Random DIY mixing and More

What % did you use?

I thinking in terms of drops not mls.

I used it in my Strawberry rhubarb Cheesecake at 3%

 

[FranC]

Drops? No wonder it took over my mix at 3%.

If 1ml is too much, how many drops do you think per 30ml?

5 drops is probably all I would go. In a 30 ml bottle that is 0.5% or .15 ml approx
Or if you want lower say 0.25% then 2 drops approx 0.08 ml

AT least it is a good place to start and can always up it from there.

I had done a sft @ 3 % and had to throw it out, it was that strong. Have not been back to visit it to date.

Well,wow. I guess I'll have to do another mix and start with 5 drops. The stuff is good. It's just a matter of getting the % right.

It appeared in English (for me); using the link you provided.

I just check one concentrate (INW-Am4a); and it looked really high. Usually I see it recommended at 2-4%; and this site is recommending it at 4.69-7.81%. That is a rather significant difference....

Did you look at any others to check %? I’d have to cross reference. Y’all are freaking encyclopedias.( I mean that as an in awe compliment)

Just marked my bottle “Max 0.5%/5 drops”

Agreed. This is one flavor I can see as needing to be more specific to the individual's taste than a general range type.

ymmv

Would really be better if you did a sft starting at a low amt. I can see this flavor as interacting differently with different flavors, but that is just my opinion.

Yes probably. I'm making this my personal project. I like the taste of it. Just need to lessen it to a more proper amount.

I didn't spend much time, but looked through a few of the flavors and they all seemed very high to me also. And then I noticed that the people rating them were very few in number. Did not see 1 flavor with more than 4 rating it.

I do hate to just dump 30ml of juice but I see no other way. I intend to remix my Strawberry rhubarb cheesecake with 5 drops of Marscarpone to start. I will do an sft also I think. I'm on a mission now.

I can see where it would enhance a cheesecake recipe in very small amounts. Let us know what you find out.....my sample reminded me of a cheese I would put on pizza or in lasagna by sprinkling it on lightly.

I may just decide to drop 5 drops in one of the cookies I mixed today. Touch of cheese can't be a bad thing.

Is it that bad? I know I dumped mine but I only mixed a 5ml. Maybe there would be a way to put it in future recipes at small amounts so you don't waste it?

Well the last time I tried it the cheese had still overtaken the mix. In order to get a proper idea I'll let it sit for 30 days or more before I dump it.

Should and do often don’t intersect, evn when I *know* better. My answer was stick it with something I have no faith in and see if it helps. Mixed it with yes we cc, nycc graham and a touch of butter pecan (I saw several reviews where they used it at drops to boost pastry/desserts). I’ll stick it back for ??? to steep. Ideas? If not, I’ll test it in a month

The easiest thing to do for a start is add 5 drops to one of my cookie mixes so I think I'll do that in the morning.

I'd say at least a month.

Maybe it will settle down a bit after steeping. I admit I did not give my sample 30 days and I probably should have.....my bad.
