Brewing differences with different cacti.

So as I've been brewing cacti and trying different ones, I've been noticing some interesting differences. Some of VERY slimy, some are less slimy. My bridgesii aren't very slimy at all, but my most recent brew I'm using this peruvianus that I haven't brewed before and it is SUPER snotty. Also has a different smell to it when it's brewing. Kinda vinegary. Also finding a lot of fatty looking white stuff coagulating on the surface as I reduce it. Also this peruvianus had much darker green tissue than my bridgesii which are a lighter green.
Just thought it might be fun to talk about the different characteristics of different cacti when it comes to brewing. Have you guys ever noticed this?

Yeah this brew is a combo bridgesii and peruvianus. I might take some pedro powder too just to get the whole trinity going. I was gonna add some to this brew, but I ran out of time and space.

Sounds good brother! I only tried powdered cactus mixed with orange juice in a blender and it didn't do much even though I vomited the massive orange jelly fish 3 hours later, not to mention bubble guts.
Hoping this boiled down syrup will do the job as its so bitter.

You just gotta reduce it down as much as you can so it's only a shot or two of it. Take some lemon essential oil first.

Yep I should be getting the LEO soon:) I might mix the syrup with a pineapple or grape fruit juices d drink it. Wondering if I should do half a jar in nature or at home to test it before trying at a music festival.
Edit: how do you take the lemon oil?

You just drop it on your tongue or you can puddle it in your palm and lick it up.

I've only brewed Bridgesii once and Pedro twice; however both Pedro brews were very snotty while the Bridgesii was more like cutting pineapple.

When I made the Bridgesii tea I skinned and tried to eat a 4" piece before I drank my tea. After about five bites in I said fuck it and just blended it into the tea. Nasty as fuck but worth it
