Adding Tincture To Wine

[Doctor Trevor]

Today, I added a tincture to a batch of wine (mead, actually) and it created an unusual cloud (see photos). This happened the first time I made such a mead.

After mixing everything up last time, I let it sit for a week before running it through a plate filter. I used coarse filter pads in fear of catching too much THC in them.

Has anyone done similar? How tight of a filter pad can I use? The best ones I have are .5 microns.

I am a winemaker and have thought of doing that myself. What did you end up doing and how did it turn out?

 

[Doctor Trevor]

I stirred the batch after a few days. It's still in the carboy.

Last time I did this, I had to run the finished product TWICE through a plate filter.

I don't usually filter my wine. I do have a wine filter but have never used it. How does the wind turn out is there a noticeable effect from being infused?

 

[Doctor Trevor]

It hits you pretty fast. The THC and the alcohol make a nice combination one-two punch. Keep in mind, the first time I did this, the weed was in eleven ounces of 151, so that raised the abv quite a bit. This time, I reduced it down to about three ounces.

So it's more like a fortified with the THC CBD added as well.

 

[Doctor Trevor]

The first batch was probably 18 or 19%. The current one is probably 13 or 14%.

I might have to give it a try.

I added tincture to a mead for the third time. Only this time, I filmed it...

only to learn I can't upload it.
