How does this tincture recipe look?

I've been doing a bit of research and am planning to try the below:

1. Add 14g of decarbed flower to 330ML (11.15fl oz) of 89.9% alcohol [~180 proof] Absinthe (I can't get everclear or anything unflavored which is this strong).
2. Freeze for 7d, taking out to gently shake once per day
3. Strain with coffee filters & add to dropper bottles.

Curious:

- Is my ratio of fluid to flower appropriate? I'm wanting to maximize potency.
- Is 7d in the freezer likely to yield the best results or is it ideal to do for longer?
- How often do you take out of the freezer to shake?
- Is it useful to let it evaporate at the end to increase potency?

I don't want to use heat to reduce the mix.

It shouldn't take 7 days with 90 proof. I would freeze the material and Absinthe to at least -18C/0F and try about a 3 to 5 minute extraction and check for intact trichomes.

Thanks - yes I am intending to try freezing all components first to help with the process. I think I'll still do it for a week or so to maximise potency (as I can't find any conclusive info suggesting whether or not it's necessary in either direction but want FULL strength and don't mind waiting even if it may be redundant). My biggest point of interest is whether the amount of alcohol is sufficient.

The ratio I use is 15gram/8oz.ETOH, then reduce to 4 oz. after extraction. But I'm using Everclear. There is a tincture guru on grasscity, PsychedelicSam,
who has written extensively on extracting with lesser proof etoh in his "another tincture thread". Bye the bye, I double bag in rosin bags to filter and drip dry. Just what works for me.

Thanks - I'll probably try use a similar ratio but I'm not so sure about reducing (rather try without & avoid the fire risk).
