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...

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...

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...

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...

I started to veer off into a bit of a monologue/rant in the Samoan thread, but decided it made more sense to start a new one. I don't know what changed, but I've noticed all of the KWK micros are starting to taste about the same. I have older batches that don't taste like the newer ones and...

1. Is it generally safe to take sleep meds with kava? Kava has not been doing enough lately and I neeeeeed sleep. This leads me to my next question. 2. I just saw @violet say something about Milk Thistle possibly killing my kava’s effectiveness. The brand I take recommends taking it after...

This may not warrant its own thread but.... Cliff's notes backstory: I fractured the top of my femur (head or neck, still not 100% sure) back at the end of June. Had surgery the day of the injury and was given a 3-6 month timeline for healing. 3 years ago I fractured my pelvis, had surgery, and...

I just wanted to stop by and say that I have now received my second order from The Kava Roots and despite the eternity it takes to get all the way from Canadia to Texish, I will happily order from them again and again. Their kava is of excellent quality and potency (tried Tongan Reserve several...

It's really that simple: I use the CTAHR Method to brew up a bigger batch (or two) than I will drink in one day. I like to make more at once so I can have ice cold kava ready when I get home from work. Doesn't seem to lose any flavor but does it lose any potency? Thanks in advance.

I realize that there are a lot of factors that can effect the way that I feel from drinking kava but I think that I noticed from one order to the next that the potency seemed to have changed. Maybe it even varies from bag to bag from the same batch? Hell, maybe this is Kava 101 and someone can...

I have been at this a few months now. I've conquered the RT but still feel like I need A LOT of kava to get me where I want to be. It can easily take 2 tbsp 3x in one night (over an hour and a half) to just get to the starting point. THEN I'm not able to sustain it because I feel gross from...

Hi everyone. I have been popping in from time to time for a while and spent a lot of time here learning prep techniques and the who/what would be worth my time and energy. I have used kava to help me sleep, relax, and improve my crappy moods. I tend to stick with micro since it's faster to...
