The whole reason I was interested in getting a soxhlet was to make my home month long double extraction into something closer to a gram per milliliter. Your ratios are still 1:5-1:7, depending on what kind of mushroom, which means it will take at least 5 mL, or full droppers in a tincture, to make it equal to 1 g of dry. Do I need to get a bigger soxhlet than you or just replace the bags like 6 times which seems like will take a while?..

@@Fungiacademythe question about the dosage is quite important when it comes to the question "do I take enough?" (for example, when taking magnesium, or D3, or whatever, taking too little does not make any effect for the health). Or with "spiritual" mushrooms, it might be the opposite, i.e. "will this be too much?". Is there an idea how to measure the tincture dosage for intake? But with medicinal mushrooms the effect is not apparent (unlike the spiritual ones), so... is the dosage enough to make a difference in the body/mind? And also if you sell your tinctures, the customers would expect a guidance on the dosage. Probably, the approach might be like the following. If 100ml was extracted from 100g of mushrooms. And let's assume 100% yield/efficiency, then 1ml of tincture is equivalent to eating 1g of mushrooms. Then, it seems that 20 drops from a standard dropper is 1ml (the internet says so). Therefore, 20 drops of tincture = 1 gram of dried mushrooms. Then, the big question is yield efficiency. Probably, science papers can provide some guestimate on an average efficiency for the soxhlet method, but I suspect it highly depends on the matter being extracted, thus, will vary even between different mushroom types/species. But at least they say it's more efficient then the "soaking" method. Do you have any kind of such estimates, or method, or whatever?

Hey Michele, this is a complicated topic and I wouldnt be able to give you a solid answer without having acces to a lab that can test these things for me. In theory, the tincture should be more potent, just because you're eliminating chitin and making all the myconturients more bioavailable. Lastly the colors of our Soxhlet tinctures are on another level compared to the mason jar method, they're fuller and darker and although i can't say for certain without testing they look and feel way stronger then how we used to do it.

Even if you do have cheap and plentiful access to clean running water, its still a relatively rare and precious resource, so I'd still recommend using a closed loop cooling system for your condenser. A simple radiator/fan combo typically used for computer CPU watercooling is plenty more than adequate for the job and is reasonably affordable too. Another cool thing you can do with your extracts is to dehydrate them in a vacuum freeze drier, and then you'll just be left with your 100% pure powdered extracts and no water/alcohol.

Great video but you were thinking of methanol when you said isopropyl can make you blind or kill you. Isopropyl is more toxic than ethanol, but only marginally so. It’s oxidised to acetone by the liver.

Just kidding, total minimum cost of the equipment is like $250 US

I couldn’t keep myself from thinking if this guy is high the whole video 😅🙃

Maybe😄

How many gallons of water are going down the drain for one complete extraction? This cooling method seems wasteful and costly if I'm understanding correctly and cold water is constantly running from your sink, through your system, and down the drain for many hours on end...

Our grey water goes into our garden and feeds our plants during the dry season so nothing is wasted

In all these comments, we've got "Thanks, thanks thanks..." But no one stopped to consider if applying boiling heat, overnight, to the compounds in the mushrooms would cause them to degrade... I mean... Why are the tincture bottles brown? To keep light out to preserve the compounds. I've never heard of this boiling method, but I wouldn't want to take it over a proper 30-60 day alcohol extraction without a lab nerd telling me all was good in tinseltown...

I honestly stopped using them lol

So the Ethanol won't corrode the staples on those "sacks" and taint your tincture? Seems like a risk that shouldn't be taken.

Not as far as we can tell... But honestly we ran out of staples and stopped using them, still works great

Does this method not destroy the alkaloids found in mushrooms? I mean... theres a reason why we dont cook mushrooms with medical properties.

Test results show differently!

just a story, the forst of minds whispered to me one night: when sacred mushies stop growing from your litterbox, or no more truffles are to be found in a jar, that litter is still full of hidden magic. it must be bone dry and finely ground. they also said that brown litter juice is full of poo and no good. but when it's plenty strong, and made icy cold, the pure magic will condense from the crud and form tiny shards of crystal, most treasured by trevellers between worlds.

It seems like a bit of a fire hazard, especially boiling ethanol, with no mention of proper ventilation.

There's no flame, therefore no fire hazard. Remember, the alcohol vapors don't leave the apparatus

​@@FungiacademyAs an analytical chemist, you may want to rethink that, there is still very much a risk, and a reason why we do these procedures in well ventilated spaces, under a laminar flow cabinet.
