As Fran said, its a good combo with blueberry. Its like a dark blueberry. It is strong and if you go high enough it will ruin anything its in.dc,
I haven't tried FA bilberry but have read that it should be used in drops sparingly. Don't really know but thought it was worth mentioning. Also I read it can be used to boost blueberry.
Just thought I would throw that out there.
I am sure if I am wrong, someone will tell me.....lol
I think you'll like it. It's Blue berryish but better.Less sweet.I will have to give it a try since bb is a good flavor for me......
I did not. The only one I have, that had a suggested steep time, is the Havana Primed... and that is 2 weeks. I did see one (or more?) with the 1 week recommendation and that is what lead me to do the 72 hour tasting.
The A1 was the only one I saw with a suggested steep time of 1 week. I'm assuming at least a month on the others. Know nothing about the tea one you got.I did not.

There is an "official" Stixx Mixx mixer over on ELR. S/he goes by the user name of Stixx. I keep meaning to check out some of their recipes just to get an idea about aging.
Well it appears I have 2 cheesecakes to mix tomorrow. Looked the recipes over and they look pretty tasty and being cheesecakes I'm gonna go with 30ml mixes.
How do you search for a mixer on ELR? Can't find the function
I found his recipes but ain't seen nothing good yet..............
Just plug the user name in like it was a recipe.
For Stixx, I then needed to "sort" by clicking once on Author. Then click Autor a second time to reverse order (z-a). Stixx then appears, starting about 4th down, on page 2 of the search results.
I'm not as interested in the recipes as is (though it never hurts to get ideas), as much as I wanted to see if they offered any suggested steep times.
I did that much easier but please don't ask how.......But anyway I didn't get any help from Mr Stixx
I didn't see anything usefull. He seems to have a limited supply of Stixx mixes.I'm not as interested in the recipes as is (though it never hurts to get ideas), as much as I wanted to see if they offered any suggested steep times.
I just now found 4, that had suggested steep times attached, and they ranged from 3 days to 2 weeks.
The Apribacco Surprise looked interesting to me... apricot has sounded interesting to me lately. Of course I don't have any; but it is on my list.
I will apply subs (not buying any more tobaccos at this time), and likely rework the custard part (not big on most custards), but it gives me a loose framework to start.
I don't know if it is limited access, or just hasn't worked with them much yet. I don't know who the person is (whether they are an owner, employee, or just an enthusiastic customer). I just know they are linked on the Stixx website (under "Mixing with Stixx"). I guess time will tell.
I agree. They are pretty spendy. And, if they are no better than tried-and-true synthetics (INW, HS, SC) that I already have, I doubt I'll pursue much further. My shopping fever got the better of me...
I pulled out a pile of flavors for tomorrow. I intended to do a pink champagne, but I’ve got a pile of recipes. Which pink champagne is the best to try first?
Currently Bulk A. =$18.52 gallon(8lb) and $12.96 cheapest ship(UPS) to Illinois downstate
FW Pink Champagne is the Queen of Champagnes and I put it in a lot of recipes if I want a perception of fizz.
I have an update for anyone who cares (re: Stixx Mixx):I don't know if it is limited access, or just hasn't worked with them much yet.

After some back and forth emails with (it turned out to be the owner) Ty, at Stixx Mixx; I can confirm that Stixx (on ELR) is Ty himself. So, @FranC, the recipes (or lack thereof) are not due to lack of product.
Further, when I asked him about steep times he replied with the following:
"Hey Joel...the N.E.T.s are pre-steeped, use them as you would any other flavorings. Stand alone they should be fine to mix without steep time, add other flavors, and steep as you would any other mix. I am the owner of Stixx Mixx...my name is Ty."
I am not sure that I entirely believe that; but at least that is the official position. As always... time will tell.
