Also It totally sux that Bing Cherry is off the table I have some pretty interesting mixes that will be going down the drain… Contains Capric Triglyceride you all get the email from FLV?
From what I get w/ Rainier it was kinda more raw not as sweet as Bing. I’ll check on my batches w/ Rainier and compare I haven’t tried it in a while.
On the FLV it says Rainier is its replacement.
Maybe if they were the same, which they are not! Dangit! I’ve been working on perfecting a cherry base and Bing is an integral part of that. Oh well, back to square one. Done it before
Amy said it perfectly - “From what I get w/ Rainier it was kinda more raw not as sweet as Bing.”
Don’t get me wrong - I like Rainier. I’ve found though it needs a good steep. Also is a candidate for cap off after mix at least overnight. But Bing Cherry was the first one I ever tried that I loved straight away. You know opinions vary, but to me Cherry is the hardest flavor to work with I’ve found.
Yeah, you are absolutely right about that, cherry is the hardest to work with as far as fruits go anyways! I also loved Bing Cherry right away. I use it in many cherry mixes that I have, the only other cherry I use is Inawera Cherries. It is a really good one too, but I liked the sweetness of the Bing…oh well…I guess I have to move on and find another (if Rainier isn’t for me as I have yet to try it)…like you said…I have done it before! Thanks for the info Sthrn and Amy cause I didn’t see that in the post, guess I need to read slower so I get it all!
I am really looking forward to your input on the Rainier mixes…I want to see if I need to savor the bottle of Bing that I have or if Rainier is a good replacement!!
If you ordered some of the new flavors it might take a little longer than normal because I know they had them for sale even though they were on back order. I think this week is when they just got all those flavors in so they are probably a little behind. I would say just be patient this time. It’s not they’re norm I think it’s just that they are way behind.
That’s generous and I appreciate it. If you want to throw it at me I’m fine with that. I can return a favor. It would be a Band Aid solution but maybe Brendan will get enough feedback to keep it available.
Thanks for telling me. I’ve been in love with Guanabana nectar for years but treat it like a luxury because it’s got corn syrup and I try to limit my exposure to GMOs. I’ve been so excited to try this flavor I even have a fresh clean tank set up and waiting.
Just recieved FlV apline strawberry as a bonus. Will mix soon and get back. Not a fan of FLV original strawberry though it is useful in a strawberry yogurt or candied strawberry profile.
