Can you use gin as well if over 40° or it's not as good to do the extraction?

Brother, you are a genius, have you ever made oxytocin? I'm curious about this, how this is derived from the ergot fungus,

[@Neal-bg2uz]

Yes any alcohol over 40% ​@@MataH1

[@verballucidity]

Combining the two extracts doesn't really give you a set alcohol by volume like 30% ABV for preservation does it. Most tinctures have less then half anyhow because most people use a really high percentage alcohol anyhow right?

[@mjones410]

in my experience with Lion's Mane tinctures, if you boil the water extract you loose the sleeping benefit. If you're interested in using Lion's Mane for deep sleep and strong dreams I would recommend not letting the water go above 80 degrees C, and I leave it for 12 hours, so I use a rice cooker on warm or a slow cooker.

thank you so much for this video! may i ask, does the final tincture bottle have extra water? or is it only the water from the double extraction? can i put some extra water in this mix?

[@GroCycleTV]

We now make these commercially, and only use the liquid from the extraction process, which has already been reduced down by evaporation to up its strength... adding water bulks it out, but will weaken the strength... hope that helps!

[@ThePiggiestOne]

Hello! Great video. Thank you for sharing. I mean to ask, can this be used topically?

[@vidlover07]

Would it be better to make the tincture with 95% alcohol rather than 40% because when you combine the decotion with the 40% it would dilute the alcohol too much. Could bring the 95% down to 40% with the decotion instead.

[@Onerabidmonk1]

What is the shelf life with and without the alcohol extraction?

[@timothylongmore7325]

Many of the constituants can only be extracted with alcohol. You can "cook off" the alcohol or remove it with a distiller. They would have to be refridgerated afterward or frozen.

[@MataH1]

Great information, thanks.

[@davidsummerville351]

Very informative and to the point. Thanks

[@mycophil]

Thanks for the video! Simple and easy to follow. I have some questions though: - What is the mushroom to liquid ratio? - What is the shelf life? - I know the recommended time for plant tincturing is 4-6 weeks, but I have a book on mushrooms medicines by mycologist and herbalist Dr Christopher Hobbs, and he writes that 10-14 days is sufficient for an alcohol extraction. I guess the longer the better, but what do you think about his statement?

[@trinaharris3227]

How do you inoculate the logs

[@WiishkobiArtistry]

Will this work for trametes lactinea and has anyone done that before? Curious

[@mariog8854]

Is there anyway to see what doses we actually end up with?

[@patrickbaranovskis4473]

ATTENTION: It's recommended to combine the extracts in the OPPOSITE order shown in yall's video, in order to preserve the polysaccharides. From Herbal Academy: "Allow the decoction to cool completely, then slowly pour the tincture into the decoction while whisking steadily. (It’s important to do it in that order, rather than pouring decoction into the tincture, since you want to minimize the exposure of polysaccharides to undiluted alcohol.)"

[@Wesz808]

@90 Second Mycology exactly. Also what I find weird is that the literature states that a tincture should have 25% alcohol. The alcohol part contains 40% max. The other part 0% since both part are equal it only adds up to 20%. I do like the clarity of the rest of the video.

[@ND-di5uq]

Thanks for this! I was wondering if you can grow the medicinal mushrooms on coffee grounds the way you do your oyster mushrooms as well?

[@harryperfors2224]

[@AnnD2023]

What growth stage is best to harvest the mushroom for this?

[@kristinwebster2514]

Thank you so much for your video! It is so helpful! One question - what is the benefit of having the mushrooms soak in the alcohol for longer than two weeks? How do I decide how long to soak them? Thank you!

[@GroCycleTV]

It definitely won't harm them, and would ensure you've got out all of the bioactive compounds - if you have the time then yes, we would recommend that!

Is there a way to add a bit of flavour to dilute the taste of alcohol?

[@rccpromotions]

Whats the shelf life of the tinctures?

