SWIMS sister's mother recently made a wonderful batch of Changa. She was attempting to make some 10x caapi in order to do a 1: 1 infusion with some wonderful spice.
Sooo, she took 50grams of cielo caapi leaf from Hawaii, Mayas and she crushed it up good then mixed it with a 1/2 pint of 99% anhydrous IPA in a quart mason jar. There it sat for two weeks in a dark warm spot. It was shaken well at least once a day during this two weeks.
After the two weeks, She took and seperated the juice from the pulp. The bright deep dark green juice was then added to another jar that had 5 grams of caapi leaf in it. This jar was shaken daily and allowed to sit and soak for a week. The lid was removed from the jar and the IPA was slowly evaped away.
once completely dried the 5 grams now weighed 8.5 grams.
Does anyone know if this is a typical weight gain or not? This is the first time she was this methodical about making changa.
She then took 5 grams of this 10x caapi and infused it with 5 grams of some very wonderful spice.
The changa she made in the past has always been very good, this batch however is believed to be a very special batch, I imagine it is very potent. The entire process took a month. No hurries.
I am excited to try it.
