Mouthfeel Question

this recipe of all i tried gave me the most intense full mouthfeeling:

1.5% Bavarian Cream (TFA)
3.5% Cappuccino (CA)
7.5% Chocolate Glazed Doughnut (CA)
(it’s not from me)

I think it’s mostly the chocolate glazed doughnut. Or just the amount of Acetoin and Acetylpropionyl in the recipe.

I don’t know how anybody and “just let it steep 5 days.” I know I need to, today is day three and I am drying to try out cap mixes. But I am still being patient, picked three juices for tomorrow and are in my lunch box ready to go. Not sure how I’ll do after tomorrow…but I think I can wait one more day…they haven’t really changed color yet and are still pretty clear (maybe I should do a crock pot steep tomorrow instead…but I’m really just trying to do time steeping).

I think the more you mix, the easier it is to be patient. It’s tough when you’re first starting out because you don’t really have anything that’s already good to go. For me, I mix as much as I can every week so I almost always have new stuff to try. That, and I keep a good stock of what I love on hand so I don’t have to feel like I HAVE to use what I don’t feel is ready yet.

Check out the Shake and Vape thread. Maybe you’ll find some recipes you can whip up for instant gratification while your other stuff steeps. There are some pretty good ones there.

I would echo both @JoJo and @SthrnMixer make extra mixes to let the steeping ones steep. Peruse the site for shake and vapes. These are important while getting started. When you do find a mix you like make a larger batch that way you have one or two to fall back on meanwhile others are steeping. I just tried some of my batches today from August ( tried them earlier but tried them again today ) so have plenty stocked up. For the most part many of them were still very good. Some needed to be chucked.

Wow. August. I am not ready for that, but I do now have a few backups and succefull 30ml test custards that worked out. My ultimate goal is to have a rotation of two weeks of adv’s for me that I like (because I’m digging have multiple mixes on hand) with room to have 5 15ml bottles in testing and 5 recipies ready to mix. Of course I also need more flavors (which is or for the course).

I up to 1 weeks worth of rotation and 8 test recipies steeping…so I hope to have atlesst two more good to go recipies.

Keep a few favorites in those new batches each week even if your not all the way out. Then you can do what we call " seed steeping " this is when you take an older juice and pair it with a fresh juice ( same recipe ) this helps accelerate the steep mainly for the reason that a majority is already steeped. This will come in time but you’ll start to see a favorite getting low and when you " top it off " a few days later it’s ready to go in a shorter time frame than when / if you’d made it fresh !

And don’t worry about screwing up words I fat thumb stuff all the time :blush:
