Tincture tech

Hey all - made a couple tinctures and had a couple questions. Using 151 Rum and 1 oz decarbed, I used a double boiler and infused. Surprised at how little end product was created when done and filtered. Love to see some links on best practices and how to determine strength. I assume I may need to dilute - we will soon find out. Second batch Im doing is 151 with 1oz in jar for a couple weeks. What techniques are you doing?

respect,
pal

Wrong forum for tincture approaches? Finished my second batch of tincture, let the 151 sit for about 4-5 weeks in cool dark area shaking daily. With no heating, yielded more product, filtered through coffee filters twice again. Any experience out there on how to make best tinctures?

I suggest using a QWET extraction. Less greeeeeeeeeeen flavor and color.

It will work better if you can get 190 proof to reduce the amount of water solubles picked up. http://thealchemistresource.thealchemistresource.com/p/blog-page_24.html
