I use that gummy recipe for my RSO but use a cup of juice and 1/4 cup agave and no corn syrup. I reduce 1 cup of tincture at a time. I use the Magic Butter Machine though and the Ardent for decarbing. So much easier on me now when I make tinctures.

I have epilepsy also. I invested in the Magic Butter Machine and the Ardent decarber to make tinctures and oils. Makes it an easy no think process. I basically use the gummy recipe that @Caligurl put up. I mainly use 2oz of decarbed flower with 2 cups of 190 proof Everclear to make my tincture. I’ll use a cup at a time and reduce it down in a pan on the stove using a infrared thermometer to keep the heat in the pan around but below 200°. Once it’s reduced into a black goo I’ll leave it in the pan and add the gummy mixture straight into the pan and warm and mix there. I use a crockpot to keep it warmed while I fill the molds with a syringe but you can keep in the pan to do just keep under 200° and keep stirring it. I make my gummies like @Caligurl but with 1 cup of juice and agave for flavor. When I make them that way I fill up 1ml gummy molds and will get 550-650 very potent gummies. There’s a recipe on magic butter website and an older video on how they the reduction and gummies that helped me learn.

Hey, I’m new to this as well so I can’t provide much help, but I wanted to say it looks like you are in the midst of one hell of a harvest… I hope you are able to get your condition under control and have a wonderful life!
As the previous poster mentioned, look into the Magical Butter Machine. For noobs like us I think it may be worth its weight in gold.

Thank you for your help.I decarboxylated some buds and put them in the freezer with the everclear yesterday. From my understanding I strain it and let it evaporate some in a glass pan. After that I’m lost.

Thank you so much. I appreciate the help. I decarbed some buds yesterday mix them with everclear and put it in the freezer. I know I’m supposed to reduce it after that by letting it evaporate some but then I’m lost.

Let it sit in the freezer for at least 5 days and shake it 4-5 times a day. Strain through a coffee filter. You could reduce it on the stove, but I like to put it in a mason jar with cheesecloth over it and just blow a fan on it. Reduce as much as you’d like… you just have to experiment with dosages. Obviously the further down you reduce it, the less you use. I don’t like concentrating down to gummy-gooey because I use it more like a tincture and can add it to anything… salad dressings, pasta sauces, yogurt… So I reduce min down to at least 1/3 of the original amount strained.
Good luck! If you come up with some great recipes tag me! Always open to try new recipes! Enjoy!

Sounds like you are making a more rso than hash oil. Hash oil you don’t want the bud matter in the alcohol for longer than a minute at most. I’ve done it both ways and like the quick wash better
I make tincture. Isn’t the goal with a QWET mainly to vape it? I’ve heard that a quick wash ensures that your only washing away trichomes and not chlorophyll, because as the chlorophyll is unpleasant to vaporize and inhale. With a tincture your consuming it through your mouth, therefore worrying about extracting chlorophyll isn’t as important. Minimizing chlorophyll for a nice vape product with QWET vs maximizing potency and total yield for tincture? I don’t know, I do this for my husbands back pain and I micro dose - he doesn’t smoke/vape so I only make edibles.
Reducing the chlorophyll for edibles also greatly improve the taste

After your quick wash run the batch again with a longer soak. (48 hours) You will end up with a very nice tincture from the quick wash and a pretty decent second batch with much stronger taste. Waste nothing.

Is the difference between hash oil and rso a matter of decarboxylizing rso and not decarbing the oil?
Hash oil is not decarbed, where RSO is boiled off at a low simmer, and is decarbed.
Hash oil is typically extracted with a cold process. So it would need to be decarbed for edibles. If you were to use it that way. @Medicalman
