Random DIY mixing and More

[Fidola13]

Those are the ones that I have. I got mine at Jo Ann and used a coupon. I also saw them at Menards.





The recipe called for FA lemon sicily. That's why I asked about fading. I thought about using either the FE or the INW lemon mix instead.




I'm don't have the hangsen either. I'll have to run through my list and see what I do have I've got a couple vanilla icecream flavors and gelato and vanillin. I was wondering why I couldn't just use all TFA graham instead of having to have the FW? Is the FW that much different? I do have CAP graham cracker.

I haven’t used FA Lemon Sicily just CAP so maybe the FA will last longer.

I don't have the FW graham cracker or the holy vanilla. I wonder how big of a deal it would be to sub those two for something else?

Do you have another GC that you can use? I have never subbed Holy Vanilla. It does have its own unique taste as least for me.

I used Dulce de Leche as a swap for Creme Brûlée because I wasn’t sure how much I’d use but I think I’ll add it to my shopping cart.

For myself I find INW Creme Brulee and Dulce De Leche to be two different taste. In addition to using JF Dulce De Leche in recipes that specify it (don’t know what brand you are using) I also use it as a sub TFA Brown Sugar.

I think the only other graham I have is CAP. I just ordered the holy vanilla. This is the third or fourth recipe I've seen it in and have wanted to try.

 

[NotSoMini]

Thank you. I will make adjustments also and I'll get to use some Creme Brulee too

I will be curious to hear your thoughts on FW Graham Cracker once you have tried it.

Possibly raise the CAP GC percent.

I'd just use the Cao or TFA Graham. They're both good.

Those are the same as mine except I got the 64 slot ones. The last time I checked the price increase for them was ridiculous so I bought the 48 ct one as well.

I organize by the My Flavor Stash list on ELR then use a label maker on the cases to mark them tops and sides.

For example- one side of the 1st case would be labeled A thru Dr for Açaí to Dragonfruit. Next side would be marked Du to Ha for Dulce to Harvest Berry and so on. Does that make sense?

So I can just look at the case label and know where the concentrates will be. It somehow works for me. Lol!!!

Oh and I always leave an empty slot here n there to make allowance for any additional concentrate bottles.

I do it differently but everyone does what works for them

I think it will make a difference if you look up the recipe & read the creators notes.

Does most of your flavorings fit in that case? Cos I really don’t want to spend $24 on a case as I’ll need a few a least.

I'll make sure to let you know.

But the creators notes are only his opinion....LOL. Taste is subjective.

Yes up to 30ml.

I agree but if you want to recipe to be the way the creator intended.

The ones at Jo Ann and Menards are 46 slot cases and are only around $12 each.

 

[NolaMel]

Which 30ml bottles won’t fit? The price difference is huge. The thread spool one is $11ish & the nail polish one is $24ish.

With the nail polish one, I can fit 3 10ml bottles in one slot. I think it’s a more efficient use of the case space, which matters as I have to be able to fit it all on a shelf in the closet

That is why I asked HeartsDelight how long a 30ml bottle lasts. I noticed the 10ml sample of LMP I mixed using FA Lemon Sicily was startling to fade. Mind you FA Lemon Sicily is a favorite for me. I have not mixed it again however when I do I will more than likely go with FE Lemon or a combination. Like anything else YMMV.

Good answer — thank you for jumping in. I do not use TFA GC because I cannot taste it. In addition, I have a feeling that FW will be the same for me based on an email response I received from them.

But the creators notes are only his opinion....LOL. Taste is subjective.

Absolutely. That is why I mix 10ml samples when I try a new recipe — there are a few exceptions when I go to 20 or 30mls on the first try. Once I have tried it I can make adjustments. Sometimes I make adjustments initially because I know it is a brand/flavor that I cannot taste.

This is like the stack on cases I have

These are the other ones that bought. They have 46 slots

I generally don't and will change to my liking.

 

[NotSoMini]

I agree but if you want to recipe to be the way the creator intended.

Theoretically you would think this to be so. However for myself I already know there are certain brands/flavors that I cannot taste that ends up muting entire juice flavor for me.
