The Flavor Apprentice Flavoring Thread

[faeriekitsune]

Did some mixing this morning before I ran out the door to work... I wasn't fond of the strawberry starburst, so I redid it with kiwi. Turned out really tasty! Still tweaking the Tahitian Dragon idea, but it's progressing well. And I think one final tweak and I'll have the Cinnapear perfected... at least to make 30mls and see how it changes as it steeps...

I'm hoping to get some serious testing done this weekend... hopefully work won't interfere. I want to work on the five I've got going good at the moment, fix a sixth, test at least four more and play with the RY4 Asian I received from clnire today.

My goal is to have at least five recipes perfected to the point that I can make 60-120mls at a time and it be tasty from beginning to end by the end of January. If I can perfect ten, that's just brownies on the cake!

Well I could wait no longer and went ahead with a little over $100 order of replacement flavors from Wizard labs.

Any suggestions or am I heading in the right direction?

DX is the diketone free version of the flavor.

Did you use the same percentage of mandarin orange as the strawberry on the starburst recipe when you changed it ?

 

[hittman]

I went with 10% on the mandarin. In my past experiments with it, the flavor didn't come through very strong. This one came out good.

 

[Joie]

Nice will give it a try

Mandarine is one of my favorite flavors. I use it with tangerine, orange cream and a few other ingredients for one of my fave juices. I'm a flavor hound and use the mandarine at 10% mixed or 15% if i dont add the tangerine
