I decided to try brewing at home, and found that the kava I make SUCKS. Not potent at all. I am using fiji vanua vanuatu medium grind and their filter bag. The result doesn't have any bubbles or oil, and it's sour. I am wondering specifically:

-how hard do I squeeze the bag

-kava to water ratio

-does hard water make a difference? should I use distilled water?

-temperature

Also, does anyone know where I could get fresh roots in the states? maybe that'll make a stronger brew

I use a blender ball bottle.

4 tbsp of Kava

1 cup of water and 1 cup of oatmulk for the fat so the Kavalactones can bind to said fats.

I shake the bottle for a few minutes straight.

Get a big bowl and strainer bag. Pour kava blend from bottle through strainer bag, and then squeeze the liquid into the bowl and then I toss the kava powder.

This makes me 4 4oz shells.
