Random DIY mixing and More

[PJReid]

I’ve about finished the stragglers from last month. I must have mixed more than usual. Ready to get to the new bottles and mix for next month.
Is it possible to be coconut blind? I made a coconut ice cream recipe, small tester as I was pretty sure I wasn’t going to like it. (I wanted to try, I said the same thing about cheesecake, and we know how that turned out!) It has coconut candy and coconut in it. I taste none. Which may not be bad, since it’s an unknown vape flavor to me. People have such strong feelings about it, I was surprised it has zero taste.

Which brand of coconut flavoring did you use? Some are MUCH better than others, IMHO.

yo. novice mixer here. i seem to be having trouble with flavorah toasted butterscotch. mix it low, can't taste it, mix it high, tastes chemically. mixed by itself at 5%, no butterscotch at all. is it old or just crap to begin with?

Just looked it up... seems that 3% is the practical limit (they mentioned a "cardboard" taste) They suggest adding a cream to it... hope that helps.
P.S. put the @ before my name so I know you mentioned me

I thought they were stool sample bottles.

Lol! Nope, just regular old test tubes

It’s not so strange. I have 3-4 flavors I can’t taste and I’ve tried several brands.

We are doing a business continuation and response plan at work so we can all work from home if our business shuts down for Coronavirus. I had to setup a vpn to get into an important program that I run from work servers. It’s very important my job gets done. Not sure what they’ll do if I get the virus and am hospitalized since I have no backup. I was clueless with very minimal instructions on how to do this. My son knew what to do. Thank goodness for Generation Z kids.

Glad you have him to help

I got the mixing done that I needed to do. It’s for a forum person.

So I need a new coil in my litlle MTL tank and wondered "what juice should I use this time?" I just realized my cheesecake has been steeping well over a week so throwing it in (I know... steep it a month but I just couldn't wait)

Of course, I “mis-remembered” what was in it. It’s by Daz Cole.

Caramel (Caramello) (FA) 1.25%
Coconut (Coco, Cocco) (FA) 1%
Vanilla Bean Ice Cream (TPA) 4%

That’s very nice of you.

<Gasp!>.... you’ll come do my mixing for me??
That’s sweet of you to lend someone a hand!

It’s actually a trade. I offered to buy a tank but they wanted me to mix some stuff for them so I did. However, if someone asked, I’d do it for free if they couldn’t or just wanted to try some samples.

Well, your not quite as sweet as they say but I still like you.

He is a good mixer. My personal experience with coconut flavors is somewhat limited but have found that FA Coconut is a realistic and not sweet flavor. It needs another coconut, IMO, to make a well-balanced coconut flavor. That recipe doesn't look like it would give you much coconut flavor so maybe it isn't you. I would use the FA Coconut at 2% and add 1.5% FLV Sweet Coconut or even TFA Coconut Candy at 1% to round out the flavor. I don't think you would get much coconut flavor from 1% of the FA alone.

That’s better than what I get at work so I’ll take it.

Good morning mixers. I got the two bottles of rhubarb custard from chefs yesterday. It was a pretty good deal with the sale. I really need to start digging out the old mixes I have in my cabinet and either start using them or toss them and recover the bottles.

The lazy bottles of Rhubarb Custard tempted me for a minute. Just too easy to mix my own.

Good morning random folks Have you any plans?

Breaking out my 22 since it looks like our country is gonna panic itself out of existence. Good thing I have lots of small game around here that I can live on.
