Quick question to the bakers…I want to make drops to put under the tongue tintcure?
Not up on the terms / lingo.
I have a OZ of nice buds. Do I make the QWET first?..
I do not care how nasty (I think) the taste is. want to do concentrated drops.
Did I miss this scrolling thru the thread?
Am I wasting my time trying to make nighttime drops?

decarb and start with qwet. evaporate all the alcohol.

let me clarify further. then, when you are making your drops, do not cook the wax in the hot sugar. put it in and mix it when it’s starting to cool down.

A food science professor friend of mine does a decarb, QWET then evaporates alcohol down to a manageable amount he can measure out. Before bed he mixes that amount in some orange juice and consumes it that way rather than sub-lingual. MUCH less unpleasant.
Chlorophyll is your enemy here and if you run your extraction for too long at too high a temperature it will likely be pretty nasty.

I would make a qwet and stop evaporation when the desired consistency is reached. You’ll have to experiment with dosing because all I know is if evaporated all the way down to a wax, 1 gram of wax is 750mg thc.
I suppose you could concentrate it all the way down and mix into an oil if you’d rather, or just re-add some alcohol in so you can get a better idea of the dosage
Edit: And yes, decarb first.

Evap all the way makes dosing sooo much easier

I just did this. I made the QWET, let all the alcohol evaporate and then mixed the concentrate with oil. Turned out great and tastes pretty good too. Didn’t want the alcohol taste.
Wrote a little about it on my grow (towards the end) and used @Caligurl recipe for QWET and tips for the oil.

Thanks to everybody for taking time to reply. I will see if I can get the everclear. I remember the trashcan punch from my youth. I swore…I would never touch the stuff again. Did I mention I love to touch Hot Stoves? LOL

@Caligurl, So I’ve an ounce of flower that I didn’t even let dry and bagged and put in the freezer. Should I let it dry for the normal dry period or can I just let it thaw out and break up and decarb?
Thanks for your help and for sharing all this awesome stuff!

This would be optimal. You could decarb longer to force drying as well. Water is your enemy with alcohol extraction.

Would forcing a fast dry destroy thc?

M did u see the ones that @Happilyretired made I believe u stick them in ur press so they warm up and use the press to squeeze the puck. It’s just like urs without the t handle and a slug for the top cover not a t handle. Pretty sweet. I would have him make me a nice sized one but I only dab so everything I get I press for the. Part part besides a taste test lol.
