I read so many conflicting pieces of information about what should be used in tinctures. Any preferences?
Whats the least amount of alcohol that can be used per half oz of weed?
Are you saying is best to ground after decarbing I was going to use a blender prior though the instructions to my machine says that that's not even needed.I will assume you decarbed and ground your cannabis
You need to cover the ground cannabis
So go at least a little over the top to make sure the cannabis is completely submerged
Try the cold alcohol extraction method, less cannabis taste

Oh, ok I guess this is a oil extraction thing, I'm just aiming to make tincture.Sorry I'm not sure what the technical term is, but mixing it with 190+ and putting it in a freezer for 24-36 hours to get the fats to condense on the bottom, then pour it off to separate that layer out.
Actually, the wax/lipids stay on top, not on the bottom.Sorry I'm not sure what the technical term is, but mixing it with 190+ and putting it in a freezer for 24-36 hours to get the fats to condense on the bottom, then pour it off to separate that layer out.

Also there is a line limit on it that has to be reached in order for the blade to reach the mix, but I'm just attempting to conserve alcohol as its the pricey part, I'm just extracting sugar shake mostly.

Oh now that is strange, by definition oils should float to the top, they do in my freezer.My experience with winterizing is that the waxes and lipids end up on the bottom
Before using a buchner funnel to filter I would put my finished tincture in the freezer overnight and then use a syringe to draw the tincture and leave as much wax and lipids behind as I could

I am trying the cold extraction now. First time making tincture. Declared trim and is now in the masons.I will assume you decarbed and ground your cannabis
