I just opened my 2nd bottle of my first DIY and the flavor has changed. It lost the caramel and vanilla which the 1st bottle had. Does anyone know what might have happened? I mixed Hangsen RY4, Hangsen T5 and Hangsen Virginia.
Flavor Loss. Any Idea Why?

They actually came from the same larger batch. They have been steeping 2 weeks.
Do you see that number 3 to the right of Blog Entries: below my avatar? Click the 3 and then the Flavoring Levels one.
The others are full of mixing info, but you need the Flavoring Levels one right now. (I'm betting around level 7 things will become clearer.)

Thanks Hoosier. I can always count on you to help me out. I will check it out right now.
OK. This is what happened. I mixed a larger batch of what I made before. I overshot the Hangsen flavor rule of 1 drop/ml because I figured the drop count at 40 instead of 30. I must have had a senior moment even though I am only 47. I didn't figure this out until today when I was reviewing my notes on what I had done. Can this be fixed?
So I can just cut it down to the proper level with unflavored? I know if I use PG it will drop the NIC level but I don't care that much about that. How long does it have to steep once corrected?
You could actually mix an unflavored with your typical nic level and PG/VG ratio and use that.
Steeping should be real quick because of the Seed Steep reaction...maybe a day or two tops, could be no need for steeping at all...

Hoosier, you are always a great help. Thanks again for all your help. God Bless.
Good luck to you. Sounds like you got all the answers now. I'm off to read a Hoosier blog. Thanks.
