Random DIY mixing and More

[FranC]

I would use that 30ml bottle of Italian Cream and just add the other flavors you want to mix in with that. easy peasy(assuming you want a finished product around 30mi-ish.

Well gee,that's almost too easy but I'd have to do at least 2 bottles,maybe 3 if I want to try a few mixes with it without the long wait. I only mix in glass but I may have to break out the baggie of new plastic 30ml bottles I've had forever.

you can always split the 30ml down to 3 10ml testers Fran.

Then I would try what @NatashaTMT suggested. I would split the already mixed 30 ml IC into 3 10ml
bottles then add all of the rest of the ingredients plus .02ml of IC. Your pg/vg levels would be for 20ml instead of 30ml.

Yes.Always an option if I want to do smaller mixes

Then I would try what @NatashaTMT suggested. I would split the already mixed 30 ml IC into 3 10ml
bottles then add all of the rest of the ingredients plus 2% of IC. Your pg/vg levels would be for 20ml instead of 30ml.

That confuses me. I like your simple idea better.

 

[FranC]

I mixed two 30ml bottles and put them in the long haul drawer. I already have 2 complete mixes with the cream in there also. If I keep ahead of it I've only have to do the long wait once.

Fran, the math for the additional IC would be based on 20ml bottle since you already have 10 ml of finished ingredient mixed @ 1%

I'm just not getting it. I don't have any finished ingredient yet.

 

[FranC]

I'm a math dummy..........

 

[FranC]

Ok,thought about it and I kinda get it.BUT I don't have 10 ml mixes of the cream,I did 30ml mixes. I also don't really want to make 20ml recipes,would prefer 30ml.

No, it’s just too early to Math.

I gave up when I retired. Too many years of stoichiometry to even want to attempt mathing these days. I go for simple and heavy reliance on my calculator, and vague estimating

So totally disagree with this statement.....

Ok....forgive me but lets walk you through it.

You have a 10 ml of mixed ready to go IC. You want to make 30ml of a recipe and use that 10ml so in order to finish filling that 30ml bottle you would say

30ml bottle minus the 10ml(already in there) =20 ml.

To keep the IC @ 1% in a 30 ml bottle, only add IC to finish mixing to 30ml, so you want to add .02ml of IC along with the rest of your recipe ingredients (for a 30ml mix)to your new recipe.

I know clear as mud, right?

See above post.....You are not making 20 ml finished product. When finished you will have 30ml bottles with the correct % that you want.

OK that makes sense now but wouldn't it be easier just to add flavor to a ready 30ml of the cream?

Yes, but you were saying you wanted to use it in more than 1 recipe. If you split the IC between bottles then you have enough to do that.

Good point.My 2 30ml bottles would do 6 mixes. Finally got that though my head...........

 

[FranC]

After all this trouble it will be a real PITA if I don't like the cream.......LOL.

Here is to hoping that 'seed' steeping really works.

(seed steeping is when you have an ingredient already matured, and add something to it. It is said to speed up aging the new ingredients)..YMMV
LOL
