left on the counter for 2 days

[Camaytoc]

I've been wondering if the strainer filled with about 8 tablespoon that I've forget on the counter should be trown away or the natural antiseptic of kava will preserves it. The smell was a bit off but not enough to make me sure about it.

The maka has been washed two time at first and was not fully dried after the 2 days of sleeping at room temp.

Any experiance from you guys about that?

I would be pretty skeptical, but im not 100 percent sure. I would THINK that bacteria would have started to multiply by that time, and probably may not be a good idea.

Like i said im not 100 percent sure, im sure others may have better opinions from experience.

one day ok, two days no! And even with that you really want to keep it in the fridge overnight. The makas will never dry out, unless you spread them out on a metal sheet in the sun, which you wouldn't do unless you were Peter Colmar looking to resell by adulterating good root (jk, I am sure he would never do that). If you aren't going to use makas soon just freeze then thaw later when needed.

Recorded!
Thanks a huge bunch of times! Thrown in the void right away!

After two days it should be pretty funky. I suspect bold, yet timid hints of chemical toilet, with a flutter of ass

I find as the starches turn to sugar it gets very sweet, and if it's in a cloth bag the bag gets grey and then brown

After emptying the strainer, I think it kind of smells like rot... Subtle but still... it smell like garbage juice hehe.
This morning I was in a hurry so I'm glad I got the nice idea to post on the forum!

I think the real question is, How do you forget about it on the counter?

2 day old grog turns sour. Might be fermentation, might be some mind of enzymatic breakdown.

It might not make you sick but you don't know has been growing in it. If you want to store kava longer than overnight, freeze it.

I usualy put it in the fridge over nigth.

Is it easy to manage unfreezing? I have a few in the freezer actually, flat frozen in Zip-loc. I guess putting the bag in warm water will go fine.

I'm only in my second week using kava. Didn't BT yet.

one nice way of freezing is using ice cube trays, then you put the frozen cubes in a thick ziplock freezer bag and only take out what you needed. It can be really a clever idea to cool your fresh grog down by adding frozen grog cubes.

Isshhh, ouais! bien que centenaire, l'état de salubrité de ma maison me laisse aucun doute que cette vermine n'entrera pas chez nous! LoL

Were you asking about the bag or the makas? I'd wash the bag in soap and water and not worry about it. I'd've thrown the makas away.

I was speaking about the maka in the bag. I usualy just rince well the bags in warm water and let them dry out.

My experience:
- room temp (or warm made) on the counter good for a few hours. I wouldn't push it past 8 hrs.
- sealed up in a mason jar and put in the fridge good for 2-3 days. Might be okay longer but I have never made enough in one batch that I didn't finish in 3 days.
- frozen is good for quite a while but the most I have had frozen kava for is a few weeks

That matches with my experience.
