Random DIY mixing and More

[ShowMeTwice]

Anybody up for some rough recipe ideas? Coming up blank this morning/afternoon.

I've been thinking about doing something using FA graham cracker, a cake flavor and a couple creams for a new base. Maybe FA Custard Extra 1 instead of one of the creams. Still thinking.

The plan is to then to use that with perhaps a fruit or two.

Or instead of fruit going with chocolate(s). And/or one of several nut flavors.

Once the base is set any of those ideas will work for different mixes.

I mixed the Apollo last night with some creamy custard base.

What percent Apollo did you use w/CCB?

I've had some mixes sit in my cabinet so long that they turn black in color. I got a little overzealous early on mixing larger bottles of mixes that I never went back and finished. I had to dump some.

I mixed the Apollo last night with some creamy custard base. I would think it would be ready to try in a few days. I was thinking that if I'm going to try these fruits with CCB then I better get a bigger bottle mixed to steep.

I like to test my flavors with it too. Also I like mixing with it so I'm always filling my bigger bottle.

LOL. Last thing I need is another base. However, you gave me an idea. My new fruit base is very creamy. I need to add some different fruits with that.

I managed to come up with some ideas that need a lot of work but that's ok. Once on paper it gets easier.

If you get that worked out with the FW Graham then let me know. For some reason I bought a 30ml bottle of it and could use a good excuse to use some of it up.

What percent Apollo did you use w/CCB?

I went with 3%. Do you think that's too high?

I use 1%

 

[hittman]

I use 1%

Well, then 3 should give me a really good idea of the flavor. Either that or it will taste horrible.

Be interesting at least.

Nevermind. I was thinking of something else. Your 3% is good.

 

[ShowMeTwice]

I went with 3%. Do you think that's too high?

I use it at 1%. For my tastes, I won't use Apollo over that.

Is 3% too high? IDK, could be, yes, no, maybe... you might like it.

@hittman, FWIW I copied this from Liam Davey's notes on VTA Apollo Feijoa. He tested it at 2%, diluted in 70/30, 0 nicotine.

As a main flavour at 3%-5%, a background at 2%-3%, accent at 1%-2% and standalone at 5%-7%.

VTA recommends 3%-5% in a mix and 5%-10% standalone.

3% should be fine.

Can I see Oats and cream cookie, cranberry cookie and Hazelnut cream.

Oats and cream cookie is a single flavor-sc-wf @3.5%.
Hazelnut cream is also a single flavor-wf-3%.
cranberry cookie-cranberry tfa 2.5%-fresh cream fa 1%-cookie fa 1.5%
