Help with Tincuture!

I'm sorry that the guide you used left out the two major steps for the tincture. Tell me about this freezer method that you used. Did you let it steep? If so, then that's why it tastes so bad, chlorophyll.

How much material and how much alcohol did you use? Is the Everclear 151 or 190 proof?

 

Only one gram or one ounce in that 16oz of alcohol? If 1g then add some more to it. It's easily fixable. Do you have more you can add? We can overcome just 1g by adding a few more that are decarbed.

If 1oz don't add more but you should take it out of the freezer and strain it then filter it. I can give you more detailed info. Whichever it is, you'll need ventilation for the reduction and concentration of your tincture. Don't use the gas.

Usually we coarse grind, decarb at 240°F for 40minutes then place in the freezer separately from the alcohol. That guide had you do things in reverse but only important thing they left out was the decarb.

 

So, I guess that means you used 1g and not 1 ounce so you can overcome that easily if you want to use another half ounce. You only leave the decarbed material in the freezer for 24 hours. Place your already strained dilute tincture back in the freezer for that same 24 hours. Of course, they can be in there longer if scheduling becomes an issue.

After 24 hours you will mix the two and shake for a few minutes. Here's my guide you can use but mainly check out the video at the bottom of the page. That will give you some pointers. Another Tincture Thread - Try it, Youll like it

You can concentrate as you wish depending on what you want to do with it. If you want to make hard candy with it you should leave it as a concentrated tincture. You can use it as a tincture, too, if you want and if you concentrate it down to the gooey oil, you'll have RSO.

 

Don't be hesitant to ask about something either here or in my tincture thread.
