So we recently made a batch of tincture with everclear using the magical butter maching(throw in a review for it if youve used) and want to know how to reduce the alcohol content. The end product is potent but I feel it could be more concentrated and since im relatively new to all this I'd like a few pointers before I try something and ruin the whole batch

I am a puss and do it the long way...just leave the lid off the jar and let the alcohol evap naturally. You can also place in a Pyrex dish and put in front of a fan. Supposed to work in about 4 to 6 hours this way...I haven't tried it though. You can use heat as well, but like I said, I am a puss and haven't tried that.

I use a griddle on low and a pyrex dish, I put it in my garage.
Fumes are explosive so NO smoking, candles etc.
You can reduce to a concentrate for smoking or for a tincture.
I add a bunch of honey to my tincture to make it more palatable.
Bless,

I have a warming station on my electric range. I usually put the alcohol in a square pyrex dish and set it there on the lowest setting. Recommend opening up a window or two the vapors are nasty. Keep an eye on it and if it seems like it is getting to warm I turn it off and give it a break. If you are careful and do it in a well ventilated room you should be fine. Works great for me I have been doing it this way for some time now with iso and everclear.

Where can you buy everclear? I am in cali.

Everclear is available in the liquor stores in Colorado. I would have thought it is available in all states.
Regarding decarbing, I haven't had time to make you some pics. Was the video posted on that thread adequate?
I should get to decarbing this next week.

I guess I will have to check the actual liquor stores...haven't been able to find at the grocery store liquor section. I currently just use vodka.

Yes, the video was perfect...no need for the pics hun. I actually started my butter last night. I am making it my normal way for the big batch, but I took 30 grams and put it in a mason jar without decarbing it. Added the butter and did my first cook. Will try your decarb method after my final cook. I am very interested in the difference between the two methods.

153 proof diesel is awesome for qwet and tinctures. 20.99 a bottle found in tons of your larger liquor stores or in the "bad areas" of town.

There is video on youtube that shows how to reduce to make MBO, will post it when find it later. Reduction viscosity will depend on amount of botanicals u used. I like chewing gum almost consistency and cool on silicon slick pad. Used first MB n near fire as at high altitude and though manual said use altitude setting, was not on it but replaced with new improved MB2e, so beware which one u get. Love new one)

The glycerine is good if some dont like everclear sublingual sting. The glycerine us good for flavoring it with candy flavor oils like watermelon, adds to mixing w coffee, etc.
