CLC The wait is nearly over

[Tom]

The wait for the custardy lovechild is almost over!

Made some more red astaire up to tide me over as it seems to be disappearing rather quickly xD

[Greg]

That's not even a month old, surely you need to wait another two months at least

[Tom]

I can't wait any more.

1 month and its getting a taste test.

[Greg]

Well if you like it next time make at least a 100ml as 30 ml will be gone in no time, certainly quicker than the next batch needs to steep

The size was something I was quite torn about.

My thinking (if you can call it that) was:

10ml - wait a month, gone in a day or 2.

30ml - wait a month, gone in a week.

50ml - wait a month, will last a couple weeks maybe if I'm good xD.

If its a definite keeper for me then I'll probably make 50ml every 2 weeks and get a little system in place

100ml mate if you like it. Your already making at least 90ml RA a time and that needs only 24 hours or less to steep. I'm thinking your strategy is floored here

(Those are 50ml bottles. Been getting nervous if the RA runs down to less than 50ml made up xD)

Haha.

We shall see.

I do normally like to keep a good few flavours on rotation at the minute but that clc is smelling DELISH.

Right now I have over 500ml of CLC at various steeping stages Tom. If you like it, which I'm sure you will, I would recommend mixing a couple of hundred ml and then do the 50ml every couple of weeks (I tend to mix 100ml every month). After a month it's great... after 3 or 4 months it's even better - My current bottle was mixed in May, the next one will be June's batch

I am a day ahead of you, mine is a month old on 23rd, can’t wait. I am actually impressed that I have only been smelling it up to now. I have a custard milkshake to try on the same day!

guess I'm going to come up with a strategy to sort this out!

That's nowhere near aged enough Tom.


Now when it looks like this . . . .

My 150mls of custard was conceived on the 7/9/14 and I've already 'sampled' ,lol, 30mls of it !!!!!
This is TORTURE !

[Tom]

ugh

it smells so yummy


I'll put off tasting this one just yet. and leave it as long as I can then.

Maybe I'll make some more!!

xD

1 month today.... you had a sneaky taste yet Tom?

I've just had a little mixing session after getting some nic and flavours from www.ukflavours.com. Did 10 mls of CLC (using UKF's versions of vanilla custard and french vanilla). I substituted the sweetener for 1% of FA caramel instead.

Will have to see how it turns out but smells lush
