Do I have to decarb before I make tincture.  
Right now I’m chopping up some flour and about to mix it with some alcohol but do I have to decarve it 1st

You may want to try to find something stronger than 100, most making tincture get 190.

Final product can be decarbed after, but it’s easier when done first.

Need 190 proof. Also decarb first works best. 220-230 for 30 minutes.
