Oooo! I shall be trying that one
I tried a few times to get my hands on some of this Bourbon Vanilla Custard
But Camelot stopped EU shipping because some mis-informed Belgian customs bod seized someones order.

I'm waiting for an istick Trim to arrive (Red would you believe!) marked dispatched on 8th, but only just showing as on it's way to the UK on tracking.
The 80W istick Power looks neat too.
Typical! With luck, the new one at Chefs EJM will be a good one.Oooo! I shall be trying that one

There's a few I want to try: Blueberry Catalana, Paradise Cream, and I hear Hazelpotamus is very good (Lewis made some and is using it). Cassiopeia sounds good, but I may want to add some cream to it.
Yep,spotted that ,sounds nice.
It does say pomegranate cream,so should be what you like.
Yes, especially with the blackcurrant and raspberry! I do have a fairly simple cream vanilla recipe using a decent custard and Devon Cream - should be nice with that. (I find fruit alone gets tiresome after a time). Vanilla Ice Cream would probably go well with it too. If I make 100ml of a cream type - or more, then I can mix it with anything.
The hibiscus in it reminded me of the Beard one.
The Hazelpotamus may be similar the the Kilo White one that I liked.
I've just ordered the Bourbon custard and the Cassiopeia(for the very reason you mention,reminded me of the Beard one).
"No discount on these products",Boooo!

No, no discount. Still, they aren't terribly expensiveI've just ordered the Bourbon custard and the Cassiopeia(for the very reason you mention,reminded me of the Beard one).

No, not bad Trish,i'm just being tight. In fact,it's the postage i begrudge.
I've seen a few deals on shortfills lately,can't bring myself to buy them.I'm happy with what i'm making.
And a few juice makers are moaning they may have to close,since the big take off of DIY.
Natural to save money where possible!
(We just had a £20 month increase in council tax, and an extra chunk to pay for gas, rather than have the DD go up - savings/discounts are welcome anywhere).I think we've found the one shot concentrates a great advantage to what we were expecting. I have a 100ml glass lab cylinder, add the appropriate amount of concentrate and fill it up with 3mg base ...easy
Some of those tobacco ones in the EJM new range sound very nice - but I really don't like the taste of tobacco now.
I'm going to try making a smaller bottle of the Chefs brand Old Fashioned rice pudding ...a drop tastes very good.
Still waiting for the new Jam Roly Poly to be in stock.
We've just suffered an increase.
And to top it off they want £30 pa to collect the brown garden waste wheelie bins (well 9 months,as they don't empty dec/jan/feb).They say they have no legal obligation to provide the service for free.
So for our three they want £90,ain't paying it.There has been local out cry.
They refuse to take the bins back,saying we have to store them and keep them safe and tell us in the same breath they are council property and we will be billed for them if we dispose of them.
I went down to the local skips on Saturday and the plastic recycling skip was full of brown wheelie bins
Locals showing what they think of that.
A long, long time ago I had a prototype of the Mako and then got a Megalodon. I enjoyed them but much prefer regulated mods these days.
We have garden waste I think May to October. They used to give us clear plastic sacks on a roll, but we have to provide our own sacks now. They collect it on alternate weeks, with the recycling collected in between every two weeks, but all year around.
That doesn't sound completely legal - they lumber you with bins you don't want to pay for collections from, but refuse to come and take them back? I reckon they may have a hard time collecting the money for any that get disposed of!They refuse to take the bins back,saying we have to store them and keep them safe and tell us in the same breath they are council property and we will be billed for them if we dispose of them.

Would be funny for everyone to collectively leave them in front of the council offices!

Councils can be "funny" like that. Ours simply refused to take our garden waste - our lane is "too narrow". Our recycling had to go in a tiny box. We wrangled with them for over a year, and now we are "allowed" to take them to a different road for collection every other week . "Them" are recycling and garden waste bins which the Council provided. We had to pay £30 delivery charge for each bin. I'd say £60 was quite dear for "delivery".
General refuse is collected from outside the house, but you don't get a bin for that. They give you a roll of bin bags - "health and safety" means they will only collect bin bags. Every other week.
Their "too narrow" mantra also means that the lane doesn't get gritted or cleared of snow in the winter. The residents have to do it.
It's amazing all the wonderful benefits you get for paying band F council tax!

When we moved here, there was open countryside and farms just 50 yards away, with a couple of miles of original country lanes running through ...but the house building didn't stop. The land owners kept buying, waiting until prices rose, selling to developers, and the council passing plans for houses. The roads, shops, schools, all came later - traffic tailbacks past our road every morning and afternoon for some years,because there was only one road into town, and to get to schools.
The few houses and remaining farmhouse down those lanes still did get their refuse collections, but as far as I know, they're totally traffic free now.
So stupid - and selfish - for local councils to keep on building when the infrastructure hasn't even hit the planners desk.
They installed the new high efficiency street lights last year - very cold light, but effective. They said it would save money ...yes, especially when we're paying for them!
Why should you have to take your refuse anywhere - especially recycling, which the council will be paid for. Paying for the bins is something else that is supposed to be included in the council taxes under the refuse collection heading.
One of our sons had his wheelie bin split by the side arms on the collection vehicle, yet they denied that it was them, and told him he'd need to pay £25 for a new one. He wound some gaffer tape around it!
We're in band F too, and it's such a chunk to pay each month - the largest outlay we have by a considerable way. Apart from the amount that goes for the police and fire services, it makes for very expensive refuse collections as far as we're concerned!
Of course they're still building houses ...more council tax to collect! I think I'm becoming a cynic!
Looks like we are all in band F then.
Would our properties bring those values on todays market,who knows.
But the council can charge more that way, even if they wouldn't.
Just on my last tank of Solimero until i make some more, think it will be the Blue Lush next
Mixed a second 100ml of Blue Lush on the 15th,the first bottle seemed to go very quickly
Yeah i`m the same with a couple George, i fly through Lews Brew & SolimeroMixed a second 100ml of Blue Lush on the 15th,the first bottle seemed to go very quickly
Yes, I won't be volunteering to have our house revalued for council tax purposes! It's been years since it equalled what band F states. When we moved here in '93, we were in band E. Not quite sure when they sneakily changed it to F though.
I keep getting through Claire's Ambrosia quickly, but realised only this week that I need to leave it alone for a while at least - it's giving me a cough and pretty poor breathing!Mixed a second 100ml of Blue Lush on the 15th,the first bottle seemed to go very quickly
I've been using Nice and MCV all day, and already slightly better. Perhaps a few weeks will see me breathing a lot better ...we'll see.
I'll make some Doughnut King and a few others to use instead. ...not that I'm short of ready to use liquid though
My fave at the moment is Rejuiced.com. All their 10ml shots are 70/30 and big mamas custard is quite nice.
