Could use some math help.

[knotin1]

I have two recipes that I mixed together. One was very good, but was lacking. Another recipe that smelled like a birthday cake, but tasted like crap. I mixed the two together and really enjoying the result. Trying to figure out the math, so I can make another batch from scratch without having to make two batches and mix together.


1)
Hansen Raspberry at 5%
TFA cupcake at 3%
TFA marshmallow at 1%

2)
TFA cupcake at 24% (went way to high I think)
Hangsen vanilla at 5%
Hangsen cream at 5%
TFA marshmallow at 1%

I then mixes 80% of recipe 1 with 20% recipe 2.
What would the recipe look like for the new mix? Better yet, how do I calculate it?

I am thinking just divide all recipes number 2's ingredients by 20%??
And number 1's by 80%??

Here is what i got:
raspberry 4%
cupcake 7.2%
marshmallow 1%
vanilla 1%
cream 1%

Thanks.

Your final percentages are correct. I would have multiplied recipe 1's percentages by .8 (80%) recipe 2's by .2 (20%) and then added the percentages of the flavors that the recipies have in common (the marshmallow and cupcake). Then just enter your new recipes %'s in a juice calculator (I use ejuice Me Up).

Just looked at my notes. It was 95% recipe 1, 5% recipe 2.

Thanks Steve. I used an online percent calculator. Just plugged in 20% of 5% and so fourth. Now that you gave me the math, it will save me from having to use paper and online calculator. The math is easier.

Thanks!

To factor a recipe by a certain percentage, you multiply it by that percentage, divided by 100.

So:

Hansen Raspberry: 5*0.8 = 4%
TFA Cupcake: 3*0.8 + 24*0.2 = 7.2%
TFA Marshmallow: 1*0.8 + 1*0.8 = 1.6%
Hangsen Vanilla: 5*0.2 = 1%
Hangsen Cream: 5*0.2 = 1%

Yes. Do the same thing but multiply recipe 1's ingredients by .95 and recipe's 2 by .05. Good luck!

Thanks again. Now I can make small adjustments on my next batch. Feel like a mad scientist. I have way to many recipes in the works. keep telling myself to concentrate on a handful and perfect them. But then I get an itch, the syringes start sucking, bottles start shaking, sweeteners start dripping and the next thing I know, I have a dozen mixes sitting in the steep box......next to the several dozen already sitting. Ugh!

Your welcome, always happy to help and lol about getting an itch to start mixing. I know the feeling.


Cheers,
