Hello Nexians,
Been part of the community for years, but recently changed to a new username.
If anyone could help me out with this basic calculation it would be amazing

I have 85% food grade phosphoric acid and am planning on using the 2nd version of the hummingbird tek, posted below, for a cold water extraction. In the tek they're using 10% phos, so by my basic calculation I would be adding only 3 drops of 85% phos per 1/2 gallon of H20. Or would it be more suitable to use more water to start with and now using slightly more than 3 drops of phos?

First way is pretty much a traditional brewing , but with phos.
Now, 20 drops of 10% food grade phosphoric acid in 1/2 gal of distilled water = ph3... Please be sure to get that right!
So, place the herbs in the solution at a ratio of at least 20/1 solution/herbs, (by ounces).
Soak 1-3 days (the longer the better), in mason jar, shake vigorously as much as is practical, (several times a day).
Then simmer 3x (no boiling) for three hours or so, each simmer.
For 2nd simmer, use 1/2 as much acid, for 3rd use plain distilled h2o.
If you like, make the 3rd simmer longer, as you feel.
Each extraction is filtered through a permanent wire mesh coffee filter, then put in fridge for at least a day to completely settle.
Then carefully decant, leaving the sediment, combine, and gently reduce to 4-6 oz, total, per dream serving.
This tec has (in dreams) produced exceptional results with vine/leaf combo.
2nd Tek - Long cold soak for rootbark (powdered, by dreamer)
Same solution, same ratio.
1st soak, 4-5 days in fridge shaking often. Filter, place in fridge to settle.
2nd soak, 4-5 days in fridge, with 1/2 the amount of acid, shaking often. filter, place in fridge to settle.
3rd soak (might be optional, it's pretty pale) 1-2 days, plain distilled water, shake, filter, place in fridge to settle.
After all the extractions have completely settled, VERY carefully decant, combine, and gently reduce to 2-3 oz per dream serving. Then in a dream, drink after drinking a caapi brew (2-3 oz) made with the other tek.Lets solve this together

Thanks in advance
