So I have about 5 grams of hash made from bubble bags and what i could dig and press out of my kief trap. I bought some food grade glycerin and was going to try to make my first tincture. I am going on a cruise in a month and would love to have a good strong mix to take under the tongue when I feel the need to medicate. So I am not sure I have the time to do a cold mix (the preferred method by my research). So what is the best method of heating it up? I'm thinking of trying this:

Heat hash up in a pre-heated oven set on 175-200 (lowest setting) for about 15

Put a duralex bowl in a crockpot for insulation and a ceramic bowl inside of it for the glycerin. Set crock pot to very low hopefully around 160F.

Not sure how much glycerin to use for 5g high quality hash. And really not sure how long to let it "cook". Any thoughts?

In heaven, about 15 grams, considering loses. On earth, probably closer to 20 grams.

You would get a better return with an ethanol tincture, that you could dropper into drinks.

So your saying 15 to 20 grams of glycerin for 5g of hash? If so that was what I was thinking.... a 3:1 to 4:1 ratio for max potency. That isn't alot as far as a final product.

I thought about doing an alcohol tincture...but is the effect different. From what I am reading alcohol extracts better has an effect more like eating. Where as glycerin doesn't extract as well (which shouldn't be a problem for me cuz I am using hash not bud) but has more of an phsyco-active effect (like smoking) because you can take it under the tongue.

Like i say I am a complete noob to all this so I could be way off base here...
