Ayahuasca brewing newbie

[kaban uuc]

hello community.

I'm very new at brewing Ayahuasca. I'm hoping you to please point and explain me a little bit more besides of what I've found at other threads. I've gotten 50grs of caapi and 50 grs of chali both powdered. What amounts do you advice me to prepare for a single dosis? I've read that 50 grs of caapi and 7 grs of chali. I understand how the THP works and that its for the caapi but I'm missing what to do after the extraction. It says: "The brew was reduced by steaming" does it mean boiling it? and until what point?. At this point I get a little bit lost because I've seen in other thread that the result of the brew is a small powder extraction but could not see how it was obtained. Also I'm not sure if I understand this "3 x 30minute boils for the chaliponga". And how could I mix both extractions to have a resulting drink?. I'm sorry for asking so much., if there is already a thread with the answers please let me know.

I'm sorry if there are typos.

Thanks a lot!!

Hi.

Thanks a lot to those who have answered, mainly to spyfish: you're being so kind at us, God bless you.

Babaganush questions and their answers have helped me a lot for a better understanding of the process.

I'm during the first Caapi wash, about to finish. I got two questions. During the wash the water gets reduced and I've been adding more water: should this new water to be hot/boiling too? as I've been using normal temp water and it drops down the temp of the wash for a moment while it gains temperature and starts boiling again. If so, should I add something like extra boiling hour to this wash?

Second question: is does it matter when I add the new water to the boiling brew in the pot? I've been adding when it goes down to the half.

It helps if the water you add is hot. If not, just calculate more time for the wash EG active boiling time.

I add when 1/3 is evaporated.

How did it go?

It was alright. Learned a lot of this first brew. Like that for the next ones I should reduce it more until just one shot (it was like half glass for both brews/ per dosis, so maybe too much to drink...). They told me that drinking the caapi was much harder than the chali, which may have sense due the amount of grams. They both threw up. My sis just after taking the 2nd chali and her friend when I was practicing a cleaning with white salvia (burning leaf) to her... (also she had eaten a lil bit of papaya). They both reported moderate effects visual and physical. The friend of my sis was pretty connected. She laid over a rock and kept moving her hands, then she was just there, with her face covered from the sun. They told me that the visuals/effect was sometimes weak or easly to lose... my sis told me that she had to focus and to cover her eyes to "see" things.

I thought it would be much stronger. I'm hesitating if due to the material being old date (some months ago) it had lost strenght.

We still have the Sirian Rue and 30g of Chali left.

Thanks a lot for the help/care spyfish, great karma.

Hopefully God' through it flows to grow magic mushrooms which I could safely take.

NOTE. During the ceremony, they both did an intention speech and I served as medium for light/loving beings that were telling me how to help them. I recieved several messages and passed them to them, which was pretty cool because I did not drank Aya, was only with Ganjah and a drink of ron.

Also, want to mention that this Aya I felt was really powerful from the beginning, because I strongly felt that needed to clean the stove. I tried it really hard (I dissambled it) and misteriosly lost a piece, a spring. I tried looking for a replacement and ended up buying a new stove. Then when I was installing it I saw the "lost" spring in the floor... But I had checked that spot many times before. So my theory is that the Aya hided it from me and told me many things (I don't know how to explain this is like having feelings of understanding) to have a very clean space to make the brew.

The old stove had cleaning issues because there were a few isolated cases of countryside mouses in the past, but they got dirty the inside of the stove. So I tried cleaning very very hard, but some parts like junctions, were hard to reach (inside). I believe the Aya knew this and did not let me to use this stove.

Thanks for sharing

Sounds like it was a mild experience. Providing the same brewing method you can probably go up a bit in dose if going again.

Hi I'm back with my results, Sorry I took so long I've been really busy.

Here's my report, And recipe I used.

500 gram Caapi. 3x3hour washes, Used apprrox 7.75 litres of water for each wash and also 8 tablespoons of white vinegar for each wash.

Took 1 full hour to bring to boil, didn't keep track of reduction time reduced to 500 ml, Total time 13 hours.


Filtered through collander cheesecloth and later t- shirt.




50 gram Chaliponga 3x30 minute washes used approx 1.8l water for each wash.



Before the brew I burned sage and palo santo in the kitchen and said prayers.




Brewed Monday May 13th taken the following day.

Took 2 shot glasses of Caapi waited a few minutes took half glass of chali.

at 50 minutes nothing happend so I drank 2.5 shot glasses of whipping cream and 1 shot glass of half and half.


Followed later by 3/4 cup chali then later by 4 hard boiled eggs and 1 boiled turnip. later I took another shot of Chali and later still another shot of Caapi

that's when things really kicked in.


I layed on the floor for a while and started having closed eye visuals while listening to icaros.
After a while I had to use the toilet and while I was sitting
there defecating I started having alot of negative thoughts and vibes,
I got the urge to take a shower but I could hardly move so I finished up and got out of
there and went to lay back down and things got much better from there. The Icaros really helped. So I layed there for a few hours seeing visuals and
listening to icaros and thinking
and talking to my mom some. I had alot of great insight like how I had become my enemy and I was destroying myself and I needed to make changes in my life.
after a while I started to come out
of it and started feeling closer to normal, so I decided to call some friends and family and tell them the good news about how I was feeling better.
and they were all quite happy about it, I also called the translator for the shaman that I had been with at my retreat and told her what I was doing, She
then talked to him and got back with me and said I should go outside and lay on the grass on my belly and be grounded and ask ayahuasca for advice.
she also said to eat some dirt which I did. so I layed there for a while and later ate some turnips. after that things got really dark in my thinking,
I mean really dark
I kept thinking that I had gone too far and broken my brain, That all was lost, I was considering ECT and even suicide,
and I just could not make a decision to save my life.
then I had to defecate, So I went inside and did that, And then I decided to take a shower. I was really in a bad mess the worst point in my life
I thought for sure I would
be commited to a mental institution.


But during the shower things turned around and when I got out things slowly started coming together and becoming clearer, Especially when I went to lay down in the
living room, that's when it all changed and turned around I felt so much better. I think the icaros were still playing, they are a vital part of the expirience

I called The shaman's translator again and told her what happened and how much better I felt and thanked her,
And she said that I didn't need the ect and to wait for a week to do anything
else


After that I felt an incredible sense of hope and clarity, I felt the best I had felt in a very long time and I decided to start doing some things again.

So I had a nice warm bowl of oatmeal, And it was so good, And I later decided to have a shave and a haircut and another shower.



Overall it was the most profound life changing expirience I've ever had, And I felt so amazing and thankful to God for all of it.

Now I just need to keep it up and keep making progress, And take more Ayahuasca as needed



Thank You so much to everyone who helped me with this esp spyfish.
Sorry I was such a pain to deal with.


I'm also glad I was able to help kaban and am happy to hear your experience went well.
