Or did I do something wrong that made the butter deteriorate? Any advice would be appreciated as I am looking to make some more butter out of 2oz of bubble waste (from a single run) & add around a 1/16oz of keif from my grinder. I need high potency really to help my erratic sleep patterns & chronic pain. Cheers B) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keye Posted October 29, 2007 Author Share Posted October 29, 2007 (edited) HellO! I have no idea why it went mouldy! I've got some choccy from about 6 months ago and it's still okay - all wrapped in foil aswell. Maybe the butter would go mouldy on its own, but i dunno. I suppose it's like anything else that goes mouldy - the spores had to come from somewhere.... Sorry i can't help any more than that! Eating it can be a bit hit and miss, at first. It seems that way but gradually you learn how much to dose yourself with and you can be quite consistent. Edited October 29, 2007 by Keye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
