    Well I didn't do the new mix or try the 2 testers but I did try the 6 mixes. 3 of them I had tried before and put back to steep more. The 2 cucumber mixes are still way to sweet. Giving up on one and have a remix worked out for the other.The Cheesecake mix is still good.

    The other 3 are tobacco blends.
    This one is a winner

    Smoked Bourbon
    FLV Bourbon 1%
    FA Oakwood 2%
    HA Ry3 1.5%
    FA Whiskey 2%

    This one is good but I feel it needs something. Haven't put my finger on it yet.
    Smoky Smoked Plum
    INW Smoked Plum .5%
    INW Plum 3%
    DNB 2 drops
    HA Fortune Strike 5%

    This one is wicked sweet. Put it back to steep but don't hold much hopes. It has to be the Fig.

    Nutty Fig tobacco
    TFA Black Currant 2 drops
    FA Fresh Fig 2%
    HS Ry3 5%
    FA Almond 1%

    For the smoked plum .5% of a raspberry, blueberry, or apricot to give the plums a pop. Might try a drop of bilberry even.

    No. Like the quince jelly, needs more time but if it isn't a fader thinking it will be useful. Going to do small sample mx from an idea I got from ELR. Haven't worked up the recipe yet but will use dragon fruit-pineapple-lime-quince jelly. Should be tart and juicy.

    Sounds good.

    I put .5% DNB in a different mix and it tasted wicked strong. The mix hasn't steeped 30 days yet so that could very well change. I'm still new with the DNB so i really have to wait on steeping to get a better idea on the amount to use.

    I evidently misread the cranberry recipe with the FE lemon. I thought it said 2.5% and it was .25%. It tastes pretty funky with too much lemon. I’ll probably dump it and start over.
    Probably the best idea.

    Those are all 30ml mixes.

    Everyting else was in %, so I wasn't sure if they were testers or liters :)

    The 60ml of Smokey Amber Plum may come in handy, the Zeus with the staggered fused clapton really drinks the juice.

    Cucumber wine? I'll really wish I grew mint if I make this. I was wondering about backsweetening if the yeast eating all the sweetness removes the flavor, but I have plenty of cucumber flavoring I could add.

    Well, that's sad looks perfect View attachment 755859
    If you only put 5-10ml bottles in the center few inches it might work well for you. Go back and read the reviews and questions, I just took a quick scan. Love the idea but think wood would be a better/sturdier option. I still want to have someone make me a few of these...

    Tomorrow when my mind isn’t bleary from travel ( and a 5 hour nostalgia tour of every place in western Ky my 83yo mom wanted to revisit), it’ll come to me exactly what they are. Check a scientific supply house/catalog. They use them in biology?/ lab? settings. Shouldn’t be very expensive.
