Edit, y'all: I appreciate all the suggestions, and I can see why you'd be giving them, based on my title! But I was really just laughing w people who would understand. I really don't mind having orange roots and brows for a few days every couple months.

I have been coloring my hair w henna for over 5 years, and still, *every time*, I get the orange panic lol. I *know* it will be fine; it is every time. But this round, I waited waaay longer than normal, so my brows and my 1.5" roots are ON FIRE! The difference between my lengths and my roots is crazy to me, every time.

I have always used The Henna Guys pure lawsonia powder, mixed w distilled water and either put in the fridge overnight or sat on the counter for a few hours. I use henna for the strengthening properties more than the colorb that's just a bonus.

I'm fairly new to messing around w alcoholic fermentation (been lactofermenting veggies for years), and I just love this sub for the laid back way to approach this very basic, ancient concept!

I had some crystallized raw honey (a few cups worth), so I used some warm spring water to get it out of their jars, dumped that into an old vodka bottle and added some ginger bug (maybe a cup?) I had in the fridge, and about 1/4tsp of bread yeast about a week ago. Then I wrapped a chongo around a nitrile glove to keep air out but to allow expansion (so far that hasnt seemed to poof up or anything). I'm super pleased to see all these bubbles, but wondering a few things...

When should I do a taste test? How long(ish) should I expect it to bubble for? What is the alcohol percentage potential here? Any helpful tips would be great.
