When does kava go bad?

[mos3z]

I have a batch that's been sitting in the fridge for a couple weeks
Does it ever go bad? How can u tell?
Would it make u sick or anything or just taste bad?

After 3 days it'll have a danky sour taste.



First time was the last for me. I don't know if it'll make you sick...I didn't swallow it.

3 days? I've been keeping it at least a week no problem, tastes and smells the same.

I had some fu'u that was close to 2 weeks and it tasted a little off but not that bad. Haven't gotten sick yet lol

I assume if it smells and tastes ok it's fine to drink?

After about the third day I notice a sour taste. I assume this is because there is some starch in root fiber that will ferment. Kava is still drinkable and effective at this point though.

I've drank the sour stuff. It wasn't the tastiest, but it didn't kill me.

Wow, didn't realize 3 days was the standard. I've been constantly doing 1 week at least. I guess I'm the guinea pig, well I can say it hasn't hurt me at all and seems just as strong. It's strange I haven't noticed any smell, maybe because my fridge almost freezes stuff.

I've been keeping batches of 2-3 different strains and mix it up depending on what I'm feeling like.

Kava goes bad when it listens to Marilyn Manson.
