Yage Brew Go Bad.

[Xt]

Having prepared a decent sized pot of Vine, I got exceptionally busy for a couple of days.
Forgetting to put the brew into the fridge it has been visited by some kind of mold particulate sitting upon the surface.

Is this ruined? It has a way to be reduced yet and I'm not shy of boiling it somewhat. If it is truly terrible idea to then drink this... would it be so bad to filter out the sediment from the reduced brew and extract the alkaloids?

:?

if its just a few mold spots and you have a very strong liver you can boil and drink it

although many molds produce carcinogenic poisons, so if there's a lot of mold just throw it away.

It was basically a few white spots. I grabbed what i could with a spoon, boiled the prayanama out of it and filtered. The brew looks fine now to be honest. Should i just extract it to be safe?

Remove the moldy bits, reboil it for some time, and if it tastes ok-drink it. Otherwise throw it away.

I would do as others suggested, boil, but be very cautious about drinking it. I drank some molded caapi tincture once, and had flu like symptoms for a few days that could only be attributed to the moldy tincture. The safest bet without wasting it imo would be an extraction on the brew.

I wouldnt drink it, extracting it and cleaning up the alkaloids seem safer I think.

Righto.

Same thing happened to me, I just done what you done spooned off the mould boiled it hard a few times and drank it and it was fine, quite a strong brew that batch actually!

Well that went to shit. I added NaOH solution with a dropper... the solution went black and nothing precipitated.
Funnily enough that happened last time i tried a caapi extraction.
Mildly pissed of at this whole thing. Wasted a Kilo of vine.
