It will need help anyway. We could start working on it if you wantIt sounded good to me too, but guess which flavor I don't have yet -- yup, mascarpone
Are you done yet?
It will be awhile before I get to make an attempt so if it appeals to you, go for it!
Back in the early days of DIY I heard of peeps actually using the concentrated lemon that you can get in the grocery store. You know, the kind that is in that little plastic container that looks like a lemon itself. Not tried it myself but just an FYI.
I’ve actually used it in a Lemonade last summer in a recipe by Bill W. Seemed to work fine.
Did I miss the ecx sale??
Yummy!!

Yaaay!! Thanks
No worries, by summer maybe? Life is busy for me so I don't have my act together for a flavor order so it will be awhile for me too!
Started my morning clearing 3" of snow from the driveway. DH is on the disabled list, still not allowed to push/pull/lift after his bypass. Counting down to his 3 month follow-up appt with the doc at the end of the month to see how much he can resume. It's hard to keep him from misbehaving.
Made it to work, 5 min. later than usual, not too bad. Now to deal with our CPA on business taxes. Ugh.
OK, hi.
On the "More" side of the equation...
Don't people buy GALLONS of USP VG on the cheap? Is it any good?
Like at various supply stores or pharmacies.... I'm paying way too much for shipping for small "jugs". They last a while, but sheesh, I can pay more for shipping than the VG. Has to be USP though.
I buy it by the VG by the liter or maybe it’s the gallon. Ok just checked - i get it by the liter. I don’t buy has much pg since I don’t use as much of it as I do the VG.
I respectfully disagree. USP refers to a single "pharma-grade" standard(because drugs sold in pharmacies need to comply to that plus FDA GMP guidelines, so hence the term "pharma-grade ), and then there's the FCC(food chemical codex), both under FDA audit. Actually, USP has overtaken the role of publicing the FCC, so it can also be written as USP-FCC, but not just as USP. Theres monographs for glycerol in both these compendias, but I have read that they are generaly comparable for this product(glycerol or glycerin). I have had USP glycerin taste bad too btw.

That is fine. We each can have our views and I don't wish to start a non ending debate over this subject that already has been debated ad nauseam over the years. Anyone who is concerned enough can research the data and decide for themselves, tho most of us buying pg/vg from a reliable reputable place and know its it is USP pharma are completely satisified as to its purity. Buying from tractor supply which provides pg for animals may or may not be in question.....Decide for yourself.
see post following this one.

Just an FYI. A quick search for safe for human consumption no longer exists and newer classifications are being merged and updated frequently. It uses USP for all human consumables that meet the purity standards. Glad they cleared that up.That is fine.

I had done a quick two flavor mix with flv vanilla pudding and blood orange(I don't remember the brand right now). I got it out yesterday to try. The blood orange pretty much completely over powered the pudding. I might try again and cut the orange in half.
There's only one monograph in the USP for glycerin called glycerol, which demand 99 or 99,5% purity of glycerol in the glycerin. So USP purity is USP purity, period, and then there's the FCC too, e.g. also for glycerol.
What I think you're talking about, is that a manufacturer can list in the COA or MSDS a specific use case or several, and e.g. tractor supply I believe only sells PG, but it is listed as USP, meaning a minimum very high purity, but they sell it as for horses or caddle or something.
I've read alot of COAs and found the exact same USP VG sold in different shops for different things e.g horses in one and vaping in another and food in third, so am sure the manufacturer sells for all the different functions it facilitates. Why wouldn't they. Just like many COAs state for both food, tobacco, cosmetics, medicine etc. In the end, the purity and other tests is what matters IMHO.
I just read someone ask a specific horse store why they specify horses for there glycerin, and where they then stated all the different uses for glycerin, but explained that there premiere focus was horses, as being a horse shop, obviously.
Sorry for being argumentive and I'll shut up now. Btw, in tractor supply USP PG they list it is higher grade than food grade, but of course just there word on it.
I of course agree in buying best possible quality for the price, e.g. if I where in the states, then get musim mas from nicotine River or EDs palm VG, which I think is musim mas as they sell big drums VG also which they list as being musim mas, which is 99,9% or close in glycerol content and good taste.
EDIT: I apologise, I misinterpreted your last post and thought you didn't agree with me, so sorry for being a little slow
