Help with my reishi tincture
    #23878119 - 11/29/16 12:16 PM (7 years, 3 months ago)

Hello o/

I'm trying to make some reishi mushroom tincture for the first time.
I am very bad in maths and not super good in english (secondary language) and I require some help in regard with the ratio of alcohol.

I am planning on using a double extraction method (tincture + decoction).

I bought 2 types of alcohol:
Vodka with 40% alcohol/volume (so 80 proof alcohol).
And I bought 94% alcohol (188 proof).
This is the strongest I could find here in Quebec, Canada.

I want to mix both of those alcohols to get a 60% alcohol/vol mix (120 proof).
What is the math to get the perfect ratio?

I was thinking on using a 60% alcohol/vol so that I can put less alcohol in my tincture and more water (I want a final product with 30% alc/vol).
But once I have my 60% alc/vol mix, I'll be find to water it down to 30% :smile:.

How much 60% do you want to make? Half 80 proof and half 188 proof is 67% alcohol. If you give me batch size I can tell you exact amount. Maybe 67% is close enough and simple to mix?

Yes I guess I could go with 67% too.

For the amount, we can say 2 liters (0,53 US gallon).

Then 1 liter of each is 67% alcohol
