Does anyone know how to interpret the extraction test results slide posted on this site?
Factors for increasing the % KLs removed from the kava to the beverage in order of significance.
*Duration of agitation: 120 seconds > 60
---(does this mean 120 sec. is better than 60 sec.)
*Water temperature: 45C > 20C
(does this mean strive to achieve 45C for max results)
*3 cycles of agitation & squeezing > one
( think this means three cycles of agitation is better than one - but each of three cycles should be 120 sec?)
*Agitation: blender > kneading
(blender is better than kneading, but not in a noticable way??)
ns Water volume: 3 times kava weight > 1
(optimal water to kava ratio is three to one?
ns Size of kava pieces 0.5 mm > 3 mm
(smaller pieces are better than larger)
ns Storage: frozen > dry
frozen is better than dry?
How or where does one get frozen??
ns Root = stump
