Thanks for the reply! No, the dude did not space out or throw himself out a window (kinda wish he did). He did come back around and hook me up though which is why i'm going to try this again.

I'm going to try a few variations in my methods this time around. I would like to ultimately get a product containing about 7 grams of plant material for every ounce of alcohol. I will achieve this by placing 28 grams of plant material into 14 ounces of grain alcohol and ultimately boiling down to 4 ounces of alcohol.
