Can some one recommend Steep time for yogurts?

I just did mix with TFA Greek Yogurt & CAP Creamy Yogurt I’m trying determine how long to steep this mix
I understand yogurts need to long steep (so I was told) I just don’t know how long I also have
TFA Key Lime in this recipe. any recommendations would be really appreciated

Thanks ,
Steve

Tfa Greek yoghurt in my opinion need 3-5 days
Cap creamy yoghurt 5-7
Key lime 24 - 72 hrs depending how much you threw in it.

But its very subjective I love my Greek yoghurt 24hrs after steep because, I like that bite or sour. This will never fade out fully but does mellow significantly.

I would say try it after 24hrs due to the throat hit from the lime right after mixing and then at 3 and 7 days. I personally find after that the yoghurts don’t change much anymore.

I treat yogurt just like cream and give it 5-7 at the least.

Cap Creamy Yogurt, IMO, needs at least 3 weeks. Before that it tastes like what a gym locker room smells like. Tfa is a 3 step process: pick up bottle, walk to trash can, drop bottle in said trash can. Sorry, I can’t stand Tfa Greek yogurt.

4 weeks for everything, longer if someone objects.

Just the other week I’ve been vaping a greek yogurt (tfa) mix @ 4% which was 3 days old… was nice, so no excessive steep times there.
Can’t comment on the other yogurts or key lime.

I just got the TFA Greek Yogurt this is the first time I have used it don’t sound very promising

I would suggest 3 weeks but I haven’t used tfa greek yogurt or Cap creamy for ages not since Flv Greek Yogurt found it’s way into my stash.

this is what I mixed

A good few people will tell you that TFA greek yogurt sucks… and about 3 weeks ago, you could’ve counted me in that group. I remember making 2 or 3 recipes with it when I bought it and I thought it was the most horrible thing I had ever vaped! Well… maybe slightly exaggerated, but if I didn’t hate waste so much, I would’ve tossed it in the bin right there and then.

I have no idea why, but the other week I saw a 5-star recipe for a banana strawberry yogurt and said “the heck with it, i’m going to give it another try”, more than a year after I got so disgusted with it.
Then 3 days later I went on a trip for a week and accidentally took that juice with me instead of a fruity shake and vape I mixed as well. I could either grin and bear it or try and find a vape shop to get some other juice. So I tried and I was really surprised, a very realistic fruity, sweet and a bit tart yogurt flavor that was quite refreshing.

I can’t remember what recipe I tried first, but it was probably just that recipe and a weird (and probably too high) percentage. Around 4 to 5% is about right for GY.

Personally I’d go for 0.25% super sweet instead of 0.5% sweetener in your recipe, but that’s just personal preference. Otherwise it looks like a nice refreshing vape for the warm days…

Your recipe looks really good I’m going to mix it up I’m going on vacation for a month and need to mix up a bunch of short steep time juices so for this recipe of yours would you say 10 days
would be the full steep time?

I’m not going to take credit for it :slight_smile:
It was all gone within a week and a half… I can tell you that it’s still good after 10 days, but you don’t have to wait that long to really enjoy it :wink:

Happy holidays!

Just one thing perhaps… the longer it steeps, the less yogurt and more cream you’re going to get. For my second batch, I left out the catalan cream.
