Best % Alcohol For Cactus Powder Extraction?
    #21933258 - 07/12/15 12:15 PM (8 years, 6 months ago)

Yet another question for which I can find no definite answer.

I'm wanting to try an alcohol extraction on some San Pedro powder but have read the % of alcohol actually makes a difference.  Now I don't know if it's true or not but I found several posts saying that if you use a lower alcohol with a little water in it actually extracts more alkaloids and you get a better experience, can anyone else confirm this?

What alcohol would people recommend? Could I just get 99% ad add a little water or?

I like around 30 percent just because any more is a waste of ever clear. Plus if you use alcohol and water you get the full spectrumof alkaloids. extract and tea together. Filter it well!!

Get ever clear and remove the core and wax of the cactus

it takes a while but your end product will be very potent

30% alcohol or water?

What do you use for a filter?  Can I use a cheesecloth?

I've purchased powdered San Pedro and Dried P Torch chips so I guess the preparation bit has already been done.

I do have 5 30cm cuttings (3 SP 2 Bridgesii) on the way too but I'm tempted to plant those and let em grow for now.

A clean white t shirt is what I use when I have a lot to filter and I use around 20-30%everclear

Balls.  Apparently Everclear isn't legal in the UK?  http://www.quora.com/Is-it-possible-to-buy-Everclear-in-the-UK

Yeah that should work but you will have to make sure it's completely dry so you don't ingest any iso. You can drink everclear. But if you can't get it than iso will work too.

Hmm I'd rather something edible too though, what else can I use?

I looked up Bacardi 151 but it was £65 a bottle!

Haha well even vodka would work  since you planned on diluting the everclear anyway. But it might leave some impurities behind so vodka work work if ya want crystals. But it will give you a crude extract.

FWIW, you could just do a water extract and evaporate it to a tar. The alkaloids are readily soluble in water.

Add a splash of vinegar per boil to help make the alkaloids more soluable in water if you use the water route

Yeah vodka doesn't have much in it but water and alcohol. But it has a little residue I'd imagine.
