A friend of mine has been brewing ayahuasca using a recipe that called for 50 g of caapi and 12 g of mhrb. He tried it twice and has had no effects both times. The first time brewing separate and then combining them and the second time taking the caapi first then the mhrb. I have read opinions that have varied greatly on the amount of caapi that should be required for mao inhibition to occur from 30g to 150g. My friend should have probably felt at least something from the caapi I would think. Does the strength of the vine tend to vary greatly? I am thinking he has some weak caapi.

Also is 12g of mhrb too much? I have read in the faq that people have had intense experiences off of 8g. If so, maybe it is good that it didnt work

-For MHRB and Caapi vine; simmer both in an acidic water solution; both in separate pots for 3x3[/b].

-Add fresh water after each 3-hour simmer. Make sure during each 3-hour simmer you keep the water level above the plant material if it starts to get too low.

[b]-Combine all 3x3 cooks of the Caapi in one pot and combine all 3x3 cooks of the MHRB in another pot. Reduce both pots separately making sure to watch the heat as the liquid gets down there; reduce each to a shots-worth.

Now for the dosages:

MHRB: Use anywhere from 3-4g a person (Dont start with 5g+ because that can be some relentless stuff if thoroughly brewed)

CAAPI: Use 75g a person (This will definitely inhibit if brewed properly and then some)

DOSING: I've always dosed them about 25-30 minutes apart, but many prefer to combine and drink both in one go. To each their own, but this is what WORKS for me.

NOTE*** This is my method for brewing; don't take my word for it, obviously dosages vary per person, but if a solid experience is what your wanting this WILL do it.

Thanks so much for sharing the recipe and dosing advice! I had no idea that only 3-4g was needed and my friend used 12g the first time and 15g MHRB the second time...that could have been a long night. My friend has 200g caapi right now so he will probably split that into two doses so it sounds like that should do the trick!

Your very welcome!

Yeah, my strongest ayahuasca experience was on 5.5g of mhrb brewed as how I described to you. It threw me so far I couldn't move off the bed for 3-3.5 hours. The visions were incredibly intense and it felt like I was drifting in and out of my body...couldn't stay in it for the life of me. Next time it'll definitely be bumped down to 3 or so grams of mhrb.

Everyone's tolerance could be different, but preparation goes A LONG way in how the brew will turn out. Energy in~energy out

But with the 75g of caapi and 3-4g mhrb with the 3x3 acidic cooks...I can almost guarantee something magnificent will happen for you.

Let us all know how it goes and if you have any more questions throughout the brewing process you can post and ask.

And yeah if your buddy has 200g caapi and if you guys plan on brewing all of it, you can split it in half, but only drink 3/4 of it (that'll be around the 75 mark). 100g of caapi per person could pack a major wallop! hehe

Awesome! Looking forward to trying this out! My friend usually lets it soak for about a couple days in the acidic solution and is pretty thorough with the cooks so I'm feeling good about this! I will post back on the experience. Should be in a couple weeks to a month or so, whenever the time is right. Thanks again
