Untried is......so far.
VTA Love
VTA Chocolate Custard
FLV Grape
VTA Coffee Milk Froth
JF Biscuit

If anyone has a personal opinion of any of those I’d like to hear.
I’ve got those last two untried as well. VTA love I like, it’s a creamy white chocolate. I mixed it with raspberry, very tasty.

    I see 2 problems with my 8 flavors.
    1.I only have one fruit.
    2. Too many sweet flavors

    I may have to use one of my tart fruits to deal with sweetness. Açaí or Rhubarb.

    In keeping with the challenge I will use the Açaí I haven’t tried.

    Somewhere between here and there
    I have evidently been a bad boy. I went through my list and have about 50 flavors so far. I’ve got another case list to look at that mostly had 30ml bottles I got from gremlin on their sales. Thank goodness I just did sft on several flavors this past weekend. I had forgotten that I bought several RF flavors on clearance and never tried them. I shouldn’t have any problems using new flavors only in my recipes.

    When I first started mixing, it was very common to order 20+ flavors at a time and I didn’t start keeping flavor notes until I started using elr. When using elr and making a new recipe, it gives recommendations on percentages to use. I might just go with that instead of looking up percentages for all those flavors.

    I’ve got the start of four recipes so far. Since I have so many, I’m trying to just use each one once.
    LOL if I had a sweet tooth I’d have it made with these flavors. As it is it will be a little more challenging.

    I went to the liquor store while on the way home today. On the counter, next to the register, there was a bottle of hand sanitizer sitting there, so of course I used it. It wasn't a name brand gel hand sanitizer, must have been made using everclear, I reeked of it.

    I just got a lengthy email from Bulk Apothecary, explaining to customers about the many reasons for the long delays in shipping packages from them (mostly hand sanitizer, but other products, too). As part of that email, they included the quoted info below. It will explain about the sanitizer you likely used at the liquor store and how a bunch of it from now on may smell like that, too.

    "Many states are actually mandating hand sanitizer is supplied to customers and employees before a business can reopen. This has caused global shortages of synthetic alcohol. As a result, the TTB and FDA have issued guidance for manufacturers to use plant-based ethanols in hand sanitizer. This creates a product that has a liquor smell that many customers don’t like. It’s important to note that this is a global issue and almost every hand sanitizer brand in the U.S has been forced to use this new “smelly” alcohol for at least some of their production."

    I feel so badly for Bulk Apothecary. This info was also part of their lengthy email:

    They have a warehouse full of inventory that they just can’t get shipped quickly enough. They're shipping tens of thousands of units each day and just don’t have the labor to ship any faster. They're working with what employees they have left, paying them double pay for each additional shift they want to work, and even hiring as many employees as they can get through temp. agencies...to fulfill the orders they have. Their own costs for components used in many things they make that people are ordering...have gone up in many cases by 225% (for alcohol) - 800% for the pumps on the gallon jugs of hand sanitizer, and buyers are ticked off about that, too. They have truckloads of returned UPS packages to process, that were ordered by businesses that then closed down after Bulk Apothecary shipped their orders to them. They're even getting threats of bodily harm from people wanting them to move their orders to the front of the line as far as fulfillment and many of them posting mean comments about the company on social media websites.

    I've been dealing with BA for more than 5 years, and they're really super nice people who run the company. I hate that this is happening to them. :(
