WG used 10g of 5X b. caapi powder and 20g Acacia Confusa per person. B. Caapi powder was consumed on its own a half hour before the A. Confusa brew and participants got some stomach rumblings but no purge or DMT effects. Both the powder and bark were in a dark, but not terribly cool place (the temp may have reached 100F once or twice) for about six months. Bark was cooked low for about 10 hours with a tablespoon of vinegar at the beginning and a tablespoon for the last two hours.
Are the materials too old? What is the perfect temp for bark brew and for how long? WG had some MHRB that was in the same place that the vine powder and A. Confusa bark was in and it yields just fine. Strange. It worked so well before. See WG's Fictitious Formosahuasca post for recipe.
The whole order of nature evinces a progressive march towards a higher life.
