mhrb and vinegar ...

[stolenface]

A friend (literally) asked me to help him with his mimosa . I usually go stb but after seeing Ice Houses wonderful yellow crystals that he got via stb with a vinegar soak, I decided convinced my friend he should let me take that route. the project is for a friend tho I will be reaping some of the benefits for doing the work.the mimosa is currently soaking in vinegar and a little water. I called my friend after two days of soaking and he told me that he has no money left. I had told him prior to this that I am leaving to new york for a week and that we needed to do this within a specified time peiod, he agreed.This time period is over today, so I am going to have to let this mimosa sit in the vinegar until I get back. I will be back on the 12th of oct. ....Is it ok to leave the mimosa soaking in the acidic solution for that long, and should i place it in the fridge so it wont mold? any help would be appreciated.

You're fine to leave it soaking...putting it in the fridge won't hurt anything, but probably isn't necessary given the incredibly low pH. If you want to be certain of avoiding mold, I'd say go ahead and pop it in the fridge, if it's overkill it won't be detrimental.

i can't really comment on mimosa, though i know with acacia in some cases extended periods of time that the material is left soaking in acidic solution, the dmt can degrade. This happened to me once when my friend took the wrong bottle out of the fridge thinking it was his clove and ginger mouthwash and ended up taking it on holidays with him for two weeks. fortunately i was able to let him know in time what it was, but by the time he got back the yield was very small as opposed to usual. i'm sure others know more than myself on the matter.. all i could suggest is that you dilute it a little bit with some water just to be on the safe side?
