Grants custard

[oldschoolib]

I picked up 50 odd mil of grants custard thinking it's ment to be the boom !! Iv tried it though a few tanks and just not getting it at all !! Iv tried a few different custard brands now and a few from fellow members who make there own flavours just not liking grants ....

Sorry to hear that chap, its a liquid that Im looking forward to trying. So could I be really cheeky and ask if you could send me a small sample. More than willing to pay for it.

How long did you leave it to steep???

The reason I ask is because I love grants but find the longer it is left the better it gets.

One month from purchase for me mmmmmmmmm, 2 months mmmmmmmmmmm, 3 months heaven.

Did I send you custard?? Was it worse than grants

I can't help you out otherwise I would, I didn't even let mine steep too long  this time  , and it is all gone already.

Grants tastes nothing like ambrosia devon custard in the tin, nor like birds packet custard.

It has a definite, caramel/ toffee twang to it.

I believe this is why many love it, yet many get disappointed by it.

Grants like all custards needs a good steep... a month, seriously.

If you ever can give it 3 months - lush

ALL CUSTARDS NEED A MONTH

Thought the TripHammer ones didn't taste of very much
Still, only tried a little bit....of the Devon custard/blue custard/fizzy trifle so plenty left of my tiny little 10ml bottles to keep for........a month

Did contact Digbys though, and they say theirs come ready steeped.

I NEED a really tasty custard.......now pleeeeaase

Ignore the ready steeped, grants usually is too depending on the bottle size, give it at least a month from landing on your doorstep, believe me it only gets better.

Even if you hate the final product , you can rest assured it was at its best after one  3 months

I guy I got it from said he brought 100 mil and to today's date has bin stepping for 5/6 weeks or so , I'm getting no flavour of custard from it ! Are my taste buds funked up or what .... To me digbys tasted better straight out of the bottle

Might be wrong but i am sure GVC is already steeped, think they put a date on the bottle.

Think this applies if you bought direct from Grants.

I would pop it away and try it in a month.

It may be that you just don't like it, but give it a chance as so many people can't live without it.

Don't want to open a can of worms but do you know the guy you bought it from?

Did it come in an official bottle?

There has been cases even on here of people pretending.

If everything was genuine sorry I am not meaning to offend anyone, it is just that it has been known.

Totally correct, although I think this only applies to the bigger amounts, still though it tastes much much better after been caressed at home for another month

Strange thing steeping, my home made apple pie and custard is nice after 4 weeks steeping but if left for 8 weeks steeping it tastes not so nice so i have a 2-4 week window of vaping it.

Don't get stronger or anything, just don't taste right/as nice.....kinda tastes off ???
