Hi Perpetua, do you know if this spreadsheet is still live. I have tried to connect a couple of times but get "the URL could not be found" page come up.

I believe the author may have removed it @kopiert . . . there are these links if they're any good to you.

Though I have to say, none of those percentages would suit my taste buds as ' standalone ' flavours, generally I aim for an overall 20% of flavouring . . . sometimes a little more, depending on whose concentrates I'm using. I tend to ignore ' recommended ' percentages from manufacturers as they don't take into account our individual tastes.

Any new flavours I get, then I always taste a little on my tongue, just to help me determine how strong or weak they may be, then take it from there in my mixing.

As for steeping times, these are what I work on as a rough guide:

Mints/Menthols - ready to go from mixing.

Fruits - ready to go/ a couple of days. However Capella's Harvest Berries does benefit from a couple of weeks steeping, there are probably others I've not tried.

Coffees - 1-2 weeks.

Desserts - 2-3 weeks

Custards - 4+ weeks

In practice I probably don't use anything under a month old, though Fruits & Mints do peak off flavour wise if they're left too long I reckon.

I don't believe there are any definitive guides on either myself, it's what tastes good to you after however long.

I'm guessing here but I suspect I have a copy of the above doc in Excel, if @kopiert or anyone else wants a copy then drop me a PM with your email addy and I'll forward it to you
