Random DIY mixing and More

I have a strange desire to try a custard mix. I do have the FA premium.Custards are not up my alley at all so I need help and much guidance. @NolaMel @ShowMeTwice

Maybe look up 5star custard or Nick evans had one but I forgot what it’s called

You prefer a not eggy, lower vanilla custard? I just mixed a new one of TOC’s.

The 2 ic + custard prem is weak. I’m going to double the SSAs, and up the prem by .5. Then, back in the box for a week.

So what are your new numbers.

I actually don’t know but I’ll look at TOC’s.

Or Grants Custard. I like this one…

And have this one on my mix list

I didn’t care for the look of Nicks and didn’t see the other. I’m just looking for something simple.

Butch is absent with eye troubles.

SMT is absent because ? Maybe he's busy

Skeebo is absent and I feel so sorry for him and his wife.

Don't wish to sound insensitive but what happened with Skeebo's wife? Hope she is ok.

She’s definitely the custard queen!

This is the latest one…

So what are your new numbers.

I mixed both samples the same for SSA… so, I think ic at 1%, ic vanilla at 1.5%. Custard prem was at 1%. I don’t want to push it to far and have it forward.

That first one I posted (Old Skewl) is 3 flavors.

@NolaMel Thank you much. The two little simple recipes interest me most. I’ll give it a shot sometime soon.

Wrote that one down.

Whatever it is it’s not good.

To be accurate I guess you have to adjust for the difference in ml to gram weight. The difference is small though so I guess it's down to how accurate you want to be. I don't worry about accuracy too much, I don't mix by weight but I take several short cuts. Close enough is close enough for me.

Not sure I quite understand. Water will be a 1 gm/ml, but unless needing a little thinning if, say, going for max VG, hardly ever used. I plug values for the other items into the calculator, as they are heavier. If only making a 10 ml batch it might not make much difference, but the larger the quantity mixed, the greater the error becomes. Of course, if mixing by volume or drop, not needed.

The values I use, and have seen posted most, are:
Nic (in PG) 1.035 g/ml
PG 1.038
VG 1.260
Flavorings - in PG - 1.038

Plug those into the calculator and it takes care of it for you.

If your scale did not come with calibration weights, do a search for the weight of your common coins, and use those to check the scale.

Thank you both for the good advice.

I'm now officially a mixer!(well, maybe)
A couple of weeks step time and they should be ready

Plus 2 or 3 bites for me too!

So I should get four concretes from Ted Drewes just to be safe. And a pair of stretchy pants.

The pants are a great idea.
