The Flavor Apprentice Flavoring Thread

[Simply Red]

I'm on an iPad, click the pencil icon, says I need the Sheets app. Lock icon is in the title bar for that page.

Having the same problem on my iPad. Tried downloading the Google Docs app for iPad, saw no way to import the TFA file.

Will try later with my laptop.

If I can find it.

I put the URL into my browser (Safari), clicked the "pencil", got the "Sheet" app and the spreadsheet was there when I opened the app. Hope that helps.

I will admit, I don't do any single flavors so, I have nothing to add.

Good job on putting that all together.I put a few on there for now,and will do some more as i go through my notes.Most i posted are not single flavor %,but what i use them at in recipes the most,but a few are solo % too.

This was my thought, the % you use them in your recipes.

.......... I will admit, I don't do any single flavors so, I have nothing to add.

But you do. What's your common % used.

No idea, sorry.

I see a couple user entries, so I believe the spreadsheet at least works.

I see it as this communities working sheet for a new flavor. Should we make it just solo %, max %, or average% ? It has started with a clean sheet, is there any value in including the 'old' values while 'not' including the old in the current average?

I've got super thick skin, so speak up if you think it's crap/waste of time, etc. It won't hurt my feelings.

Was anyone else surprised that there are over 300 flavors?

I meant "recipe" wise. In all the recipes I make, I think 3 flavors is the lowest count of flavors I use. Did I say that right??

I think I need more coffee.

Perhaps include "percent used in recipes" in the spreadsheets title?

It does help. When I got the Sheet app and opened it, I saw a long list of documents. I opened one called "vape" which looked similar to the web version of the percent used spreadsheet, but different. The most recently used document in the list was a collection of acronyms?!?

My list wasn't so long but, it's the top one here

No worries. I kept opening and closing the app and retrying the web link in my browser and eventually it worked.

Success!



So, as they say, "It's all good.".

 

[Simply Red]

Wait...(keep in mind, I was on 1/2 of a cup of coffee when I did it this morning) Go back to the web page version, highlight the URL and click "copy", then open Sheets and see if it's there. See if that works. No promiseses.

Perhaps include "percent used in recipes" in the spreadsheets title?

This is how that popular recipes site does them: Avg/Median %'s for single flavor use and %'s used in recipes by site users. This is what I use for my starting percents if trying to make a recipe from scratch.

This site??

Will do, but by doing that when I send out the link, you'll all need to do the 'dot' to '.' trick.

@Simply Red That's the site I use, and I love all those extra stats it shows for each flavor. My only issue with it is they don't remove the 'outliers', such as that maximum quantity of 55%. If you think of a bell curve, those items 2 or 3 sigma should not be used in any calculations, and they should only be looking at the 'meat' of the curve. Mine's pretty much a down and dirty quick look input by current 'sorta dedicated TFA users' with more recent formulations.

Yes, not sure how the mods/admins feel about screen shots of it though since the filter any url's that link to it.

Yes, I just go by the median values usually when trying to find a baseline for a new from scratch recipe.

 

[ShamrockPat]

Spreadsheet 'name' updated with 'in recipes', and the comment within the first couple rows updated as well.

No link change.

I think those screen shots posted are the other google documents YOU have opened or saved.

I see you were able to get it to work.

Eeh. I've been spanked before. Que sara, sara.

Yes, and I didn't have to dig out my laptop.

When I use my laptop, I find myself poking at the screen to make it do stuff. It is not touch screen capable.
