This week I've been doing a 4g CWE (or room temp extraction) of MHRB...on my 3rd pull now and about to siphon off the liquid to do a 4th pull...just had a quick question as this is my first time doing it this way.

Is it ok for this to be stored at room temp for a few weeks or it is necessary for it to be in the fridge? Due to my current living situation I cant really keep it in the fridge w/o nosy people asking too many questions and possibly even dumping it down the drain because they think it is some old tea gone bad or something.

Can it go bad from storing it at room temp or should I get it in the fridge ASAP? Right now I have all my pulls collected into a plastic jar with a tight lid so no air is getting to it & it is in the dark.

I know the fridge is obviously the best way but I dont want to risk it right now.

Any info would be appreciated!

So no one here has ever stored a brew at room temp?

Hello?

*taps microphone* Is this thing on?

Anyone?

1. You could probably keep it out in the open, try to keep it as cool as possible.
2. If you have a shared fridge you're probably living with other people, and they should know if you're extracting DMT.
3. From what I know, you will get better crystals if you put it in the freezer.

You could possibly get your container with the fluid, and put it in a food container and tell everyone not to eat your food. then it probably won't be disturbed.

collected/filtered pulls will eventually mold more often than not in a sealed container at room temp IME.

for some reason, CWE with MHRB solids still in the container do not. Seems MHRB has antibacteria properties, ive had bottles with MHRB and distilled water sit at room temp for over a month and never had one develop any mold.

get a mini fridge. they can be had for less than $50. Target has one for $40.

Or, if you wanted to.. you could pour your Cold Water Extraction into one or more glass pie or brownie dishes to evaporate. (Depending how much water was used) Then to be sure not to loose any spice, do a couple boils of the mimosa with acv or a lemon & you could even let that evap.
Then... get a big plant bowl and store the mimosa leftovers so that you can make sculptures with it later...

This way you just store thee shiny deep red shards of mimosa tea the same way you would any spice extraction, in a glass airtight container, cool dark place, maybe the freezer or a cellar, place it in capsules or add water to rehydrate

side note, while in the process of my first 'real extraction', used this CWE method with boiled rue tea, jungle mimosa shards and cela + cappi leaves for my first quite potent changa experience. all placed into a brownie dish at room temp, twirled well and left 4 or 6 days to evaporate.. mmm changa I like full spectrum and try to do cwe before any boil everytime.
