I would like to make a 10x caapi concentrated changa blend. So i will
A, use 9 units of caapi in IPA then evap the result in 1 unit of caapi
B, use 10 units of caapi in IPA then after decanting i use 1 unit from the existing caapi plant material.
But my question is: i have read somewhere that the menstruum will contain so much solid in itself that i can not ignore its weight. (the more the units of plant material soaked in IPA the more alkaloids are extracted thus increasing its weight).
So how do i measure the correct ratios? how do i know how much final plant material to put in the alkaloid rich IPA before final evap? (i weight the IPA before and after making the menstruum?)
Thank you
