Must be a strong bad smell.Nothing wrong with doing that. I usually don't smell my flavors either, but this one was just so strong that when I took the cap off(I WAS going to mix it) it hit me in the face. LOL
I'm thinking I probably wouldn't mix something that smelled that bad to me.YA---nodding my head up and down........really strong and horrid.......imo
This is Dave Bellows' (ID10-T) original recipe. It is delicious but even he agrees my changes are improvements if minor ones. Either is delicious!

FA Jamaican Special (Jamaican Rum) 1%
FA Lime Tahiti (Distilled) .25%
INW Pineapple 3%

So the RF sugar plum is going back in the box, it has either faded or is not steeped; mixed at 3% as a guess due to there being little info about it. If it's still so pale next weekend I'll make another sf at 5% and taste off the shake. I don't like to taste anything off the shake.
Is it the vg version? Or the super concentrate? If vg version it needs the steep. The few vg versions I have tried from RF always seemed kind of weak to me. Especially the grape, which has a really great flavor but took 15% and a long steep.
TFA is the best Blackberry flavoring, IMO. FA is good but when they get it wrong, they get it very, very wrong. Pineapple and Blackberry are two that come to mind.
You could try another coconut to help boost the jungle one you have. You could try TPA coconut extra or even TFA coconut candy(less steep time and not real sweet on its own) Coconut extra needs a steep tho.
I don’t have TPA Coconut Extra but regular TPA Coconut and Inwera Coconut.
I haven't tried the INW coconut so I don't know its taste. Maybe @PJReid can help with that one. If not maybe you can up the % of the coconut you already have in the mix. I would start small tho.
Ok I think that’s what I’ll do. Maybe 2% more.
You can use the TFA coconut...I am sorry, I didn't remember what you had in it already and thought it was the TFA(memory is shot). TFA coconut is good but start maybe @1%. Remember you can always add but its hard to get it out once its in there.

IIRC both the TFA coconut and TFA coconut candy don't require long steeps. Maybe a day or three.

I was just reading the flavor notes again for the TFA Coconut and I think that’s exactly what I’ll do.
I also didn’t realize how long Coconut needed to steep for. This is my first foray into coconuts.
Thanks again.
RF(SC). Mixed it the 13th and plums are known for fading like some citruses. But then there are several RF(SC) that you have to go higher than usual for a SC.Is it the vg version? Or the super concentrate? If vg version it needs the steep. The few vg versions I have tried from RF always seemed kind of weak to me. Especially the grape, which has a really great flavor but took 15% and a long steep.
The RF I have previously mentioned is not tart, but not overly sweet either(to me). I am afraid that you would think it was too sweet because it does have some sweetness to it. Sorry I don't know of any tart grapes.
eta except for wine, which you already have.
