Random DIY mixing and More

[FranC]

Oh, I finally got the weird mix mixed and put away.

 

[FranC]

INW Shisha Brandy Cocoa mixed with a bit of FA Cappuccino and FA Milk.

I was asking Fran cause she was going to use Fresh Cream with Nanaimo and I wanted to get her input. Your thoughts and ideas are always welcome. After all this whole thing was your idea in the first place.

I'm going to push Nanaimo bars to either 3.5% or 4%. I want its creamy chocolate and whatever bakery note it has to pop. 1.5% fresh cream sounds good to me. And then FA Cappuccino.

You do have FA Cappuccino right?

Maybe some SSA or FA Tiramisu to add some complexity.

Which tiramisu do you have?

I have Yaeliq Tiramisu. It tastes exactly like a really good real world Tiramisu.

I'm not a politician and never want to be. But if I was, I would be smacking up the existing nincompoops who can't ever seem to get their poop together. Besides, I don't do suits'n ties. I'd be in worn out jeans, tees, backwards baseball cap and my hiking boots... and vapin' up a good cloud with a cup of coffee (naturally). I would swing a mean gavel too, whoever gets hit, oh well... collateral damage! They would kick me outta them chambers, and real quick.

BTW, I just bought a loaf of bread and it was $2.68 at WallyMart.

Good to know you have FA Fresh Cream.

I LOVE IT ........BWAHAAAAAAAAA.

 

[FranC]

Now I have a pudding to mix.

It has enough of a bakery note to it?

Really interested it what it brings to push it that high.

Only thing I'm leery of with going 2.5% nanaimo is that at 1% FA cappuccino might overpower the nanaimo. I'd like for all the things nanaimo brings to stand up well to the coffee. That is my reasoning behind thinking of going higher. I could go lower with cappuccino but Butch seems to like stronger coffee vapes.

You used cappuccino at 1% in your coffee cake and also have 4% worth of cakes. That's where my initial idea of going 3.5%-4% nanaimo came from. Nanaimo might work fine at even 3%. WF does say Nanaimo is a SC, so there is that too.

I have a note from somewhere (don't remember where) that says nanaimo as a main note 2%-3% and standalone 3%-5%. WF recommends 1%-4%.

Nothing is set in stone yet. At this point I'm still tossin' the %'s at the wall to see what sticks.

In my squonk bottle I ended up with about 3:1 nanaimo to cappuccino. The cappuccino was still front and center. And my cappuccino was at 0.75%.

Hey @Butch, quick question, in Fran's Coffee cake did you up the FA cappuccino at all? Or did you stay at 1%?

116 here in Vegas, don't dare go outside. Hotter tomorrow.

@hittman, they were just talking about the chip shortage on TV hitting auto makers. They may have to make cars without them and add them later.

I did ...........let me check............1% .........

I really thought I had upped it but if so I forgot to make the notes.

It has enough of a bakery note to it?

Thanks. You and Fran are helping me to better think this through.

Nanaimo has a "hint" of a bakery note. That "hint" likely won't be strong enough on its own.

Fran used 1% FLV Pound cake and 3% FW White Cake in her coffee cake.

I am thinking of adding some FW white cake for a stronger bakery note. White cake would help. I could also go with 1% pound cake and 2% white cake. And then use 3% nanaimo. Butch has those cake flavors. I'm trying to use flavors he already has.

Thoughts, Mel, Fran???

I read something where the government is offering incentives to US chip makers to try to make us more self reliant.

The Nanaimo bars are some kind of pastry itself. I don’t know if I’d add more than 3-4% more pastry.

Or was it Fran's Irish Cream Coffee that you upped the coffee?

I seem to recall one of your posts where you upped the coffee. Just don't recall which recipe.

Thanks.

So perhaps, like 2.5% white cake? About right? Or even just 2%?

SMT, I’m close to positive Butch posted he raised the % in the cake too.

 

[FranC]

My 4% was successful so I’d say anything up to that.

 

[FranC]

A pudding with Mango and Passionfruit sounds tasty to me.

As I have stated in this tread before, I have just enough experience at mixing vape flavors that I might ( I said might ) be trusted not to start a nuclear holocaust .......... Advice freely given but use it at your own risk .........

 

[FranC]

Well, that’s also assuming you won’t increase the Nanaimo.
