How much time needed to shake the Aluball?

[Kavaguy]

I was considering getting a Aluball but thought shaking it for ten minutes would be tiring for the arms. Is ten minutes of kneading kava in a strainer bag equivalent to agitating it for ten minutes in the Aluball, or is the Aluball a shortcut, and only requires a fraction of the time for traditional prep?

4-5 minutes is fine, I let it soak for a few more and briefly shake it some more.

I shake mine for 2 minutes each wash, and do 2 washes. Works for me and been doing it this way for a year already. The say you only need to shake it for 30 seconds and its good, but I feel more comfortable with the 2 minute version. Good luck and have fun with it.

I also do 2 minutes per wash. Works great!

Sounds good, thanks!

90 seconds, but I'm impatient. Sometimes only 60 seconds.

Will you extract more kavalactones by doing two separate washes for the same time period, say 2 minutes each vs one wash for 4 minutes?
