Bacardi 151 tincture

G

Guest

I use stoner/eyeball measurements mainly with my cooking, as any good cook should be able to do after some experience. So with that being said please bear with me, and if you have improvements please jump in.

I will walk through two different recipes in each step, there is my XXX suicide mix or the rational person mix. Your pick.

***WARNING***

Before going any further with the process understand that 151 bacardi is flamable and this recipe does call for the heating of the liquid/cannabis mix. ONLY use heat sources that DO NOT USE OPEN FLAME. Please take caution when doing this and if at all possible do it outside or near a very well ventilated window, door or both. Hot plates work great

1) Have a few one quart mason jars on hand. If you are a true stoner and dont have some mason jars, kick yourself in the ass and go walk your sorry butt to any grocery/harware store/ crafts store and buy a pack of 12 for like ten bucks. its worth it.

XXX-I used one half-gallon mason jar

2) Have one to two 750mL bottles of 151 on hand

XXX-you will need two bottles to fill the half gallon jars just right

3) Prepare your product: for a one Quart mason jar sized batch use any of this measurement:
-1/8 to 1/4 of ounce of A+ Bud finely ground bud flowers
-one ounce of A+ trim, "sugar leaves"
-one ounce to two ounces of secondary trim/small buds/some
leaves/stems etc mixed together
XXX- I used two and half ounces of A+ ground bud flowers for the half-gallon mix

4) Fill all the product in the jar and pour 151 until 1.5-2 inches from the top

XXX- I only put two ounces in at this point the other half ounce I put in during a second cooking cycle. Fill to the top with 151

5) Set up heating apperatus, outside if possible, please see warning above about heating*. Use some kind of 'double' boiler, or just make sure the jar isn't resting on the bottom of the pan. I set them on two wooden spoons and boiled. The idea is to get the contents of the mason jar to boil, which will , take some time and please monitor, if you want to be super safe a fire retardant close by. Don't let the temp of the mason jar get over 100Celcius. let the mason jar come to a boil for 5-30 minutes, then bring temp to low for another half hour, then kill the heat and let stand in water and cool to room temp. place, do not screw, the lid on top, once heat is OFF. Once at room temp place in fridge to cool complete so everything sets for a bit. You can let is sit and get more and more potent or cook it again and add more product. If you want you can just filter it right now and consume.

XXX- I let my batch sit over night and shake it up every now and then before I cooked it. After I did my first cooking as stated above, I let it cool , then added the other half ounce. I let that sit over night, while shaking then cooked it again the next day. then let that sit again for a few days while shaking periodiclly and heat again, cool, chill and serve or just serve it before cooking again.

6) after you have let everything cool and let it sit long enough for your preference, then you can filter it. Use a PASTRY CLOTH not a CHEESE CLOTH, easy to mix up bc many cannabis recipes ask for cheese cloth.

7) Once it is filtered it should be 100% free of all product and the original color of 151.

8) SERVE VERY SMALL DOCES UNTIL YOU KNOW ITS STRENGTH, AND PLEASE DONT DRIVE BC IT STILLS HAS BOOZE AND IT WILL BE EVEN STRONGER THEN 151 BC SOME OF THE WATER IN THE 151 GOT COOKED OFF DURING COOKING. PLEASE BE SAFE.

I hope all this makes sense, if any one has questions, tips, improvements etc please post. thanks dj highst

is the boiling point of alchohol higher or lower than water? i tried this in one of those electric wok type things with a plug in heating element and it heated up for over 30 min and still would not boil. its been strained and sitting for about a week now, should i try and reboil it or should it be good as is?

sorry for not replying right away, I didn't see your post. Yes its its a little harder to bring the the alcohol to a boil, but if you dont get the tincture all the way to the boiling point it OK, as long as you can get it as hot as you can it will help to activate some of the THC.

I hope you are heating it outside if you are using 151 or anything stronger.

I just bought a (40 cup) coffer urn, that I am going to start using for large batches of tinture. It heats the water (alcohol) and mixes it with the cannabis and it even filters with coffee filters. You could just let it cool and just serve right out of the coffee urn. Pretty damn cool it it works and I really hope it does. Good luck with your tincture. give us some more updates. peace dj.highst

ya you could boil it again if you want. If you want to make it really strong add some more cannabis after you filtered out the first batch, then add some more fresh cannabis then reheat. If you want to help it bring to a boil try to cover the crock pot, but dont restrict the air on top of the tincture bc the 151 is flamable and you dont want it under pressure. If you can cover the pot without covering the jar, thats the way to go, but you might have to be creative with this.

1/2 oz of good kush in a bottle of patron let it sit in the dark for a month and have fun

boil the tincture before you let it sit for a month and have twice as much fun.

