Acacia DMT smell??

[SpiritWalker]

When brewing Acacia do you get a distinct DMT smell? I have with Mimosa but not with the Acacia that I have now so I'm trying to figure out if this is bad bark or not.

THanks!

Definitely have once I start pulling, and mine wasn't very high yield either.

Oh yeah, definitely. Sometimes when basing, I'll get a whiff, but most often when pulling above the naps smell. The more saturated, the more smelly.

I don't know if lack of smell is indicative of bad bark, continue the extraction and let us know how it goes..

When i've brewed ACRB, there's always been that distinct indole smell, but definitely not as noticeable as MHRB.

With mhrb it is d effinately there. Not always, but generally the bark I get the smell from tends to be high yielding.

It`s been quite a while since I have brewed acacia, but I do recall faintly smelling spice in a few of my brews.
Also when blending some larger, hard chunks of acacia I hadn`t fully broken down, I sometimes smell burnt spice on opening the blender.

Thank you for the replies . It was bunk bark. I got some Taiwanese Acacia and the experience was proper as it should be. First time in 6 years so I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later.

You can always burn a peice of bark, if it's quality acacia, it will smell just like dmt.

I also get that smell

I was amazed at the DMT pong when I was last brewing Acacia confusa! Was potent as well, it started to get immersive at 5g.

The only time I've done an ACRB extraction was using A/B with white vinegar so the principal smell was definitely vinegar during the initial brewing. As soon as I basified with lye the characteristic dmt smell came through.

Out of interest overall yield was a disappointing 0.2% compared to my standard MHRB extractions which have been between 0.9 and 1.6%

Final product had reddish tinge rather than yellow.
