Experiment: Steeping the juices like yogurt incubation

[Chinook]

I just started an experiment for steeping juice. I got my halo tobacco sampler set three days ago and most of them smell very sweet by just sniffing the open bottles.

Here's what I'm doing:

1) Put the juice bottles in 2 ziploc bags (1st bag in the 2ndbag, air squeezed out)
2) Put warm water 105-110F in a large glass bowl
3) Submerge the ziploc bag contaption in the big bowl by putting a smaller glass bowl over it
4) Heat the oven at 350 F for 1 min
5) TURN OFF the oven
6) Put the big glass bowl with the ziploc contraption in the oven
7) Make sure that the oven is OFF
8) Turn on the the oven light
9) Every four hours: take out the stuff from the oven, open each juice bottle and sniff them. Repeat 1) - 9)


The oven light is supposed to be keep the oven around 90F or so as long as the door is closed.

I'm hoping that more complex flavors will develop relatively fast. I might even do a 24 hrs cycle.

Well, my experiment is not very successful....Most of the juices still smell pretty sweet. The midnight apple vapes pretty well but it was before this steeping test. I tried torque 56 and I'm not getting much complexity at all except a lot of throat hit. I'll let them steep by themselves for the next 3-4 days and revisit them.