I have over forty books on Growing, Cooking, Making hash, Marijuana Chemistry, and "Gallery Books" I have no need to steal info from people on this page. I should have given credit to these sources in my recipe, but I just forgot. Thanks for noticing the similarites, but my ratios are way different and I think neither one of us came up with it, so I think neither of us get credit for shit. We just copied other peoples good ideas and posted it here, so neither one of our heroes.

Fair enough...
I unfortuantely have not had the priviledge of reading any of those books, been making this stuff for years now though (just good old fashion trial & error!)

Anyhow the only reason I posted my recipe in the first place was simply to document it, as no one Ive ever shown it to had ever heard of anything like it... so I figured Id share it!

So I am not taking credit for the concept of the tincture, far from it. I just noticed a few similarities in instruction & methods used. Not a big deal though. I am actually delighted that more & more people are becoming aware and intested in tinctures (as that was the motivation behind my original post)

No hard feelings (theres enough tincture for everyone!!)

No worries...

...and yes there is enough tinture for everyone... I am brewing a giant batch right now that is super strong tincture. 5 bottles of 750 ml 151 with a little over 1/4 lbs of some A- & B grade buds. I am taking it to Tahoe on the first real dump of fresh snow. I also have about 100 cookies, olive oil and canna-butter. Cant wait to got snowboarding. If there are any boarders on the site, lets go ride! I need to get out of town and clear the head.

I will also try to do a write-up of my "Coffee Urn Tincture" recipe that I am working on. Anyone ever heard of someone trying this? Would love to hear some other peoples experiences. peace dj.highst

well i reboiled it again, still didnt boil, im afraid of burning up the house... it did get really hot and the water around it was boiling quite rapidly.... im going to let it sit for a week and try it out. ... should be some good stuff. btw.. that coffer urn tincture sounds very interesting.

If the water around it is boiling rapidly and the pot the tincture is in, is too hot to touch even for just a split second then you are doing enough to activate the tincture. peace highst

good thats what i did... can i drink it now? i dont know that i care about it settling out... and its been sitting previously for about a week and a half.

you could drink it now, but it would really help to let it sit longer, at least another week. Do this if you are desperate to try some: keep the mixture in the jar and let it sit over night without shaking it. The next morning the plant material will settle to the bottom. Take a turkey baster and skim some off the top and keep the mixture they way it is. This lets taste it and also gives you an idea of how strong it is and it will give the remaining mixture a higher ratio of plant matter to 151 and it should make the remaining mixture stonger. If you dont think it strong enough add more material and let sit longer or if it gets to a point that you are happy with strain it out and enjoy. Dont get too excited and strain ALL of it right now and find out you were hoping it was stronger and then be bummed that you didnt get the most out of that batch of material. good luck and have fun. peace dj.highst

Neptune

OR make Green Dragon

1) pour shotglass of 151,
2) add frosty ass A grade bud. (loosely ground, or not ground at all. lightly broken is best.)
3) Cover shotglass with palm of hand, Shake vigerously for 30-60 seconds.
4) remove bud
5) consume green 151
....wait...
6) get twisted.

so my tincture is about 3 weeks old at this point.. i poured myself and a friend a shot the other day... man... taste is quite strong... stronger than i expected... for me the results were good but not quite as intense as i expected... it might be cause i weight about 250 lbs, my friend who weighs quite a bit less.. about 150 or so... was obliterated... though i was very sceptical at first... this is definitly a must try for everyone, at least once... eventually i will get up the courage to try and keep a second shot down. try it and you wont be sorry.

ps what do i do with the funky plant matter at the bottom.. theres still gonna be liquid there, or is that just a sacrafice?

how does it sitting make it stronger? everything that will be in it is in it after the plant material is removed.
pure alcohol boils at a lower temp than water. water and alcohol mixed to gether boils higher than water or alcohol alone.

i wonder how vodka would work being it has no taste, smell or color to start with...or is the higher alcohol content needed to suspend/absorb the cannabinoids?

here is a pic of my set-up. Sorry for the lag couldnt find the pic



editor's note: I will definately start using pure aquave tequillia or vodka, either way clear ones only. The 151 is cool for me (my tolerance is a little high, but other people just were over-powered). I think using the clear liquids help to tell how much plant matter got leaked out during the soak. I dont think the long soak is nesseccary any more. I have only been doing this bc I was told by my old hippie friends this and I read it in the books I have, but I think this is any out-dated technique. I think this was only done with lower quality cannabis and it needed the longer soak to make it effective. This takes out too much plant matter, making it bit harsher to drink. As long as a high ratio of A+ cannabis to fluid is mixed then it will be plenty strong and wont need the longer soak. Highst

good info in this thread, thanks yall.
figured Id add a lil somethin for a safety tip, Ima try rubber-banding a couple layers of paper towel over the jar while I waterbath it, so the evaporated alcohol doesnt rush out and onto my flame. peace!
