well. did you know that the original Korean word for what we call “FPJ” is “Green Juice From Heaven”? not kidding. some o.g. knf trivia… My second thought, after “divine microbial medicine” was sometimes sugar makes me feel high…and that green juice can sometimes turn alcoholic if it over ferments in the first stage. but this may not be the case at all. truly, i would have to agree with you (to a degree). I feel great when I drink fpj too (especially diluted in water with a slash of vinegar and LAB.) i once gave a girlfriend of mine some fresh LAB whey and she said after the first sip she felt a rushing feeling of energy and happiness. i think she reeeeaaally needed the microbes and her body knew right away it was a good thing.

sometimes if there isn’t enough sugar present in the fpj plant material it wont make a food vinegar. I find making it from the juice itself gives more consistent results. 1/3 plant juice 2/3 water, a splash of raw vinegar or a vinegar scoby. cover with breathable lid. if you have a well developed scoby it will speed up the process significantly. without adding any vinegar or scoby to inoculate the brew it can take up to 5 months to make vinegar. but you’ll grow your own scoby in the process.

When making knfFuel (FAA) from the original recipe with just fish and brown sugar there is a 3-4 day window when you can “salvage” it if its gone wrong. typically the problem is not enough sugar. within 3-4 days of making it if it smells like bad fish adding more sugar can save it. if it goes longer without enough sugar or gets contaminated with water its not salvageable. the amazing thing is that this simple simple recipe of just fish and sugar is chock full of lactobacillus, which is one of the reasons its stores so well for so long. have faith. the microbes will do the rest.

It’s possible to burn particularly delicate plants, like lettuce, or orchids (which i’ve done!). (soaked the orchids in too strong a solution of maintenance formula and the flowers fell off.) Another theory which i have not tested, is that too much knfFood without enough/any knfCleanser could increase mold pressure because sugar is acidic and needs alkaline vinegar to balance it. hope this helps.

It comes in 55 lbs bags so be ready with a large plastic tote to store it in with a good lid. Obviously you want to keep it DRY. It’ll probably last you 20 years depending on how much soap you’re planning to make.

I’ll just add, Master Cho did not come up with “Maintenance Solution” or ever spoke of it. Drake came up with MS by looking at the common denominators of each of Cho’s formulations. At first we combined food, cleanser and medicine and ran with that for several years. Later Drake noticed knfStructure (WCAP) was also a common denominator in almost all the Cho’s formations, so that was added into MS. In practice I can tell you the knfStructure is vital.

As of right now the foundation membership and knfSupport websites are not integrated and require separate logins/accounts made for them.

I know that Drake is selling hardcopies now of his recipe book. I would try emailing him at drake@pureknf.org to inquire.
