So I ended up with just over 25 grams of decarboxylated weed, did 5.5 oz of 151 everclear per 12.5 grams* and 12.5 grams per jar*, ended up with just over 16oz of GD without reducing, filled a couple droppers for 2 buddies to test.
THANK YOU FOR THIS GUIDE!! Hoping to thoroughly enjoy this tincture!
I took a dropper full 20 minutes or so ago, definitely felt the everclear fast lol can feel a bit of a body buzz coming on but I smoke so much my tolerance is just about the highest of anyone I know, so I never expect to be floored by anything
I would try two droppers full since you didn’t reduce it.
Just a note, since you used 151 proof and not the 190 proof, reducing it will become more of a chore. Because the 151 has water in it, as you begin to reduce it the water and oil will begin to separate.
The proper way to reduce it is to reduce it to an oil, then add back the 151 proof to the desired volume.
Like ReikoX, I use it for a lot of different things, but mainly I stir it into tea or I put a 1/4 tsp (I make it strong) on my tongue. It is a lot more pleasant than putting tincture made with Everclear on your tongue. I have to look into making infused cotton candy; that is genius.
I think I’ve been using grain alcohol tincs for so long, it doesn’t bother me, but I do see the attraction of cutting down the burn! The underside of my tongue has built up a callous, lol!
Hey, has anyone tried infusing the Monk Fruit/xylitol based sweeteners? Will it work with “sugar alcohols”? With the whole “diabetes” think, I have sworn off of sugar and have been using that. Would be nice to have other options than just alcohol or VG/PG based tinctures.
If you don’t want to consume sugar or alcohol, I’d think cooking your buds in butter or coconut oil would be your best bet. However, you can also reduce an alcohol tincture to an oil-like consistency that will have little or no alcohol left and then dissolve it into a fat.
Actually, I still drink alcohol (my vodka anyway) I’m not going to sacrifice ALL of the pleasures in life!
Actually, unless I drink my whiskey or beer, my sugar doesn’t spike and I stopped taking my Metformin and have been maintaining (more or less) with just diet. I think the weed has something to do with it too, though.
My downfall is a bit of sugar (well now Monkfruit sweetener - Hey if you want to give up sugar, it is damned close) with my coffee and wouldn’t mind taking a bit of I dose when I do.
If I can make up a high enough batch of shine, I will try it and let everyone know (well at least the poor souls like me, any way). Am going to do a small run of apple shine (test) next week but want to do a sugar run soon, but I don’t want to do a big run until I finish my new boiler and have to get some bubble plates.
I don’t think many ovens heat accurately I know ours doesn’t. Around 240°F you may start losing some terps, but not enough to worry. And, like ReikoX said, the cannabinoids should still be there.
I cover the weed tightly with aluminum foil, it keeps the smell down. I see others don’t, but it works for me.
I used two oz of sugar leaf and dime size nugs that was in the freezer since June.
I combined the decarbed leaf with 10 oz of MCT Oil.
The First batch i made - I DID NOT decarb. I mixed with MCT oil , shoook a lot. And double boiled it innthe crock pot.
Very strong taste of edible / weed. I only put a few drops in my tea and it’s powerfull taste and I get a very pleasent buzz .
I also gave a friend two MCT infused oil bottles and he liked it and got stoned from it and he got friends to try it and they loved It too !! LOL
So ROUND TWO, I decarbed this wedding cake & chem91 sugar leaf n sucker buds and just infused for 4 hours @ 170-175f. Then strained through cheese cloth into jar and I have just filled up 4 bottles. Still have maybe 5-6 oz left .
The first round I use so 42grams and probably 16oz or more MCT oil . Still have maybe 8oz left.
Amazing this Oil is.
I have the ever clear …will wait to do that next.
I am defintily interested in growing some CBD genetics for infused oils.
