First timer here, and I hope that I am posting this in the right place. I am trying to make a marijuana tincture using everclear. I used a small personal bottle with some collected stems and some carboxylated bud. My problem is that the everclear stings way too much. I know that I need to let the alcohol evaporate, I am just trying to figure out the best way to do it. It's such a small amount of liquid that I am a little worried trying to put it on heat and I don't know how to judge how much has evaporated if I set it out. What would you guys suggest? I want to reduce the whole bottle by about 50%. I don't want it to be completely dry because I still want to use it with a dropper. I don't need ALL the alcohol out just enough to reduce the burn. Also I have a few more questions:
If I remove the everclear from the tincture does that mean I can no longer add to it? At what point could I no longer benefit from adding more product? Is there a point where the alcohol is ever no longer effective at breaking down and extracting the THC (sorry if I don't know the correct terms).
I was initially told to keep it in a cold dark place like a freezer to keep it from getting a bitter taste. Will leaving it out on a counter to evaporate hurt the tincture?
Someone told me to try flavoring the tincture by letting a green jolly rancher dissolve. Would this hurt anything?
again sorry if anything sounds like a silly question. This is the first time I have done anything like this and I just want to do it right. Thanks in advance for any help or advice you may have.
