When I lose a few more degrees outside I will open the windowIt's 72° inside. The AC remains off. I turned on the ceiling fans. Everyone is happy now.
I got 50ml of Haunted mixed this morning and mixed 30ml of FolkArt’s Fantasia. It’s a grape soda recipe I saw on ATF that sounded good. It’s been a while since I’ve used any grape flavors.
I hope it’s good. I have struggled in the past finding a grape recipe that I like. I bought a bunch of different grape flavors.
Afternoon, mixers. I had a pretty good day at work. I got home around 2pm, fixed something to eat then called dd. After that, I promptly fell asleep. We had a high of 85 and it is currently raining. I'm glad the rain held off until after I got off work. Tomorrow is supposed to be like today. High of 85 and rain. I'm hoping work tomorrow is like today. Here's hoping for a nice holiday weekend for all you random people. 
At one time I think I bought every apple flavor out there. I learned to never do that again.
Without looking I think I have 3-4 grape flavors. Can you post the recipe?
Hoping you have a good day again tomorrow.Afternoon, mixers. I had a pretty good day at work. I got home around 2pm, fixed something to eat then called dd. After that, I promptly fell asleep.

It was 77 in and out when I opened the window. 75 out right now and it will cool down in the 50’s overnight. Open window will work fine.
I never tried a grape soda vape.
As far as grape flavors go, I really like WF Grape (juice) SC at 1%. I did a 10ml SFT with it. At 1% it is an in your face grape flavor!!! But, it's a pleasant tasting grape flavor with no off-notes. Kind of tastes like Welch's grape juice. As far as sweetness goes, imagine Welch's grape juice dialed back a couple notches. Sweetness is a solid 7.5, bordering an 8 (1 - 10 scale).
I needed to dial back WF GJ's sweetness. So I added 1 drop FA Grape Concord to the 10ml bottle. GC is an ultra concentrate (strong emphasis on ultra). That reigned in the sweetness of WF GJ. It added a very light bitter grape note and it enhanced, or boosted, the overall grape profile. 2 drops would have brought Grape Concord to the front. I did not want that. In a 30ml mix I would add 2 drops FA GC (maybe 3, max).
I then did a 10ml mix using those grapes with one of my ice cream bases. Simple 4 flavor mix. Pretty sure I never posted the recipe. There wasn't an "ECF posted" next to the recipe in my notebook. My notes say it was tasty and would make again.
Grape Ice Cream
WF Grape (Juice) SC 1%
FA Grape Concord 1 drop (10ml) to 3 drops (30ml).
SSA Ice Cream 2.5%
SSA Ice Cream Vanilla 1%
Steep time = 4 weeks / it's good after 3, but came to life at 4
@Zazie can you please add this to your blog? TIA

For blog purposes, would you mind adding the name (i.e., Fantasia) somewhere in your post of this recipe? I would be grateful.
Goodnight Fran. I finally got the new controller installed on my pellet grill. I’ve had it since winter but the grill was still working with the phone app but the display was blank on the grill. I got the controller replaced ok but it didn’t want to connect to the app. Turns out that the old app didn’t work any more and had to install a new one and then had to let it update the grill. Anyway, it’s working now and I’m going to smoke some ribs tomorrow.
Just visited the new All the Flavors for the first time. I had completely forgotten that it was changing, so it came as a surprise.
