Down to the last few drops of mine now - been dosing hubby's morning coffee with it. I shall run another batch, especially as I've learned a few tricks as well as buying a more accurate thermometer - heating it to infuse the alcohol in the first place melted mine LOL. The second trick learned was decarb in a roasting bag to keep in the smell. And the third... was the honey.

@Eyes on Fire!
Good to see you, Bud!

Ooo decarb in a roasting bag? Now that's an idea I'll adopt. Thanks!!

We have to be more careful of smells over here, eh Swan?

This looks great, 2019 is looking sweeet, thanks for the idea

I have a stir plate used for growing liquid yeast for homebrew, this could provide a constant mix of the honey and tincture 24/7 and I can temp control it too if needs be, I can feel an experiment approaching. Any idea how the commercial honey tinctures are mixed for the dispensaries ?

Okay, so, I am unaware of what processes the Dispensaries use. I know @Root uses a "cold" process, so as not to destroy the natural benefits of Honey, and using Raw honey would be a given. I know she has just used the open air in a warm area of our home, to let the alchohol evaporate. It takes a long time this way. Perhaps if you need to know something more specific, just ask.

 

[Eekman]

Oh, and It will depend on how much alchohol you can tolerate in your tinc.

Hi @PlantRoom
Cool! The constant mixing will help the evaporation and keep it in suspension.
Let us know how your experiment works!
If you use heat...some antibacterial properties of raw honey are affected at 98.5 F (39 C) and you start reducing enzymes at 104 F (40 C), so keep the temp down.

I have no idea how they process commercial tinctures. This is an idea I had that has worked really well for me.:smoking:

Reading through this thread and lol... pretty sure it’s not the first time! I have been making green dragon for years but I’m wondering if I could reduce/ cook off at 170 degrees the everclear first(at least most of the alcohol) and then combine with honey... reducing the time involved. Impatience and necessity dictate.
