Brewing time for MHRB

So I got my hands on 500g of Mimosa Hostilis rook bark and I could find no definitive answer on the net as to how long it should be brewed for, some recipes suggest brewing for 12 hours but some say brewing for too long destroys the DMT, would appreciate any input/ experience.
Also I am attempting a cold water extraction, I put 20g with water in a sealed jar which I am shacking regularly. I have heard this method was just as effective as brewing with heat, has anyone tried this method if so was the potency the same as a normal MH brew?
thanks

Way too long! It's really not different to mushroom or indeed any tea. I've found that with heat and vinegar the vast majority of actives are pulled out with a simple one hour boil which too may even be way too long! The second pull may get a bit more, but the third will come out almost clear!
IME the only time you have to be careful is when boiling the brew down- just take care that you don't burn it!

I think your talking about using the potion without an MAO right? In which case I have heard -though haven't myself experienced- that a cold water extraction can be effective at about 15 grams! Its still though in my opinion a massive waste of precious mimosa!
Cold water or not bud, don't even consider taking 20 grams with an MAO!
Good luck bud!

So would three 45 minute washes be sufficient? After this I would simply boil down the tea down to a manageable size?

I wasn't planning an taking to whole 20g to myself haha! So how much would you suggest I dose of the 20g to test (I will be taking Syrian Rue as the MAO). Also I figured the cold water extraction should be as effective as the normal brew because DMT is highly soluble in water, obviously it would take longer for the cold water extraction.

It depends how much mimosa you are going to be using buddy, boiling up 20 grams will leave you with the problem of not really knowing how much you are taking so I would really advise in future that you boil up no more than 3 grams, or the amount which you intend to use!
3 forty five minute washes would be fine and is pretty much what I always used to do before realizing that 2 is quite enough!

Bit of a crap shoot to be honest! Determine what 3 grams of mimosa would be considering that you used 20 grams of mimosa in your potion! Maths was never my strong point, one glug? I never brew up more than I am going to take in one sitting to be honest! You wont even know how potent the mimosa you have is, so always start small!

I'm really not sure about that bud so hold for advice from someone else! How come you don't want to use heat? Don't have a stove?
