First custard cream mix!

[jmw2309]

18% vanilla custard (pure perfection)
5% TPA french vanilla deluxe
10% TPA graham cracker
2% Sweetener

I would have preferred to use capella vanilla custard but didn't have any so improvised.

I have had a quick test after 3 days and I like it. I must withstand the urge to keep filling the tank as it needs to steep! It is quite sweet but not too overpowering.

I have 3 x 12ml made @ 6mg so will try again in a couple of weeks. If I don't like it I will send it to someone that might!

Some of my 6 week steeped custard is not to my taste so will try this in 2 weeks.

More custard creativity to follow immediatly! would putting some sweetener in the steeped stuff improve it as it tastes a bit strong?

If it's too strong jmw2309 you could mix a small amount of flavourless and dilute it with that? Maybe 10% at a time?

TPA's Vanilla Custard is always worth having some in as an alternative to Capella's jmw2309:

Tried this again in the dripper and it's too sweet! More graham cracker or start again? Not really getting any biscuit taste.

I'm not surprised 2% sweetener is quite high, in addition to what is contained in the flavours themselves . . . plus it will gunk your coils quicker than a lower percentage.

As a rule I find 1% adequate jmw2309.

You could try adding some more Graham Cracker, but if you only mixed it a few days ago then the flavours haven't really had time to steep, so I wouldn't be too heavy handed. It could taste different again in a few weeks.
