Random DIY mixing and More

[FranC]

I do too what are you planning on using it in. I think I bought it when I read it enhanced some other flavors but I can’t remember for the life of me what they were. I’m sure a search through recipes with cucumber concentrated will help.

She has a real cucumbers

So you’re keeping the house but renting it out? That’s a really good idea. Something I’ll probably have to look into as well.

Yes, I am. I would otherwise lose the house because on a bit over $500 SS I can't pay the taxes. It's not all bad cause I'm not really into spending another winter in the sticks alone. With the rent money, I'll actually have a bit of spending money Plus I'm renting to my gd and family so I don't have to worry about the house getting trashed

I'll be leaving today but We'll all be back Saturday to help GD move.

Good morning mixers. Today is the big move day to college for my youngest. I’ll wake her and my wife shortly. I hope it goes better than it did when we took the oldest four years ago.

I thought one of the flavor manufacturers TFA? say not to freeze concentrates? I forgot why- crystal formations or something like that. I could be wrong but I keep all my backup bottles of flavors in the veggie drawers. The ones I use in the organizers I just keep in a dry dark cool space.
But what do I know there’s lots more experience here than what I know !!!

I've never put any flavors in the frig. So folks don't and some folks do.....LOL

I’m planning on a small tester of kiwi cheesecake not sure if that’s what you mean though.

Thinking more of maybe 2-3 recipes to use up some of my mixed base. Trying to come up with something different I haven't already mixed.

 

[FranC]

That’s why I find single flavor testing so important. It may be tedious but how will I know what recipe needs more or less of a particular flavor if i haven’t tasted them individually.

I'm guilty of not doing all of them but I do most.

They put that disagree button right in the middle of the good buttons...
I have thought about organizing a vote to move it.

I think it should be offset all by itself. If you are on a small device like a phone it's too easy to hit the wrong button.

A lot of moving to go on today, Hitt

Good luck getting your daughter settled it. Hope it goes smoothly.

Good morning.

Good morning, Rose Have you any plans today?

Work on my daughter's house is still going on. They tore down the tongue and groove walls in the basement almost a year ago (water damage) and never put them back. They will be doing that next week. When the tree fell it took down a big wall shelf in her office and they still have that to do. They also need to tear up the wood floors downstairs cause they did a crappy job. We'll all be gone for a week in Oct so that's when they are going to do the floors. I was hoping on the floors getting done before my move cause my bedroom is one of those floors. Means I can't really settle in til October. That is a major bummer but I guess it could be worse.

For those that don't already know. A huge tree fell on my daughter's house last year and did major damage. insurance co put a trailer in her yard to live in cause it took months to fix (whole new roof etc). They did a crappy job and now they don't want to deal with my daughter anymore so they're coming back to fix it all.

Is this the same daughter whose house burned down?

A huge tree fell on my daughter's house last year doing a ton of damage. It was my GD's house that burnt.

I'm planning on stocking up for impending doom this fall. I'll be buying probably 10+ 1 liter jugs of nic base and storing it in a freezer. That should be at least 25 years worth. What should I freeze it in, if the original packaging is unacceptable?

I froze all mine in glass bottles.

 

[barkfunklerbunk]

I froze all mine in glass bottles.

Thanks. That's what I had thought, any specific glass? I suppose it wouldn't matter what color, if it was never really exposed to light.

And what sizes? 1 liter glass bottles or is it advisable to split it up?

 

[barkfunklerbunk]

Oh, and hope you are all well, and mixing great stuff. I'm still working on my 100ml Mother's Milk and Lemon Meringue Pie. Both of which are getting better and better. Kind of regretting making 100ml's of each, as it's taking forever for me to vape. I typically vape about 30-60ml per month.

I freeze mine in smaller bottles so you don't have to take out a big one I have a few in 240ml glass and the rest is in 120ml Gets less air in it that way. I also used colored glass, some brown and some blue.