[@GroCycleTV]

Hi!! If you keep them unopened and in the dark, they're good for up to 2 years... once opened, they do last a while, but make sure again to keep them in the dark to avoid an UV degradation, and you'll probably have full potency for up to 6 months...

[@TheLegacy305]

Does it have to be vodka or can I use any other 40% hard alcohol like Gin ?

[@macfroggy7442]

Hi :) ... I'm half way through making a Birch Polypore tincture. Im now ready to strain the mushrooms & to add to the water to simmer... Is 2 hours the correct time to leaving them simmering? & also is is OK to simmer them in a Stainless steel pan or best to not use metal at all & stick to Pyrex?? Many Thanks Héloïse

[@haleyalbee269]

In your experience, is it better to use fresh or dried mushrooms?

[@danny7176]

Do the mushrooms have to be dehydrated first? Or can you use fresh?

[@zinagypsy2848]

How long is too long to leave the mushrooms extracting in the alcohol?

[@lisaget2508]

My dual extraction was the consistency of gel the next day after combining the water and alcohol solutions? I did really reduce the water and birch poly pores. Is it okay? I soaked the birch poly pores in 100 proof vodka for two months before straining the mushroom for the water soluble reduction. I also blended some freshly dried poly pores and added them to the mushrooms I had soaked in the alcohol for the 2 months. I strained through cheese cloth after reducing water solution on the stove and then combined with the alcohol the mushrooms soaked in.

[@kathialopez7557]

Hi there! I loved your video and would like to ask you some questions if I may.. I don't drink alcohol but would like to have the mushroom's beneficial properties exactred by the alcohol processing... So, my question is: Can I put the alcohol processed tinture to a low simmer so the alcohol would evaporate? And if so, would this "alcohol free" tinture be good for a couple of years or would it spoil quickly as a simple decoction would? Thank you! Ana

[@lilolmecj]

I can’t answer your question, but normally an alcohol tincture, you will only use a few drops to maybe 5ml, so it is quite insignificant. Leaving it in alcohol will keep it shelf stable, and avoid mold.

[@DS-nv8bi]

i have many tinctures made from plants and i take teaspoons at a time and the vodka is nasty! i either add very warm water to the amount i want to take in a small glass bowl and the vodka evaporates out in an hour or i just skip the water and let the dose sit in an open bowl overnight so the tincture lasts in the original bottle for almost ever.

How long would this tincture last in storage? Does it need to be refrigerated? Thank you for making this video!

[@blenderbenderguy]

I've read about or watched a ton of tincture tutorials and most will say that if you end up with a 20-40% alcohol content that will be sufficient for years of preservation. Refrigeration of course can never hurt and would likely extend that, I tend to err on the high side and refrigerate just to insure preserving the goodies I've extracted. You'd need a PROOF & TRALLE HYDROMETER & measuring flask to determine the finished alcohol content. Very inexpensive and easy to find online or in home brewing shops.

[@velvetpaws999]

I have a fridge dedicated to my home made brews, jams and pickles. All of the above benefit from perfect preservation that way, as opposed to just room temperature. That being said, a dark and cool storage space will keep it quite well, too. Just not a warm room! And bottles of tincture must be dark glass, brown is best!

[@cameronpresley5771]

@@blenderbenderguy you wont get an accurate reading after making the The triterpenes will affect the gravity read. Maybe I will experiment to see the difference it makes. Personally, I use a high proof alcohol (170-180) and dilute it with distilled water when finished. I dont focus on the exact proof but try to keep it around 80 proof for preservation. The good news is we are making our own medicine and big pharma hates it😊

[@abigailmperez-tq7st]

Please let me understand if it is better to simmer reishi slowly to maximim 70° Celsius or to 100°C...there are in my opinion some non clear and defined studies regarding if there is some compounds that could benefit or not from a higher temperature for the water extract...or if the lower temperature is not able to extract...im a bit confused...in Italy i have access to 190 proof alcohol 96 percent...but really do not know for how long to soak Reishi in it(reishi are from our oak woods and grown there naturally, the spieces is Ganoderma Lucidum)
