Presently, for my strawberries & cream, I use 5.7% DX Bavarian and 4.3% Vanilla Swirl (along with 1.9% CAP Sweet Cream), and the flavor is actually more custardy than creamy. If you wanted less of the custardy flavor, you could probably just reverse those, and use a bit more of the CAP Sweet Cream (which isn't really "sweet"; it tastes like cream).

I got those "odd" percentages because of reducing all flavoring except sweetener in that recipe by roughly 5%, which helps a little with the gunking problem. Originally I used 6% DX Bavarian amd 4.5% Vanilla Swirl, with 2% CAP Sweet Cream.

I like Flavourart Vienna and cream fresh along with vanilla swirl when I want a change from Bavarian cream

    No problem with the drop method if your flavoring keeps coming in the same bottles. If the bottle changes so does the drop volume.

    I save and reuse bottles so I can keep the same volume. I can mix a couple 10ml bottles and they'll last me 1-2 weeks. A few recipes I like better freshly mixed anyway.

    Check out Jo's Juicy Peach in the dropbox. You'll learn that you have to add supporting flavorings like vanilla, cream and sweeteners to all your mixes to bring out the primary flavorings. Single flavorings will NOT WORK in DIY, 99% of the time! Read through this thread, check the blogs, follow other recipes, study their construction, and you'll be making great juice soon enough. The dropbox can be accessed in my signature below. Keep asking questions and good luck! :toast: :D

    That's what I learned from this thread and Bill. The creams and vanillas will turn your good juice into great juice!

    That a lot of AP :)
    Boy am I glad I listened to you on this. Even at half a percent, I still get a distinct "corn nuts" note from it. I can't imagine what it would be like with seven times that much in...

    Yup. That flavoring scares me just a little bit. Like I said before, that stuff is a mean bunny rabbit. It has fangs and things.

    I had some pretty good luck with it this past weekend. Made a very lite on the cinnamon muffin

    Vanilla Cupcake - 8 %
    Acetyl Pyrazine 5% - 1 %
    Cinnamon Danish Swirl (CAP) - 1.5 %
    EM - 1.5%

    I have everything for this but the AP. I'm scared to use that. Haha. Does it add a lot of flavor or do I need it to make this?

    I just used it straight out of the bottle. For what I mixed, it "calmed down" the vanilla cupcake with a "bread like" flavor to give me the muffin I was looking for. Now, to add the cranberry flavor and not end up with "cinnamon olive muffin". The cranberry flavor is the one that scares me. :unsure:

    I do want to try it. I just got in more flavors today. So I think I might pull the trigger on it next order. I'll just be careful and not go crazy with it. :thumbs:

    Very wise unless you like popcorn. :D That's what it smelled like to me when I took the cap off.

    If one is scared to use AP, try Hazelnut or Pecan, both great, imho. I use all three with AP generally only in complex recipes and at 1% or less. Hazelnut and pecan are far more forgiving. Many juices do improved with a little nuttiness, so I wouldn't recommend that we categorically omit the use of nuttiness in our mixes. AP can, in the right situation, really bring the flavoring home. I have perhaps three juices that use the AP, probably the same with hazelnut and pecan. Pecan pie is off the charts dead on and delicious, for example. Hazelnut is very close to the food flavoring, and delicious in complex mixes. I like all three to tell you the truth. One just has to pick their spots carefully. I wouldn't hesitate to do some 100DT's using all three nuts to determine the best combinations. :2c: :toast: :D

    That's good to know. I actually just got in hazelnut today. :thumb:
    As always you give a wealth of information. Thank you, Bill!:)
