It does not get squeezed, but there is force involved. If you give a weak shake the root can be very wet, but you when you smash it out the roots gets sponge dry just like with kneading. It is almost as effective. We just need the XL ball to come out to really show it's power when we can insta batch 100 grams. One ball only holds 1 and a half tablespoons. Many double ball shake it to get a nice dose.How does the root get squeezed inside that little ball? Sure, it jiggles around but I just don't see the fibers getting wrung out like a good traditional prep.
Also, a local fabric store was having a going out of business sale and I scored a mountain of cheesecloth super cheap.
I disagree. One ball holds up to 2 (even heaped) tablespoons without influencing the shaking process (i.e. there is still enough room for the root powder to move around in the ball). However, using two balls is even better, and the XL ball would be paradise, you're right.One ball only holds 1 and a half tablespoons.
Yeah, I thought of doing that but it would be a real drag washing the pantyhose before my wife gets home.I've been using doubled up pantyhose filled with kava and tied on both sides as a aluball and it works great. After one shake there is not very much left, it's very effective.
Can't you get disposable ones? I buy 3 pairs for $3 at my local supermarket.Yeah, I thought of doing that but it would be a real drag washing the pantyhose before my wife gets home.
Are you serious?I've been using doubled up pantyhose filled with kava and tied on both sides as a aluball and it works great. After one shake there is not very much left, it's very effective.
cool. i might give it a try. How much powder do you use?Yep, it works pretty good. I usually make a traditional grog but when I'm running low on time I'll do this.
Thanks Henry, but I was kidding. I am very happy with my Aluball, thanks to your recommendation.Can't you get disposable ones? I buy 3 pairs for $3 at my local supermarket.
Yes, I also love it. Perfect for quick prep and for comparing different strains.Thanks Henry, but I was kidding. I am very happy with my Aluball, thanks to your recommendation.
Ok, Thanks for explaining The Aluball jug is around 700 ml... or half a litre if you leave some air for shaking and two balls.I disagree.
