Looking for help with eggnog

[Falcon13]

Im still very new to dyi. So far I have had a great success with peanut butter and pina colada. been trying to do a good eggnog. so far tried 50/50 pg/vg and a 40pg/60vg ranging from 10% egg nog flavoring (tfa) to 20% and up to 5% EM. granted I have read and do steep my other two I have done a bit but i cant imagine steeping helping out this much. still has almost a rubbery/plastic taste to it.

try garnishing the favor with cinnamon, nutmeg, or pumpkin spice.

 

[happydave]

is this egg nog flavor water soluble?

 

[Falcon13]

hmmm cant seem to find it form TFA anywhere anymore. Maybe I found out why. oh well back to the drawing board might have to look into one from a different company

I only use egg nog as a mixer at about 2%. I like it in custards and vanillas.

Watching this thread. I too just got some tfa eggnog. My first attempt @15% with 3% EM (10%) tasted like a dentist office. It was terrible.

I use cap egg nog by the way. Never played with tfas nog.

If it's missing the 5% Kentucky Bourbon it's never going to taste like eggnog.....

 

[Falcon13]

have to get it to stop tasting like ummm trying to think of something forum acceptable. ill stick with dentist office though that's an understatement. before im going to add in the the good stuff

Blame it on the creamy base of the flavor, they need a longer steep time. I've only used Capella's Eggnog and it's potent at 2% in that vanilla custard recipe. Perhaps y'all are overflavoring?

Cap Eggnog has been good for me at about 10 percent, with some butter rum (5-7 percent) and holiday spice (1 percent) and 1 percent brown sugar/sweetener does great. I haven't mixed it with pumpkin yet... give it time...

I purchased a bottle of Eggnog from MBV several months ago. The first couple of weeks it tasted like vomit. I put it up and forgot about it for about a month and tried it again. I went from bad flavor to almost no flavor. Gave it to a friend and she said it didn't taste bad but not much taste at all. Ended up throwing it away. I think Eggnog, at least from FW, needs a long steep time.
