So to get back to my mix. Fully steeped (9 weeks) HS IC 1.5% mixed with 3% HS Aus Cream. I'll say one thing. Hangsen makes some interesting non tobacco flavors.I think I'm getting the cheesy tang from the cream but I'm not sure that it's not part of the chocolate flavor. I need to do a sft of the chocolate. It's far from a traditional chocolate tasting flavor.Interesting tasting mix,very different .
Question.This is the first 10% dilution I've ever done. So if I want 1% HS IC in a mix then I use 1% of the dilution for every 10ml? As in 3ml for a 30ml bottle?
Just checked and I already mixed a sft of the HS Aus Chocolate......LOL. Hope to try in tomorrow.
To my way of thinking I have made a 10% dilution and the size of the bottle I used should make no difference?......I can see I'm going to confuse myself. Gotta go think about this.
How long does it take for WF Chocolate Chunks to steep? Today I made 1 10 ml bottle for each tester I started 9 weeks ago and added 3% of the Choc Chunks to each one.
From what I've read 2w for most chocolates but longer is better. Chunks for me really shined around 3-4w.
Well, this sure does show how we each differ in our tastes....LOL
I haven't mixed a chocolate mix in maybe 3 years and from what I remember it took at least a month or longer then. I was hoping for some of the newer ones to not take as long. But it is what it is.
So I will just taste them every few days and take it from there......Thank you both very much.

Honestly, I am leaning towards @Myk's thinking; using a more traditional 10% dilution (0.10mL/mL). It is more highly diluted. And, it is easy to figure the math out, to use at any concentration... just move the decimal point one to the right. If I wanted 1% in a 30mL recipe; the full/undiluted strength would be 0.30mL. Using a 10% dilution; then I would use 3.00mL. easy-peasy.

highly diluted is the phrase that confuses me.....it is an oxymoron.This is part of Joel's post.

Yes,I know. That caught my attention also. It appears the calculation for mixing is simple as I thought. Yippee for that.
I am glad you went looking for past post. I really didn't want to go through all that again. Now to do what I did with the concentrated flavoring for my testers is a different situation, altho it can be confusing also....lol
Let us know how your mix turns out, please.

Been away for football and hunting, get called back to see my name and dilutions and thought the same thing.
I've missed ya,Myk. Glad all is well
Been spending money elsewhere and you all try to make me spend it here
I have a dozen bolts for my crossbow that are about $35 each with the broadheads (not all get broadheads)!
Also trying to focus on using up old liquids. I don't need to be creating more until they're gone. Although the straight Liquid Amber in the Chocolate Raspberry tank was good.
