Interesting! I knew that it was dangerous - that's why I'm asking. I've never heard of an evap coil - I'll do some research. Pressure cooker? I have one of those - it seems that the combination of alcohol and a pressure cooker would be more dangerous than what I'm doing now. I am doing small batches - like 16 oz.
Either allow to evaporate or use a crock pot. No open flame.I use Everclear and the Butter machine to make a marijuana tincture but it burn to much - how do I remove more alcohol safely. Have a gas stove and afraid to use double boiler. Have used electric fry pan but that scares me a bit as I keep having to turn it off and on as the tincture bubbles and the alcohol burns off. Hoping for more advice from people doing this same thing.
As you boil off the alcohol, don't add quite as much glycerin back, starting with your 16 0z. alcohol, only add 8 oz. of glycerin back in, That would be the way I'm planning. Also adding more MJ initially, then you'd have a higher ratio of THC in the final product, and you'd need less for the same effect.Thanks - the idea about the hot plate helped as I have a gas stove! Also you were writing something about using glycerin. That has been my main method - I do that and make gummies. However, I couldn't figure how why I was gaining weight - grape juice + glycerin has quite a few calories. Thought going back to alcohol might solve that problem but the alcohol is burning my mouth, so trying to reduce the alcohol. Is there a way to reduce the glycerin too?
You can make it twice as strong and then cut with 80 proof, or let some of the alcohol evaporate and then cut. Easier just to add to coffee or other beverage.I use Everclear and the Butter machine to make a marijuana tincture but it burn to much - how do I remove more alcohol safely.

I just made my first tincture with everclear. Yes the burn a negative about it. I always make infused coconut oil. Which I use for bacon brownies but I do just swallow a tablespoon here and there. Well anyway, I am going to make a tincture again but I am going to use Bacardi 151 and at least that alcohol will actually taste like alcohol not nail polish.I use Everclear and the Butter machine to make a marijuana tincture but it burn to much - how do I remove more alcohol safely.

I was thinking too also that my brother uses the everclear to make a flavored moonshine. He uses like some cinnamon sticks and peaches and a few other things I'll have to check on that but it tastes pretty good. So maybe I could make the tincture with that flavored moonshine he makes or after I make the tincture then I try to flavor it up the way that he does. Just two ideas that I had which I will be trying in the next couple weeks.
