Don't underestimate how overwhelming the experience can be and start with a low dose if you're new to ayahuasca. Dosing for this plant is still experimental, so beginners are referred to Psychotria viridis. As to D. cabrerana, in most recipes 5 grams is a low dose, 10 a normal dose and 15 a high dose.
If you are not yet familiar with making ayahuasca, you should know that hardly anyone who makes it for the first time is successful. For most people, making good ayahuasca is a result of trial and error and several years of practice. You should read about making ayahuasca in books and on the internet (check the links below) and decide on a recipe.

Chagropanga is usually made into a hot water infusion. Depending on the brewer's method, this infusion takes between several hours up to a day to make. Sometimes B. caapi or another plant goes into the same pan, sometimes it has its own pan. Typical boiling times are between 4 and 12 hours. Some people make two or more infusions from the same plant material and add them all together. Sometimes acidifiers like vinegar or lemonjuice are added to speed up the extraction.

In any case, the resulting liquid is boiled down to a small, drinkable size and drunk on an empty stomach.

A small number of people makes an extract from this plant. This extract is typically used as an incense, and it induces a 15 minute psychedelic experience, borrowing elements from the ayahuasca experience, most notably the drastic change in the interpretation of reality or transport of all the senses to another dimension.
