yup, for evening sesh you'll want a stronger grog, unless it's an 8 hour sesh and you need to pace yourself.

Nothing wrong with using a blender if you like the convenience. If you're worried about sediment, just do your blending and then pour into a muslin bag for straining, instead of like a metal tea strainer or whatever. I think the only blender issue is if you are then doing a prep like my krunk prep using a tea strainer, the kind with the thin wire mesh. Depending on how fine it is, you could get a bit of sediment in there. But a good bag, whether you knead or not, should catch the "bad" sediment and leave the good silky fine stuff to pass through.
Lol sometimes i hate my body, i have bad allergies in spring that usually fade so i would imagine that i have issues with histamine. Never had bad reactions like this before in spring its just the cold like symptoms such as sneezing and itchy eyes. I will give it another go with the kava because i honestly like the effects better than alcohol. Im honestly fine as i know my body its more my wife that is more concerned that wanted to take me to the hospital. She will run and tell my parents and my grandparents so it just got blown well out of proportion because than i have to explain 5 times over what kava is...that is not marijuana and does not make you stoned and that 90% of what the internet will tell you is dated studies with little to no validity.

There was someone here on the forums who is taking black seed oil either before or after the kava for histamine blocking. It also helps to potentiate the effects of the kava too! I would just recommend to NOT add it directly to the grog as you knead it as it will make it too strong and blargy. Been there done that. Good luck! Where there is a will there is a way as the saying goes and I'm sure you will find your way! I wish you all the best! :) (y)

I can't say how effective it is for allergies as I'm not that allergic, but it is good for a variety of other things and has been taken for centuries for its health benefits. Lulu naturals has a good one. @superspeedkit was taking it for histamine. Maybe he can chime in here and give more details of how it works for that. :)

Just tried the muslin bags and they are complete crap, i cant even strain water through them and ended up spilling the kava everywhere wasting it and making A huge mess. Are all muslin bags the same? Think im going to try a t shirt since nylons let too much sediment through.

Oh I have no idea. I've never used a muslin bag or nylons either for that matter. I have the Kavafied Kava strainer and it works great. I've never had a problem with it.

I've had great luck with fine mesh lingerie washing bags. They have held up well for me over time and allow just a small amount of sediment through. They are inexpensive and might be easy for you to find locally.

They're not crap, thousands of people use them every day with complete success, you probably just got the wrong type of bag. Did you use nut milk bags which are designed specifically for making such a beverage from a powdered source using liquid? I have used bags hundreds of times now without a single problem ever.

I can recommend these as they are both excellent and cheap and will last for hundreds of uses. http://a.co/g7s2scl

Yeah they were from amazon, but just would not let anything though. Very thick thread count, i will give the link you sent me a shot though...they are pretty pricey i must say. The ones i got were cheaper and came in a 10 Pack, just said muslin bags nothing about nut milk.
