My 10gs of abv is in high proof vodka in the fridge. Been two days. In England they don't sell everclear or even anything close really! I'm going to wait a week I think.

That’s good, this is the first time I’ve ever tried this and it’s blown my mind. I’m sure yours will turn out better!


Keep me posted on how long it lasts! My abv was quite brown so I figured I'd just leave it as long as possible.

Mine was extremely brown as well. I mostly consume with my davinci iq and vapcap m so it might be just as dark as yours. 10 minutes after consumption I started feeling a really strong cross between being drunk and high. An hour after consumption the strong sensation has come down but I’m feeling really mellow and relaxed. I’d usually feel like this after a abv edible.


Fabulous! Can't wait to try mine out :) enjoy!

My Dad was attempting to impress my girlfriend with tales of the poitín he has (he seems to know everyone and his dog back home). Gah... I've just realised why I should've taken the bottle back with me. I must've turned it down at least three times whilst rolling my eyes.

Also proof is double the abv (%) I believe, so 80 proof = 40% abv, or basically a strong vokda or other spirit.

Once put just shy of 4 ounces (106 grams AVB) in 750ml of Bacardi 151. I let it sit for 8 weeks.

Half a shot was really strong. That was my first attempt at Golden Dragon/tincture.

I’m not much of a drinker. Is it possible let everclear evaporate off so that it will be more concentrated?

[–]trustedLlama[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not entirely sure, maybe there’s a post somewhere on here about that specifically. I’m not much of a drinker either but I enjoyed the reaction it gave.

[–]JFKush420 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Not in 80 proof. The alcohol will evaporate before the water evaporates. If you want to reduce a tincture down into drops, you need high proof like 190 proof Everclear where its 95% alcohol and 5% water.

Even so, my last 151 tincture only required 4ml, which was a teaspoon mixed in any drink.

I have access to 95%. Let it soak, strain, then evaporate to desired volume?

[–]JFKush420 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes but be very very careful if you choose to use heat to reduce it because you are dealing with a VERY flammable liquid.

[–]RedSteppa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Even when it has high water content. At a certain point, when the alcohol is nearly evaporated the water and the extract will separate and the water can be sucked up with some kitchen paper or something like that.

[–]sycamoar 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Why put it in the fridge? Can it not sit at room temp? I would think cooler temps would slow extraction.

[–]trustedLlama[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

That would make sense. But it was a constant among other recipes that I’ve seen so why not 👍🏻

[–]sycamoar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha. Was just curious. Thanks.

Yea, I’m just going to leave the lid off to be safe lol.
