Alas, I am not krunknshit yet unfortunately. My child has perfected the pterodactyl scream when he disagrees so I haven’t gotten to kneading out the rest of it yet. Soon though!
Looks like it made a pretty strong grog with those already used makas. I have yet to begin keeping and freezing the makas but I am more and more convinced that it looks like a great method to extend your kava $.
For me it’s a hit or miss experience with the makas prep but it can go quite well sometimes! I haven’t mastered it yet.
haha that there is funny!
I suppose it is!
I use the goofy terms to make light of the situation, but I was pretty annoyed last night. This child is quite the character. They both are, but one is clearly louder when he goes about it.
i hear you.I suppose it is!
stick it in a bag, close the bag tight, add the water, about as hot as you can get it from the tap (usually a half gallon). Let sit for ten minutes to really soak. Then knead for 5 minutes . Decant and chill and drink.
That’s interesting how some do better post freezer! The Squanch seems to hold up ok. Good for when in a pinch anyways.
Blasphemy!
Haha! I’m guilty of these family dynamics on occasion!i hear you.
I have a pooch who i cant, no matter what, get her to stop yapping really loud everytime she sees another dog.
Its so loud i get a headache and start screaming at her to stop. Eventually wifey yells at me to stop screaming because im now louder than muttley. This increases my headache even more
Squanch is perfectly balanced for pre- and post-freezer preps.That’s interesting how some do better post freezer! The Squanch seems to hold up ok. Good for when in a pinch anyways.
My strainer bag isn’t big enough for this process. Or I’m just clumsy. I may invest in another kavafied bag for this purpose. Gave the other one away to a friend to encourage traditional prep. Now he uses it for both kava and kramtom tea, washing in between.
what you had in the pic was, IMO, way too much for one bag and would have been best done in two large bags, two separate batches.That’s interesting how some do better post freezer! The Squanch seems to hold up ok. Good for when in a pinch anyways.

I like the sound! It’s more gross and awesome than macaroni and cheese. Also my hand strength isn’t awesome so kneading bigger balls of makas is difficult for me. No time to do itty bitty batches. I need me a ward to prep my makas!
@GreatScotty perhaps
I've never really kneaded mac and cheese so can't really compare. Sounds like fun, tho. Maybe the next Squanch sesh....I like the sound! It’s more gross and awesome than macaroni and cheese.

Just make sure you have two gallon ziplock bags full of makas and a fun potato masher. Tons of sound fun, even if pointless.
Well my hand strength is not great, especially as I have a lot of pretty hardware inside my wrist, but I find that time soaking plus gentle working it is good. I am not rigid on timing, do believe in the hot water, and push it to washes far beyond the usual. So what if I have more water than suggested. It is all hydration and I honestly think the later, weaker washes have something that gets missed in the early ones. Subtle but there.I like the sound!
