Had a few questions, and figured I'd get some input.

SWIM was brewing up my second attempt at mimosahuasca today, when SWIM found out that SWIM's landlord was going to be doing some work at their place, apparently this will go on for while over a week.

At that time, SWIM was about 50min into the first boil of vinegar, water and about 8g of MHRB.

Not really wanting to deal with people curious to what SWIM was doing, SWIM strained off the liquid (had it a touch too hot and simmered it down quite a bit) and put it in the fridge. SWIM also saved the powder and put the sludge into a ziplock and threw that in the fridge as well.

SWIM was wondering if anyone has an idea of how long could it sit in the fridge like that without getting moldy or losing any goodies? Better yet, SWIM was thinking about putting the sludge in with some vinegar and water into the fridge until it was ok to resume the activity.

Swim is unsure that one short boil is enough to extract the goodies and really doesn't want to waste it.

Any thoughts or ideas are greatly appreciated.

guess it doesn't matter as the Harmala extraction was a bust. Probably best to start from scratch and throw it up as a learning experience.

im not 100% but im pretty sure it can sit in the fridge for a few weeks to a month or more.. so long as there is nothing growing on it/smells funky..

why throw it out? that would be a waste in my eyes... you can just keep it til your ready to go again and continue from where you left off.

Thanks for the reply.

Might as well throw it into a fresh container with new water and vinegar and leave it in the fridge for a while.

Right now, the manske extraction is the first priority.

that sounds more promising

good luck
