Random DIY mixing and More

[NotSoMini]

I’m getting ready to make the lmp and can’t find my notes ANYwhere. Did someone add FE lemon to it?

The amount of FA Lemon Sicily used in the LMP recipe was less than 1% if I remember correctly. I could have upped the % and instead chose to use JF at a higher percent. I have not tasted it yet as I am giving it a short steep. I generally have up to six set ups going as I do not vape just one flavor until it is gone. This means whatever I mix has to hold up in flavor even if this means increasing the percents. More importantly I am a lemon head

So

is like looking in a mirror?

Hearing that Wizard Labs and Bull City Flavors are so accommodating makes me even more annoyed that ECX wouldn't add two items to an order I had placed only a few hours before.

@dc99, you'll be hearing from me when I want to get my Purilum order together. You may regret your offer.

@FranC, I almost always will bulk an order up to qualify for free shipping. Sometimes foolishly. Oh well, it gives me an excuse to indulge myself in the name of so-called economy.

Never mind helping out. Good thing is NR is 50 for free shipping. BCF is 79 I think

OK,I got the PUR Strawberry Rhubarb Smash,PUR Chocolate Peanut Butter and the NR Strawberry Biscuit. Any good?

The SBRsmash is ok after a long steep. It needs a little help in the tangy part. SB bisquit is pretty good but the bisquit part is kind of lacking. Might be a tad sweet for you Fran. I get SB preserves type SB from it. Believe it or not I havent tried the CPB

I did get the $1000 that was owed me and I'm putting $100 away for any future flavor orders I may have. Someone will have to come out with new flavors to temp me cause I have about everything I want/need. Once I get my orders anyway.

Famous last words!

Thank you much. How long for a steep on the SBRsmash?

 

[hittman]

I didn’t I mixed as is. @NotSoMini replaced the Fa Lemon sicily with FE.

I did too on the mix I did a couple days ago. I used the same percentage but used FE. I am finishing off the last of the one with Sicily so can’t give an opinion yet.

I'm safe til someone comes out with new flavors that look good.

3-4 weeks. At first its SB heavy and this weird off note. After a steep it comes together but I think its missing some of the tartness you get from rhubarb. Might just be me. Could add FLV rhubarb if you have it but its really super strong. One of the few I dilute
I would try it first cause I have weird tastebuds

I do have it. Use it quite often.

Completely forgot about my new Sweet and sour Rhubarb. Also I don't have the FLV Rhubarb,I was thinking of something else.

Let me know which you prefer. I want to take a bottle for my sister next week when I visit them. She likes fruits, so I don’t think this is too far off for her. Need to come up with a couple more solid “just fruit” mixes to add.

 

[NolaMel]

I took the bit of carrot cake with cc icing that didn’t quite work and added rum raisin. Much yummier. Thinking about a touch of pineapple. Would that overwhelm it?

Just a touch should work. Light touch.

Golden pineapple ELR median is 3%... you think 0.5% or 1%?

I used to make a recipe that was equal parts honeydew, peach, and strawberry. It was a copy I came up with of Agnostic Brew’s tribulation.

That sounds good. I’ll make that tomorrow. I usually try and take her at least 6 bottles, plus whatever she filches from my stash . I was thinking maybe something with forest fruit, or harvest berry?

This isn't an "all fruit" recipe; but I find it quite "fruity." It is @Capt.shay's Berry Berry Good:
Berry Berry Good
4% Forest Fruit (FA)
6% Vanilla Bean Ice Cream (TFA)
2% Marshmallow (TFA)
1% Raspberry Sweet (TFA)
0.5% Strawberry Ripe (TFA)

I find the VBIC, and MM, to not be brand-dependent, so sub whatever you like or have on hand. The secondary fruits (RS, and SbR) are there to bring forward those flavors out of the Forest Fruit medley. They can easily be subbed out for any berries one cares to highlight. I have played with misc. blueberry, blackberry, black currant, raspberries, and strawberries. All have worked.

It is quite a versatile recipe, that doesn't need a lot of time to mature... about a week to 10 days usually works for me.

That sounds good! And I <gasp> have ALL the ingredients. Maybe this would ease her into creams. She tried a couple commercial custards and thought they were vile (no surprise there, bargain juices). She loves berries.

TY @IDJoel and @hittman ... peach and berry recipes were exactly what I was hunting

Do you have a preference on which strawberry?
