For those of you into RF SC flavors I adapted one of the soul custardy recipes someone posted a private recipe sneak peek of and it turned out pretty tasty IMO
Soul Custardy v1.00 (RFSC)
1.75% Vanilla Custard (Real Flavors)
0.50% Cream (Real Flavors)
0.50% Graham Cracker (Real Flavors)
0.40% Butter Toffee (Real Flavors)
0.25% Bourbon (Real Flavors)
0.20% Brown Sugar (Real Flavors)
There are a few versions of it posted if you do a recipe search.
Oh boy, this sounds right up my alley! A 1000 thx
Noticed the corner store has some sort of age your own whiskey kit in the show case for like $20 that comes with a 2 (I think) liter barrel…
here are the non Real Flavors recipes if you need them - http://e-liquid-recipes.com/list?q=soul+custardy
Thank you. I’ve never used RFs but always wanted to. Is there anything different I need to keep in mind? Or an info guide on it that I can research?
For a recipe using the SC line I shoot for 3.5% total. Some like more, some like less. This is a good calculator for adapting recipes with higher percents down to 3.5% - http://www.e-liquid-scripts.com/cosmiccalc
I tested 5 of the VG flavors (didn’t care for them personally), have 27 of the SC flavors on hand and plan to order a ton more later this year after I have used up all my older TFA, FA, FW, etc flavor stash.
Here are some threads you can learn more about the RF SC and VG flavors from @Walt_RealFlavors
Thank you, again. This is comprehensive.
I’m a proud owner of my baby barrel from the link you posted.
@LordVapor I was reading the instructions that came with the barrel, including that little business card and it said you can use the barrel 3-5 times. What? Does that mean it loses it’s flavor properties after several steepings? Boohoo, tell me it’s not so.
I didn’t get anything like that with mine. I am mixing a second round as soon as I restock. If I can only get 3000-5000ml out of a barrel for $30-$40 to me it’s still worth it. That’s only an additional $.03/30ml or so. Very worth it to me. So if that is the case, the barrels will make for some very cool decoration 
You’ve got a barrel half full attitude…I like that, thx
Plus, you can store whiskey in the barrel. Then mix juice in it and have the whiskey note in your juice if nothing else 
or a juice note in your whiskey also not a bad thing
I just got done steeping my base in the barrel for two weeks so I can do what you suggested. I’m new to this and didn’t take all the steps that @LordVapor did, but hoping for the best.
In that case, I’ll need another barrel for rum! I’m going to move forward with the base I just steeped and start mixing 30ml bottles of your Drunken Custard recipe and other custards I saw here. I don’t have the fancy equipment you have and crossing my fingers this turns out okay.
Did your barrel leak a bit? Mine is a little wet on the outside, especially around the bottom. I soaked it for 48 hrs.
Is there anything else I can use besides cheesecloth? I’m stuck in the house with a Nor’easter and my barrel is awaiting?
Coffee filters will be very slow but may work. You can always bottle, then filter later. Cheesecloth really is the best option. I can’t think of anything else that would work as well.
Not so much that it was dripping. But there were areas around the barrel where it appeared to be wet. Not so much to the touch though.
I ended up using gauze. Still kind of a slow but worked. I like your idea of straining later. At least I can bottle it now till I get the cheesecloth. Thx
