Common Name                                                                                                                           
Part Used                                                                              Date                                               
Weight of dried herb                                                      ounces [                              grams]
Recommended strength 1:1 (weight to volume), therefore: Finished volume is               (oz/ml)

1.  Menstruum #1 proportions:  ____% alcohol,  ____% water,  ____% glycerin
          1a (Generally add 15-20% more alcohol for 1st menstruum than recommended tincture %)
2.  Volume taken up by ground, compressed herb is approx.: ____oz.[               ml ]
          2a  First percolation should be 75%  of finished volume
3.  Intended final volume of first percolate is to be:  ______oz. [               ml ]
4.  First menstruum needed is calculated by adding #2   ____oz.[              ml ]  AND 
        #3  ____oz.[             ml ], resulting in ____oz.[             ml ]  
This is the total volume of starting menstruum you need to mix together for first percolation.
5. ____oz (ml)  (total menstruum) X  ___%   alc. = _____ oz (ml)  alcohol
    ____oz (ml)  (total menstruum) X  ___% H20 = _____ oz (ml) water
    ____oz (ml)  (total menstruum) X  ___% glyc.= _____ oz (ml) glycerin
             IT SHOULD ALL TOTAL 100% of NEEDED  FIRST MENSTRUUM

••TO MOISTEN HERB, start with  2/3 of #2, or ______oz (ml) of menstruum.
••Set aside in closed container for at least twelve hours (24 is better)
••Pack in cone, with filter paper below, filter paper above
••Pour menstruum on packed herb, make sure menstruum descends herb column evenly, drip out the bottom (controlling speed with the screw cap if necessary) at a rate of one or two drips a second.  (Two drips a second is “Star’s and Stripes Forever” march tempo)
••Catch first drip in first of two empty measuring beakers.
Remove first beaker when #3 volume is reached.  If the layer of menstruum is in danger of sinking below the top of the herb column, add some water (if the botanical is woody or leafy) or a pint or two of 50%  /water if the botanical is a dense, starchy root or high in resins)
••Catch the rest of the second percolation in the second, beaker, setting the first drip aside and.covered 
••If you didn’t add additional menstruum, do so now.  Menstruum #2 is variable, both in valume AND alcohol percentage.  Generally, add at least as much second menstruum as 3X the finished volume.  For MOST herbs, 33% alcohol is enough.  For simple woody bitters, such as Mahonia, water alone is enough; for starchy roots or resinous botanicals you may need 50% alcohol.
••Finish dripping second percolate (pressing the marc is fine).
••Evaporate 2nd Percolation in a double boiler until 25% of finished volume, or                 oz/ml
••Add the 1st percolate (75% of final volume) to 2nd percolate (25% of final volume).
••Final volume is a 1:1 fluidextract.
••If your final volume is off by 15% to 473%, please describe what might have gone wrong on the
back side of this sheet, and whom you might be able to blame (excluding the Club of Rome)
