I'm making my very first tincture now too and I wanted to revive this fun thread.
So I'm thinking of doing it like this, putting a bowl of everclear on top of a saucepan on the stove. Mix in the finely crushed mushroom while bringing the alcohol to a slow boil.
Good, bad, ugly? Perhaps I should soak it first, then apply heat? I need the tincture to be ready for travel by Thurs morning. It's now Monday evening.
PS: My dad can beat up your dad.
PPS: I cooked up fresh cubes in a wok over a gas burner at temps that surely exceeded 212 by a good bit. I was blown away at the potency. It was unexpectedly good for some big ole amazons and unexpectedly tasty too btw and easier to digest.

people here think I don't know shit, but the people who have tried it know that I make it work really good I'd just go straight with the heat on. Once I put 5 grams of ovoids in 5 shots of everclear and left it sit for a week. All 5 shots didn't even get me high. It's the heat that does it IMO

I doubt you will ever get it to boil It just evaporates faster. I put a meat thermometer in the water and shoot for 150f. I try not to get it past 160f, just because I'm scared to ruin it. I triple extract it. I have some in the fridge right now thats 3 grams of pins/aborts per shot. I tried some of the last batch, it was 2 grams per shot and it blew my face off my tv looked like a lava lamp. I watched the clock and started tripping in 13 minutes flat

It sure does evap fast. I kept turning the burner down until it's on the lowest setting now and I've already gone thru quite a bit of everclear. The solution looks pretty murky, lookin good to me so far.

And loads of useful info.
I poured my bowl o everclear and mush thru a pasta strainer into a coffee filter. Put the mush back into the bowl and added more everclear for a second extraction.
Not even gonna need a fan, gonna use the stovetop to evap it off.
This is easier than I imagined it for some reason.

Just be sure to be DAMN CAREFUL with evaporating alcohol.
When you get almost done, add enough fresh alc to bring it back to 1 mL per 1 gram you put in for easy dosing.

If you're concerned about losing too much alcohol, it's not hard to make one of those makeshift reflux condenser type things with the inverted pan and ice.. If you're interested let me know and I can elaborate.

Don't bother trying to condense it this time, alcohol is fairly cheap. Next time maybe plan for solvent recovery.

yeah def will be interested for future ref.
I don't understand why i'm being so careful. careful of what? not letting the vapors explode? I got no open flames and the burner is on it's lowest setting and it's in a bowl suspended in a pot of water.
Now i've got about a cup of alcohol containing an ounce's worth of extract. I don't understand what you mean by bringing it back up. Why? I was gonna evap this off to about a shotglass worth.

Yes you do. And then there's pilot lights.
As for re-adjusting the volume, I didn't read the whole thread. If you have a dose in a shot, that's fine.

I'm anti natural gas. I go all electric. I wasn't sure that's what you were warning me about.
I was gonna evap the whole thing, an ounce of dry amazon down to a shot.
You think that's too strong to dose accurately? I was thinking it could be metered out with an eye dropper.

Oh, that's right about right. 28g in, about 28 mL out. Dose with a syringe- 1 mL = one trip level.
No pilot lights? No bic lighters? No static sparks? No fans with brushes in motors? Alcohol is dangerous stuff.
Post a pic of your fire extinguisher with a sign to prove it's real. Right now. Yes, I've been drinking, but still do it.

Hehe I won't, but I appreciate your attitude. I do have a fire extinguisher. I don't have pilot lights as I don't have gas service at all. There is an electric fan two rooms away that I'm not too concerned about. I'm smoking weed in an adjacent room 30 feet from the stove, but I'll stop immediately on your concerns.

Sweet so can you elaborate on your technique in detail? I've read this thread but it got hectic and many disagreements. Seems like you and Doc got an agreement.

I'll step in to say this... Not really here to discuss if it works or not... Ive done my research..
With a 1/5th of everclear, we soaked for a few hours and filtered/double boiled the 1/5th down to a "airplane bottle's" worth... The is still there, in very measurable dosages, just like mentioned above by doc so much per ml is how we did ours... 
Now i'd have to get my everclear out of state, as they only sell that watered down shit here now...

30 ft is ok if there's a window or door open in between. I'd still go outside.
Edit- the whole process is far safer with lab glass, you can extract and then reclaim without much danger.
