Looks awesome @Papalag, I’ve gotta give this a try. Have you seen this thread, all kinds of tincture info.
It was my favorite at one time. Also made in corn syrup. I have had it in honey. One of my buddies makes in Everclear. He had to drops it was pretty good. Some people would Vape it. It wasn’t made like the stuff I see you today. Glaslyn. I believe that’s how it was pronounced. I got it in California. You could get a big bottle for about $50. The bottle is what cost the refill was like $20. You could take a dropper full it was like smoking a joint. He made lollipops also. They were the fire. It’s cool to see that kind of stuff I hadn’t seen it in years
Exactly what I used
I full clear capsules with it normally
But I think I’ll boil off the a alcohol and make oil
@Qtip
That’s a great thread I’ve got some good info there
Hopefully @Gardenartus will post a few of her recipes they are the bomb
Drink it! Gag me! Ha! Man I hate alcohol tinctures, I used to make glycerin tinctures now I just use MCT oil. You can infuse so much it is crazy, honey, corn syrup, I even make simple syrup. I don’t think the directions for making THC simple syrup are correct, a matter of fact those directions outright suck lol. The sugar ends up crystalizing with those directions. I put a touch of corn syrup in there, glycerin, cream of tarter, and I do not boil it! Crazy directions. Sorry kind of taking over your thread Pap.
@Gardenartus your always welcome to jump in my thread please do
That’s some great advice!!! Who wants granular tincture? Lol
She infuses the glycerin instead of using alcohol I believe but I’m sure a Garden will come by sooner or later and hopefully she’ll explain the process . I’ve had some of her tincture , and her goodies that she makes and I have to say they are very good , tasty and she does a wonderful job of it ! right now I’m on a canna sugar kick the wife and I seem to prefer it in our coffee.
I wish I was able to grow more so to make a bunch myself but that’s not going to happen the mrs will not let me take any more space like with a wife
That’s what I mean… I doubt if like it any other way lol… it sounds great!!
I’m going to have to catch up on this thread…when you say shake, strain, separate, re freeze… is putting the Everclear in a freezer somehow separating out the hash? I do the Everclear and mixing up the weed but then it goes in a rice cooker and gets boiled… how many posts back should I be looking?
Man idk… @Gardenartus says no boiling… etc…
What are the benefits of removing the waxes and lipids? Or anything for that matter?
I’ve been making grain alcohol tincs for a while… and, I’m probably doing it wrong, lol!
I put 2oz of weed in a quart jar with 500ml of grain alcohol, stick it in the freezer, and shake it whenever I remember…and my memory’s not that good.
After a month, or so, pour it through a coffee filter, and call it a job done.
Tastes terrible, and burns like hell if taken sublingually!
I make it for a few friends with cancers, and Ms Horse, and they all take it in some sort of drink… Ms H prefers hers in vodka!
They all love the effects, both bodily and mentally. I’d thought leaving as much of the plant’s properties in would be more of an entourage effect than removing anything, but whadda I know, I’ve gotten used to it under my tongue, lol!
Sounds terrible man lol
It must be me , I must be crazy I look on Instagram and I see all the great looking strange coming out by all these breeders know and unknown to me ! Once I look on the seedbank and I find out that they’re priced at some ungodly amount of money that there’s no way in hell I could afford! damn skippy it only weed what is wrong with these people ! lol
I use my Magical Butter Machine for tincture. Add 3oz decarbed flower and a bottle of Everclear, then let the machine work it’s magic. Pour through the strainer when done to remove plant material. Pour through a coffee filter if you want to purify further.
I usually add a splash of water to 1ml of tincture in a shot glass. Swish it around in your mouth until you’re tired of it, then swallow. Effects kick in quickly when consumed buccally.
That’s exactly how are used to make my tincture a month in the cold , place in the dark maybe even two months , it would come out green and nasty tasting ! I find out the freezer method you only need two or three shaking s a day for 1 day wow mind blown after freezing for the first day it settled and it turn from green to Amber the whole point i see is used to get rid of the chlorophyll taste and color !
the alcohol strips the Tricones very quickly so no sense in keeping it 30 days in the freezer this is from everything I’ve read our gardenartus confirmed it. I also think that what ever left over material in the tincture is Trash it should be removed anyway and most likely has no value
Tastes terrible, and burns like hell if taken sublingually
It sure does yuck Lately I’ve discovered these pills
I fill a bunch either with tincture or oil got 500 on AmazonI get that, but I think there’s more medicinal properties to weed than just trichs, but I have nothing to back that up… like most of the stuff I think, lol!
But now I’m thinking (i never did know when to quit!) I should tumble the trichs out of a couple of zips, and give them a swish… hmmmm…
Hopefully I didn’t come off acting like a dick
I’ve read about juicing the whole plant which gives a completely different affect and makes available different properties ! So I guess it Depends upon what ails you
Very cool descriptions you guys!!!
You’d have to do better than that, lol!
You did make me get off my lazy bottom and throw a couple of oz’s of SSDD trim in the tumbler, though! That was just more like a little prick!
Though, your juicing comment made me think about carbed vs decarbed… will this fighting in my head ever end, haha!
