Yes, you want to brew and reduce at a high simmer. A long boil seems to caramelize the caapi, making it more difficult to keep down.nexalizer said:*It is impossible to say how much water is necessary for a brew. Bring the water to a boil, and then reduce heat to keep the water just above the threshold of boiling.
Shouldn't it be "below" ?
...
Regarding reducing, how is it done, boiling or simmering?

Unfortunately I'm not finding the information as clear and immediately helpful as everyone else. The most confusing part for me is how much water to start with and how to adequately measure the amount of water when reducing. I'll number my questions so it's easier for somebody to respond if he/she feels inclined to do so:
1) Can I basically use anywhere from one cup of water to a gallon and it won't make any difference in the end so long as I properly reduce my brew?
2) How am I supposed to know when my brew has been sufficiently reduced?
3) What does "light" mean in the context of "vine first, light ~20 minutes later"?
4) What would happen if I poured some extra Aya into a mason jar and put it in the refrigerator for a week or so without "sterilizing" or "pasteurizing" it?
5) Is it ever advisable to consume a brew consisting of BOTH Syrian rue and Banisteriopsis caapi? Why or why not?
The Ayahuasca brewing process seems to be a bit more loose than the DMT extraction TEKs I've studied and performed over the past year, and that makes me slightly anxious. I'm confident I can brew Aya just fine but I want to ensure all of my queries are answered beforehand to avoid anxieties cropping up during pre-flight or even mid-journey. I'm very scientifically inclined and feel somewhat lost without step-by-step instructions coinciding exact measurements and specifics relating to every last detail. Sorry if I'm coming off as a pain in the ass; I just want to ensure I have the most positive experience possible!
Thanks again to everyone for your insight and input thus far. I'm definitely a lot closer to feeling comfortable brewing Aya than I've ever been!
ganesha said:Hi. I agree with you Lion<dragon,is always good make the right things to obtain the right experience, and is also tru what entheogenadvocate says.....much respect is advise in the brewing/extraction/use of this sacred molecule.
Im haven´t to much experience with the caapi brews. Lately I find some shedred caapi vine. Yesterdeay I took 5 gr and soak it in hot water with a PH of 3 (obtained by phosphoric acid). I keep the tea all night soaking ....My question is.....It is possible and safe to smoalk freebase DMT on top of the tea?.....
I thank you from know....king regards
ganesha said:I thank you very much,dreamer...do you think it is my personal receipe,the one that I post above, right ?I mean,do you think is gona work?? Could you give me some help in finding a tread about making a Caapi tea?
Anyway I will try the one I already brew,I think tomorrow night will be perfect! I have in mind to vape about 30mg of Spice over the tea.
LionDragon said:So I started my brew and so far everything is going wonderfully, at least with the B. caapi.
The MHRB brew on the other hand seems to be unable to separate the powdered bark from the water, so if I pour it through a shirt I'm afraid all the MHRB powder will come along with it and get stuck to the shirt, leaving me with nothing left to boil for the 2nd and 3rd rounds. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Any advice?
