2 oz of bud, decarb in oven @ 220 for about 1/2 hr or till the smell becomes a little "dank" and sprinkle 12 grams keif when decarb..put in butter maker...10 oz glycerine (food grade) about 2 oz + of water, hit tinicture button. Run cycle twice with cool down inbetween . (ie...more potent..put in dark for 30 days and then redo the cooking in butter maker one more time...then strain in cheese cloth and then a nylon stocking and then a potato ricer press..and voila...very potent tincture..it works awesome and creates an awesome body high. Also works great with olive oil for cooking...canni oil for your morning eggs is highly recommended...and this machine does it all...best investment I made. Word of advice ...stick to indica strains

I was wondering the same thing and haven't been able to find direct instructions, but I noticed depending on potency you and about an ounce of dried herbs per batch, and it's recommended to use high proof alcohol (Bacardi 151 or higher) but you can use nonalcoholic ones too.

If you are using the bulb tea, you will have to make a full pot. The pots aren't that big anyways. If you use loose tea leaves, then you can make a smaller amount. If want even smaller than don't use that pot.

To be honest I was doing that - just a dab but I started buying a different brand that is a little less potent (this one is 1000 and the one I use is 960 I think) and it came with a small spoon for easy measuring. This one was a bit much for me, even though its not that much higher but it seemed to cause me issues so i needed a bit less strength. You have to go with how you feel though, every woman is different for sure. :)

I think the variable temp is important. Some things just won't dry out at lower temps, and herbs and other "delicate" things won't retain as much flavor if dried at higher temps. This isn't theoretical, I'm telling you from experience and experimentation.

The leaves were dried to perfection :) You may make tea with it directly, or boil/steam it, or directly mix it using blender together with other ingredients as you please. Please do email cristina@eatgreentea for further inquiries and concerns.Best regards, Cristina EatGreenTea

No, it takes double the amount of fresh herbs than it does dry. for instance to replace 1 tablespoon of fresh herbs with dry, it will take 1 teaspoon. so I don't think it would work well for dry no.

Well, I use about 5 tbsp. of my homemade vanilla extract which is made from vodka and it works fine, takes about an hour to make a batch. I hope this helps in your decision.

I would look up a few recipes and use those as a guide for adding frangrance. 50 drops seems like a really large amount for the package - I think I used about 12, but it will depend on what you are adding and how strong you want the scent.

They have recipes for cooking oils like that. It does not burn the oil or the herbs, making it very good for that.

Tom, thank you for your reply. I went to Grazia's website and asked the same question. Hopefully they will email the recipes to me. We'll see. Thanks again.

It was my impression that it is simply harvested and ground up, it's not in tincture form. If you wanted to make a tincture, you could mix vodka with the ground root and let it set for a week or month.

The herbs will cook down to about 1/2 to 1 cup of liquid. A pot of herbs takes about 3-4 hours to cook. The pot will automatically click over to the "warm" mode when it's finished cooking. Once it does that, you can pour off the liquid. I suggest using a small strainer when you pour it into your cup. Then put the herbs from the strainer back in the pot if you'll be using them a second time.

Hello Kevin: we are doing 27g of beans and then grind, fill to the 400 ml level and we feel we are making a really fine cup of coffee. We worked to this point mathematically then tweaked to taste. To get to the 500 ml, do the math and then tweak to taste and I think you'll be fine. 27 divided by 4 is 6.75 so add another 6 and three quarter gs. of beans and fill to the 500 mark, should be great! but play with it to taste

I don't believe so. This is a tincture to be mixed with other tinctures, not to be diluted as tea!

I haven't bought the burner yet since I'm waiting for someone else to confirm how much you can boil with it! I have my first extract kit waiting on the shelf for the new year. An acquaintance is going to come over and walk me through the process. I expect we'll do the same thing you are start with a half-portion and dilute it.I make hard cider, so the only high-cost item I had to buy was a wort cooler. Please let me know how the burner performs! I'd like to be able to do some of the work out of the kitchen...Al

My understanding is that when you burn oils you just need something that will wick -- it doesn't take much. I've heard of folks pulling strings out of new mop-heads and using those for example. I lately read about a guy who used various food oils (eg olive), drew a string of some sort through a wine cork, and separated the cork from the lit end of the string with some aluminum foil. I don't have experience doing this myself, but from what I've read it sounds that it should work.
