I’m making edibles and doing an ethanol 190 proof wash.
Normally, I decarb first, but wasn’t being mindful and completely forgot and started the wash.
I read somewhere that the tincture can decarb naturally without heat if left for 4 months. How true is this statement?
You’re gonna need to decarb with heat
You could also add mgo or magnesium oxide to your tincture as a decarb catalyst. @cyclopath ??
You can check out this site for some different instructions of how to decarb etc: Extraction by IchiBanCrafter – Ethanol/Alcohol Extraction. Crafting Concentrates For Medicine, Smoking and Edibles.
your tincture with decarb with time. it will also degrade over time.
I haven’t done any time courses to measure the effect, but there is definitely data around here suggesting that decarb in ethanol is accelerated when compared to crude resin.
I have tested tinctures made by folks that soak their biomass for months. last one had essentially ZERO THC left in it.
you might look into bromocresol green
