Do you double down washing/prepping your kava?

[BulaBilly]

Im wondering if you can reuse or re wash kava after the initial batch has been prepared and consumed? Is the second batch much less potent? Im also new to this site, so hello everyone!!....Billy

Yes, yes. I like to mix them both together so both halves have equal potency.

I don't really feel the need to, plus it means I'd have to wash more bowls.

As someone who uses used kava root again on its own, I can say that it does absolutely seem weaker. I throw all my remains in a container and keep in the fridge. When it gets full I use the whole container to my usual 2 cups water. It really comes in handy when I am in between kava shipments! And it certainly does the trick but again a tad weaker and watery-er.

I always read member prep methods that include re washing and adding to original batch. Wll have to try!

i do a second wash and add it to the first (minus the first mason jar of the night) about 90% of the time. sometimes i really don't care or i forget
