Three way steeping sequence?

[rowdyplace]

​

Just a Word of Advise.

If you are Trying to work at a Precise Temperature, say 150F, do yourself a Favor and buy a Decent Thermometer.

Things like Crock Pots are Notorious for Being Off of what the Numbers on the Dial say to what the Actual Temperature is.

Thanks zoidman -

I totally agree and should have mentioned this. Here is what I use:

​

3 Pcs LCD Digital Fish Aquarium Thermometer Water Black Free Extra Batteries | eBay

I bought 3 of these for under $10.00. I cannot tell if any individual one is calibrated, but using two at a time (that read the same) gives me a feeling of compliance...

Making 100 mL. in a 250 mL glass flask.

I have the milk frother, the crock pot, and the ultrasonic cleaner.

I used the frother to initially combine the flavor (single) and base (50/50-1.2%)

Is there any special reason to use either the CP of the UC next. (Which one first...)

My thoughts are to UC it for a couple of hours (yes the water gets to about 140°), then CP it for 4 hours. Should I continue to use the frother periodically to further mix the contents?

Or, am I over doing this steeping stuff?

Just fck it all in the bottle and wait imo

I have one Similar to this...

Only use it once in great while. But when you need it, it comes in Very Handy.

Off topic, but quick...

How do you post such nice large pictures? Mine just seem to be too small and I cannot figure out a better way.

I have a candy thermometer. I know that once my crockpot hits 150 that if I keep it on low with the lid cracked it will stay around that temp (and I check with the thermometer).

I often start the crockpot off with some boiling water mixed in to get to the right temp quicker.

No Real Secrete. I just use the Insert Picture Icon on the Reply Bar.

But you Have to Choose a Large Picture if you want it to be Big. I don't know of a way to make a Small Picture look Bigger that it is in a Post.

Time. The one and only steeping method I will use here on out. Tried numerous ways with same liquid and a control. Time in a dark place beats everything I tried.

Start at post 1245 and look at this ongoing experiment. Read a few pages back and see the results of MikeP's first published experiment.

I think he is on to the right path...

The whole thread is full of info.

I have zoned in and out of that thread. I am anxious to see the end result. My own experience, as limited as that is, time seems to give me the best result. There seems to be a full complete well rounded flavor that I can only achieve with time. Could be my mind. Could be variables in my mixing. Could be real. Don't know. But having something stashed and the anticipation is a rewarding experience alone. I have tried all the various steeping methods for juice that I have been vaping for years, and still think the juice that was put away in its chamber for weeks, always shines better then anything I have heated or shaker to extreme.

The important factor is that we all enjoy what we are doing at what we produce.
