I guess that's good for hydration and a mild buzz
?? 1 gallon to 100 grams would be too weak for me. I use nearly half of that with 600ml but then again moderation and I were never friends.
In my blender preps lately, I have used about 42 grams root, filling up to the 1 litre line with hot water to rest before blending. It has been plenty thick enough, but palatable at this ratio.
I even felt the need to water it down the other night it was so thick. A glorious mix of Kava Depot Kadavu Waka, really heavy, dreamy, hypnotic....just very strong kava too, after 1 year and dozens of cultivars, as potent as any for me including my only Kavatime experience with the Gourmet Savusavu (I couldn't order to UK from KT, but it's even more of a speciality now that I saved my 2nd lucky pound of Savusavu unopenef for Christams)
And Pouni Ono 50/50 with the Depot Kadavu, which by itself makes me feel like a ballerina dancer lol! (pouni)
But 42 grams, 1 litre line, so less liquid effectively vs root. The sunflower lecithin emulsifies it in the blender. It is a pig to strain as a result, so thick and viscious, vs shaking in a sealed bag.
But wow, I forgot how potent, full bodied, and more enjoyable the effects are blended with lecithin. And possibly partly because of the emulsifying properties of the lecithin when blended after a hot water soak makes the grog naturally thicker but I am finding that this ratio is perfectly thick enough for me to drink without being slightly watery at 1L line to 42 grams powder.
@Krunʞy sorry mate, honestly not meaning to patronize, or say how you should suck eggs.
You have piles of real knowledge about kava which I fully respect.
