Howzit bra, yoh you can grow ne? Grow goals for me, but I see baking there, and that's my jam. Edibles all day over here! Welcome

Awe bud, enjoy it and stay lekker.

Thanks for the warm welcome folks. I'm in JHB Bakstein420 yourself?

Totally missed this when I signed on recently but, Awe community, otherwise are you well? 

Just a stoner who cooks and bakes. Novice outdoor grower, long time cannabutter maker. former(occassionally current) professional cook/caterer. daily smoker. really getting into dabs. still learning and kak passionate about bud and the good it can do. I am studying the grow guides with intensity and will have many questions.

Yoh thanks alot guys this is great info, africansmoke.co.za you say?

Thank you all for the info you're sharing here folks, appreciated. Ya that East City Rosin info makes me wish I was back in Cpt but maybe before long we'll see a JHB entrepreneur doing this. 

Aeradix. what can i expect re your Gauteng delivery turnaround times?

You need to decarb the bho / rosin before it can be used as an edible. It is like using a more concentrated form of oil / butter when cooking.

 

A quick google search and I found these guys, never ordered from them before though.

Food grade ethanol is not cheap, I looked into it a few months back and was put off by the price and considering it is a consumable as well.

I wanted to use it to clean BHO and help purge the butane, hoping the Ethanol would be easier to purge.

Huh, thanks I will have to think about whether I'm willing to risk any of my dab on trying this out. Thanks I saw a link to ethanolsa earlier in the thread and was checking them out but was similarly given pause by the price of food grade ethanol.

On the BHO, thats the thing that makes me most wary. A bit bang I fuck around in a cloud of butane and blow my shit up.

Ok thank you for the advice. I understand where you're coming from. The reason I'm interested in tinctures is cos I really dig experimentation with edibles. At this point I can put cannabutter any place you can put a fat in food and make it taste nice and get you lit, but some things don't necessarily have the space for the fat, hence wanting to try the alcohol based tincture. Sure I can put cannabutter in a cap, but I'd rather have it in biscuit or a caramel or on a slice of toast. 
 
Whats BHO/dabs like to use as an ingredient? Is that something people do

Buy some Royal Vodka, its 96% alcohol. We use that to make tincture. There are many recipes on the net but they use Everclear, you can follow the same steps.

Yas, Thanks man, I didn't know Royal was such a high percentage. All the vodka's I checked were like 50-70%.

Howzit, so I am looking to move past just burning my weed. Like not to never burn again but smoking is at heart bad for you. I make cannabutter and don't feel ready to move on up to making my own BHO so I was hoping to try out the tincture thing. I cant find much on it on any of the forums here and I've watched the youtube vids but are tinctures not a thing anymore? The only challenge I was having was finding the food grade ethanol cos vodka and witblitz didnt work too well.
