so started about 1/4 honey to tincture and now about 50/50 ? if it seperates you could phyfin cyphin siphin sp? off the tincture and reduce,then add back to the honey.
alc evapes at 86c ish ? just keep it below a boil in a double boiler
i think honey is mostly sugar and water and it could start to seperate at 50c and crystalize and turn to caramel no caramac no fudge no something else
at way over 100c
im known to babble at times so here goes
someones asked somewhere about the strenght of tincture,who and where who knows so il talk some here
all theory ofcourse.
the strenght dosnt change from the moment you know how much weed you put in.the concentration changes as you reduce the tincure.the amount of thc/cbn,d,s etc stays the same.the water from the missing % of the booze reduces by a smidge,we not getting over 100c but even at room temp a glass of water will vanish over time.its the alcohol thats being evaporated away.
eg. 30g (rough estimate that trichoms account for 10% of a buds weight) weed goes into 300ml booze at 88%.in theory we squeeze every ml out.we reduce that by 2/3 leaving the 30g weed in the 100ml of liquid of which now 30% is alcohol and 70% water.strenght is still the same 30g of weed but its now x3 concentrated.in theory if you keep on reducing you end up with a rick simpson type oil.and if you go even further you end up with a 3gram hard lump of like hash,and practically no alcohol.
one and only time i did a tincture i reduced closer to 1/3 than to 1/2 by accident.thinking the next time i run a tincture i will stop evaporating when the liquid only just starts to thicken up a bit.
i do like the tincture on its own,not so fussed under the tongue,seems a numbing dulling of the senses.i urge someone else to try raw vodka sublingualy,if its the alcohol that burns why did i feel nothing 88% should burn more than 30-44% ish of the final reduction ? i think it maybe the tiny particals of plant matter trichome shells and such erritating whatever tiny tubes take the thc into the bloodstream.i can see the medical values of sublingal tincture.tincture takin as an edible much more enjoyable experience for the average eejit stoner.
