About to make tincture, questions and advice

Going to make tincture, any advice?
I am going to try making a tincture with a single gram and some everclear. If it turns out to my liking I'll make more.
I plan on letting the bud(s) freeze overnight then putting em in an oven so they can decarb. (what temperature and how long?) After that, I have a crock pot, but how much everclear should I use (1 oz?), what temperature should I keep the crock pot on, and how long should it stay on for?
Someone told me that some crock pot's Lowest setting is too high for weed so it's a good idea to keep it on Warm...
What should it look like when it's done if I can't tell by temperature?
Thanks all I'll let you know how it turns out
When it's done I have a small tincture eye dropper bottle I'm going to store it in

I'm talking from experience I did this several ways I never put them in the freezer. I soaked mine for a couple of days and used a portable burner to evaporate, if I did this again I would have a small squirrel cage fan hooked up to a dryer hose to suck away the alcohol vapor I tried it with a box fan the vapor shorted out the motor then floated back down and caused a big fire ball The slow cooker should work fine be safe ans suck those vapors away. I personal suggest doing it the safe slow (couple of days) way and letting the alcohol evaporate on its own. Measure your product write it down let the soak evaporate into a green gooey sticky resin. Then add a little alcohol at a time until you can dissolve all the resin without it sticking to the pan when you stir it around. Adjust as needed you will not be disappointed. I actually took the straight resin one time rolled it in some hightimes fake bud "crap" so it can be rolled up and burn easier people were trading me dollar bills and preferred this stuff whuich I nick named geee over premium bud.

I also some cookies with this stuff one time we stayed stoned for 4 hours The next morning when I woke up to go school I stopped and got a biscuit and ate it by the time I pulled into the parking I was stoned all over again I had to go back home driving 25 mph for 17 miles . The side effect was I basically slept for 18 hours after the second stone .

I just decarb and then put the ground buds in a saucepan with the alcohol, allowing it to simply simmer and never evaporate. let simmer a good 40 mins (which ensures total decarboxylation) if some THCA was left after the oven.
