Have ya ever made up a recipe that you know has to/should steep…but smells soo damn good you don’t want to wait?
nope…I am often mixing up 20-35 recipies at a go…so it’s all business of getting through the process to store in the closet until ready.
MANY times!!
Some of my mixes and tests down even last a week lol
Yes… and honestly, in my opinion, if a recipe doesn’t taste pleasant on day 1…it won’t on day 20 WITH THE EXCEPTION of some custards and bakeries. You should be able to get a good idea on how a recipe will steep. I just mixed a vanilla cake and ice cream recipe and I’m vaping through the steep. It’s nice but I know it’ll steep out better. I think this might be an unpopular opinion, but in my experience, I’ve found it to be true. It shouldn’t taste like crap on day 1, so you must have mixed a good one!! Congratulations
I agree on this point. Day one smelling/tasting terrible…won’t get better. They can be strong/stronger on day one and will mello out.
