    Aluball makas -> CTAHR for 2nd Wash Ratio

    So just an update on my end of day results with the 2nd wash/frozen Aluball makas: It was definitely on the weaker side. I drank half of everything I made last night which was approximately 4c of kava made from ~18tbs of makas. I'm sure my almost disturbingly thorough initial Aluball agitation...

    Aluball makas -> CTAHR for 2nd Wash Ratio

    I stuck with that plan and after digging through the Kavapedia for a while (it was surprisingly hard for me to find the tbs:water info here even though I know I’ve seen it multiple times) I found a reply from a member uses 4tbs:qt. I ended up with 36 soggy-ass tbs of makas to about 9c of water...

    Aluball makas -> CTAHR for 2nd Wash Ratio

    Thank you. I’ve always just stuck with those directions plus 25 or so extra grams of root but have never experimented with reducing the water. Have you or anyone else tested the limits on this? With a first wash of Squanch it would be easy to make an oily, unstrainable pudding but I doubt it’s...

    Aluball makas -> CTAHR for 2nd Wash Ratio

    Hello all. I've been saving my Squanch Waka from my Aluballs and freezing the makas. I always like my kava strong and use the CTAHR method when making big batches. Soooooo... anyone have any thoughts or research (personal or otherwise) on what will make a stronger batch of 2nd wash Squanch...

    Alubottle Leaks

    I ended up trying the Krunkie/Ibbygirl method and, while it does work, it makes the gigantic lid almost impossible to unscrew. That thing really is massive and it was hard enough before. I understand the rationale for the size of the bottle but maybe making a two-piece lid (the "shell" part...

    Did you miss the Hanakapi'Ai?

    You're absolutely correct but I couldn't find a place to do it. I did change it to SOLD at least. Sorry, I meant to do it right when it did sell.

    Alubottle Leaks

    I assume you’re talking about the V1? I guess that might work for both versions but without being able to use the pour spouts on the lids. Thanks for the tip. Ideally I get the V2 to work because it was designed much better for use with the Aluball. I may see if I can just push some plastic...

    Alubottle Leaks

    #doubleballer for life. I also always use warm water. I’d have to get a larger blender bottle but that is a simple solution. I just hate to add more plastic to the trash heap if there’s any possible way of fixing it. Plus, I like supporting that company since they’ve alway been really good to...

    Alubottle Leaks

    I've had to stop using my Alubottle because after the 100th time of flinging kava water all over my floor and furniture, I had to accept that it was always going to leak. I don't think it matters how tightly I screw the lids on, one or both pieces seem to trap and release liquid whenever I shake...

    Did you miss the Hanakapi'Ai?

    I am definitely not trying to step on any toes or steal Chris's thunder but since no one seems to go to the kava market here, I thought I'd point the right people in that direction. The short version: I'm hoping to sell my sealed Hanakapi'Ai medium grind to someone who missed the special batch...

    Did BKH get my order wrong?

    I had the same issue with a 1lb bag and replied to my order confirmation email (which is the email address listed above) and have not heard back yet. I'm not sure why I was not included in the "may be effected" group but I guess I will shoot them another email. It's been so long since I bought...

    Drinking kava constantly. Any health issues?

    I probably drink a gallon+ of water every day and it doesn't change that much. I do know the days where I've had too little water for whatever reason that kava will give me horrible headaches. @Zac Imiola (Herbalist) - how much MCT is in the capsules? Still trying to figure out how much CO I...

    Drinking kava constantly. Any health issues?

    As an aside of sorts- how much coconut oil is necessary? I’ve got old man hands and split finger tips from it (one of the most irritating and painful things in my book) and I’d just take it by spoon or mixed in and save the capsules. My blood pressure has been up and I have had issues with...

    Where are all the micronized kavas?

    I went to the site this morning and it would appear that all of the micro is out of stock? I don't expect more than 1-2 to be available any more but I was surprised that even the Nene isn't available! Any idea when more micro might be available @Gourmet Hawaiian Kava ? I'm mostly interested in...

    How to identify kava dermo ?

    I've wondered about my situation: I don't know that it's dermo or just kava-dehydrated skin: I have dusty feeling, wrinkled hands, new wrinkles on my face (that seem to lessen when I drink a little less), and my skin feels like I'm wearing a dried out faux leather body suit I found in my attic...

    Where are all the micronized kavas?

    I do realize that processing micronized is labor intensive, but is there too little demand or just too little time? I was heartbroken when the Micro Boronguru (sp?) went away and while I've accepted that there may never be a comparable replacement, I do wish there were a couple more options now...

    Kava Extract Review Co2 Kava Concentrate - 30g Tube - Honey Orange Vanilla

    I've only used powdered extracts thus far so I'm not really sure what to expect or how best to use this stuff. Do you actually try and weigh it somehow or squeeze into a 1/4 tsp? I've been eyeballing it, keeping it on my tongue and gums for a little bit and then washing it down. I don't know...

    Micronized Kava Review Boroguru - Micronized

    I ordered 2lbs in July and I've been surprised by the effects. Still heavy on average, but past batches have been euphoric at the onset and then mellowed over time. This used to be my after work through bedtime kava and now I have to cut myself off much earlier or it keeps me awake. It's...

    Make a micro for us squanch!

    My FT job ALONE has prevented my kava business from getting off the ground. Or really any business besides my job. Though I do wish you had a micro for lazy/busy days (which seem to be many) I, for one, am pretty freaking glad you sell kava in any form. Squanch is easily one of my top three. I...
