re: Cannabis Oil Users Cafe & Lounge
I just strained and pressed 2 batches a couple days ago that were made with sugar trim. At the time I did not have access to EverClear, so I used Diesel 153 in one batch and Bombay Sapphire (94) in the other and let them cure in a dark area, shaking them once a day for 7 weeks. Both had been decarbed to begin with. (I use an ounce to ~1000ml solvent.) I sampled the one made with Bombay Sapphire and PK-XL by taking 5 ml. which was way to much, won't do that again
The other one is Blue Blood and Diesel 153 which I haven't tried yet.
In the next few days I am going to try to "concentrate" some using 100% Grand Daddy Purple "BUD" and Glycerine to try to eliminate the burn and terrible taste. I'd like something I can just pull out and put a dropperful under my tongue while out and about.
When available Cranberry juice is an excellent mixer. I put the tincture in 2-3 ounces of juice and actually like the taste.
FWIW, I use a German Spaetzle maker to press out all the goodies in the final stage, the trim is nearly dry when I'm done with it.

re: Cannabis Oil Users Cafe & Lounge
Yeah!!! Good to hear.. that's the plan.
Everclear is a bit much to add to anything but a tall glass of juice. But glycerin...man that stuff is tasty. I just wonder how long on the glycerin. The video I watched he said he was doing it 6 months turning it upside down daily. I don't mind the wait but I don't want to wait for no reason.
I bought out all they had at my Walmart and it wasn't enough for my jar. I found a gallon of glycerin on amazon for $14.49... So if all you do is as advertised and let it sit and you have stoney syrup you can drop anywhere well heck...Most people i think are using it to make vap oils for E cigs. So you can do what you like but a dab here and there on the go...sounds like just my thing.
I can't medicate right now anyway, probably not for another month and at that time my everclear should be good to go but it would be nice to have an idea about the glycerin.

re: Cannabis Oil Users Cafe & Lounge
I"ll get started on the Glycerin product this afternoon and let you know. I actually bought a pack of painters funnel strainers and they are perfect for the initial strain followed by a coffee filter in the bottom of my Spatzel press for a final filtration. To me this is a perfect setup.... it takes most of the mess out of the process.
I can't imagine having to wait six months unless they didn't decarb the material first. I'll probably sample in a month and see how she's doing.

I have tried making vape juice with decarbed bud cooked in VG at 150F for 48 hours (using a light bulb as heat source.) I got a nice flavor but the pure VG did not seem to pick up any of the THC. A slight body buzz when drinking the VG. Chain puffing the vape just ended up burning my cotton wicks and creating lots of vape.
The Magical Butter basic tincture recipe suggests everclear and VG are interchangeable, so maybe it was a flaw in my decarb process.

re: Cannabis Oil Users Cafe & Lounge
I have a batch of Glycerin and everclear from the same stock going at the same time I started yesterday. I just wanted to know when to start testing.
Do you think those gaskets will be an issue? Should I transfer to a regular mason jar? I like these ones as they are bigger.

re: Cannabis Oil Users Cafe & Lounge
I don't have my cheat sheets with me right now but if I remember correctly I believe I decarbed at 240 for 50-60 minutes. Not saying this is "THE" way to do it, just what I did.
re: Cannabis Oil Users Cafe & Lounge
My decarb fucked up a bit. I was looking online and it seemed 240 for about 27-30 min was good. I got my oven right on at 240 and it was fine for the first 15 min but after I pulled out and turned the weed it overshot some point in the next 15 and went a bit high for a bit. I got it all out at 30 min but like the last 10 may have been a bit high. So we shall see. I should have enough there if I let it sit long enough. And it is still a decent side by side regardless of the overall potency.
Maybe at 6 weeks I'll pull a little from each jar.

re: Cannabis Oil Users Cafe & Lounge
I have never turned mine upside down, but rather just gave it a good 5 second shake once a day. Your containers and gaskets will be fine for that.
I really think when you get into the extended cure times with tinctures it is if you do not decarb the product first. I know the first batch I ever made was out of junk trim, but it was decarbed and then I let it sit for just a week. While not as strong, it did work. Someday I'll try the fast soak with sugar trim or bud and see what that gives up. I believe after decarbing a month it "should" be good but I did not need mine so I let it cure until I did. Just one guys opinion

Seems like Tim had talked about that "Press" method last year. I'll look around on the Making oil thread today and see if I can find the posts.

Thanks guys for this discussion on tinctures. Very insightful.

re: Cannabis Oil Users Cafe & Lounge
I just found the posts, they were in regards to making something similar to BHO using a press, called The Rosin Technique, not really what you guys are talking about.
Just in case it comes up here, in regards to pressing the buds, there was a video posted on a couple of guys' trying it, and then later posts Tim actually tried it and gave his thoughts.
Starts right about here, but there are some posts before that:
