Random DIY mixing and More

[FranC]

I’ll pick you up on the way! NH is on the way there

Yup. Maine's right next door here.

Got my my chefs order in, some new one shots I have not tried and few flavors for recipes I got planned, now just need to make time to mix

I see you have the Rhubarb and Custard, Good stuff

That's good to hear, I was wary about that one, but I do love the real thing, so took a gamble on it

Hope you like it...I do

Hah! These are either off this thread, or from ELR that a)I have all the ingredients for and b) have a very high number of 4/5 star ratings and lots of comments. I’m too frazzled to come up with something on my own right now. I only have a few advs that I created from scratch, if that makes you feel better

Not in the least.

Sometimes I mix(diy) pure losers. Mixed it 4 weeks ago, wasn't worth the wait.

Biscuit-jf-3%
Vanilla Custard-cap-3%
Bavarian Cream-fw-3%
Seemed like a good idea at the time.

Care to divulge what you thought made it a loser?

Glad you found NETs you like

Yes, it's a huge leap. Both Pop's NETs and these Stixx Mixx NETs are getting the job done. It helps that I know my NETs pretty good so I could target what I thought I would like. Pop's NETs (at least four of the six) were in my strike zone. I think he and I have some overlap in our NET preferences. And these Stixx Mixx NETs are in my wheelhouse too. I feel comfortable using them in blends. Now it's just a matter of the non-tobacco flavors and the ratios. Hoping these choco flavors do the trick. I'm fairly confident they ultimately will. Still working on that Banana Cream flavor but it really needs to go with a flue cured NET which I zoned out and forgot to get with my Stixx Mixx order. Oh well, next time.

Definitely report on the one shots. It’s always nice to have a few for when mixing time is short!

Write it down or put it on a wishlist or something.

I would say you're missing your top end

Top end?
Educate me dear lady!

Put what on a wishlist?

 

[Bronze]

Top end?
Educate me dear lady!

She's politely saying you need a valve job.

 

[FranC]

Top end?
Educate me dear lady!

This is just my opinion. You have your base and the cream and custard make your body. Some folks would just like it like that but for me, it's missing a top end or top note like a fruit or maybe a chocolate or a tobacco.

 

[FranC]

Put what on a wishlist?

Flue cured

Flue cured

Oh, yes indeed. The Stixx Mixx wishlist is wiggy and doesn't work. But I have it in my notes. Better than nothing.

 

[Zazie]

One of the jars broke in the canner. A sad loss. I'm left with only five quarts.

I have to mix soon. Doubt if I'll be able to face it tomorrow. I'll probably need a day or two to recover from today's ordeal.

Don't push it. Get your rest first. That's sad that a jar broke.

Hopefully, you will check your notes before the next order.

At least it wasn't nic.

I wont. But I will remember when I place my next Stixx Mixx order.
