    Mixing by Weight - Are You ??

    Starting out, I heeded the advice of the elders and made small sample batches of single flavors to determine the individual item's taste. Starting with a base of 50/50-1.2%, I first tried just the plain (unflavored) base. After many attempts to create the "killer" juice mixture, I still go...

    I also own the white (middle) one. It's great for my needs in this DIY world. It has served me well for teh past 9 months. The "calibrate-able" one may be worth the extra $5 - not sure since mine is right-on. Get yourself a roll of new nickles from the bank and you will have a set of...

    You make me proud! The multi colored cabinet is from Walmart. My local store had 4 in stock yesterday. The flashlight (hole cutter) is another Walmart item. I found mine in the hunting & fishing department (about $2.00). Making this hole cutter was my biggest challenge. Good luck, and be...

    Crock Pot Ceramic Broken - Can We Still Use it to Steep?

    Words from a retired electronics tech are HELL NO!!! Water, metal, household electricity can lead quickly to fire or electrocution!!! Go to Goodwill - That's the best place to watch for crock pots, ultrasonic cleaners, and food dehydrators - all are great for steeping. I bought 2 different...

    It is water soluble. I made these last summer and they are still as good today. No stickiness nor degradation. They seem to be more of a silicon than jello... I also was concerned about insects, as in ants. Nope, nary a one! I actually planned to leave a bowl of real Jello out for a few...

    OP- Great job!! Building your own tools puts the "diy" into DIY!!! I built a similar one a while back using a small wooden box and a PC fan, and get a lot of use out of it. Check my blogs for a few simple ideas (tools) that work...

    Ran out of juice and had to...

    Interesting... me too, today! I noticed that I was low on my main juice. Rather than dig out my stuff (including over 300 small bottles of different flavorings and at least a gallon of 50/50 1.2% base), I decided to stop in my local B&M shop. While shooting the breeze, I sampled several of...

    Good link!! Thanks. Looks like that nickle is the best test weight money can buy. Take a few of those, and a roll of new pennies and one can test the balance/scale across it's range with fairly certain accuracy.
