Couple of questions, if you please

[Shubankari]

I copied the following from the collaborative CIELO preparation found online.

I’ve zero interest in or ability to set records at my age, but always looking for ways to spend less time on my feet!

Forgive my ignorance, but can one substitute fumaric acid at 60-70% of .055 parts citric acid amount?
Also, just one salting of acid is required for however many pulls are done? TIA!

“TEK Example CIELO process for record seekers (raw cactus powder to pure mescaline citrate):

• Prepare ingredients for world/personal record and start timer
• Turn on stand mixer with 1 part cactus and add in order 0.22 parts lime until uniform (seconds), 1.33 parts ice cold water (seconds), and finally 2.22 parts fridge cold ethyl acetate. Stand mix for a few minutes
• Strain/filter mixing bowl solvent into jar over mag stirrer with mag stirrer rod (a fine metal pasta strainer pushed down into the mixing bowl can be helpful)
• Add another 2.22 parts fridge cold ethyl acetate to stand mixer for second pull for a few minutes (go to next step before this one finishes)
• While stand mixer runs with second pull, turn on magnetic stirrer with first pull and add 0.055 parts of citric acid
• Strain second pull into xtalizing extract
• Decide if any more pulls are needed
• Decide when to stop the xtalization
• Collect xtals in coffee filter, rinse with fresh EA, and dry quickly (e.g. with a paper towel press followed by hot hair from a hair dryer)

Hi, I don't know how long you waited before deleting your post (a day at the most, though) on grounds of lack of response, but deletion does nothing towards your chances of getting an answer!

Maybe you've found the information you were looking for, or gone ahead and experimented anyhow.

The main thing is that you can indeed use fumaric acid instead of citric, and this has been discussed in some of the other cactus extraction threads. One salting should be enough if sufficient acid has been used, but it's best to check up on the solubility of fumaric acid in EA in the appropriate thread. An excess would throw your dosing off.

Salting all the combined pulls in one go is obviously less work, although salting each pull individually would allow you to monitor the progress of the pulls in recovering all the mescaline from the cactus.
