I have an infusium and have made tincture a few times. I made a batch yesterday of shake from my hand crank trimmer. (In the past Ive ground up buds.) Yesterdays tincture isn't quite as potent as I prefer probably a combo of using shake and instead of using 4 cups everclear, i used 3 with 1 cup of blueberry vodka.
I'd like to know if there are any issues with making another batch with a bit more flower (same bud w 151 everclear)) then mixing the two before bottling?
Along the same lines if i make a batch that is too potent is there any issue to cut it with flavored vodka?
Also, anyone have or used an infusium and if so can you make anything with that chud thats leftover?
Actually its starting to creep up on me but still curious to know!

If not strong enough can always evaporate down a little more just keep a eye on it. I do all my tincture with 190 proof 151 is a last resort but if works for ya. 151 doesn't work as well but some places don't carry stronger. Mixing is fine also

I didn think about evaporation so thanks for that tip.
I have to apply for a permit to buy 190 proof in my location and I don't like to give big brother any info! Even 151 proof is only sold at certain locations but it can be ordered on the ABC site and shipped to an ABC store closer to me. The batch actually turned out well...it always seem to take an hour or so to kick in and i was over anxious evaluate it!

Same about 45 min to hour, what a joke making you go thru hoops to get 190.
