100g of dried and powdered Trichocereus Achuma cactus in Everclear. First attempt at extracting anything. In this case, mescalito.
The dark layer are tanins, other thangs, and hopefully the alkaloids I seek. I pour off and refill until that layer runs clear. Then put the batch of ethanol with the goodies in a glass pan, allow it to evaporate leaving the extracted material.
It ultimately depends on the strength of the cactus, but this batch should provide two strong trips.
