 .Its how to make one shot concentrates?

But should only be used to make small quantities until you are sure the %age is what you want

[ausfost]

Somewhere on the forum is a spreadsheet of one shot recipes with % of concentrates but for the life of me I can't find it. Perps help!

I go in search of mentioned spreadsheet as I have just order all I need to start my journey into diy mixing

This one very possibly ausfost?

Though I'll say what I always do . . . . whilst guides are useful as a starting point, they can't take into account our individual tastes/taste buds. I've used flavours at 20% that other people might use at a considerably lower percentage - but I like a good ' full on ' flavour also. Overall my ratios tend to be 20/25 . . . . sometimes 30% depending on the concentrates.

So any guides are just that . . . . you can't beat making a small tester of any flavours new to you and going from there.

I couldn't agree more

I was reading the other day on Facebook, someone who had just done their first mix, all 500ml of it, THEN they asked if they had got the percentages right because it didn't taste too good, these people should be lined up & shot, the world would be a safer place

Here's how to make one shots.

Find a recipe you like and add up the flavouring percentages.

I'll use my custard recipe.

6% Vanilla Custard v1 (CAP)
4.5% French Vanilla (CAP)
4.5% New York Cheesecake (CAP)
1% Ethyl Maltol (CAP)

So, the flavourings add up to 16.

Decide how much concentrate you want to make.

Lets say 30ml.

Divide the 30 by 16........... and you get your magic number ......in this case 1.875

Then multiply all the percentages of the recipe by the magic number (round up or down as necessary)

6% x 1.875 = 11.25ml
4.5% x 1.875 = 8.4375 (8.45)ml
4.5% x 1.875 = 8.4375 (8.45)ml
1% x 1.875 = 1.875 (1.85)ml

So that's 30ml of concentrate you use at 16% (the original flavouring percentage total)

Not sure if you are in the same mixing groups as me.

There are people making 2 litre batches and not liking it.

Bloody frightening.

Even if you like the juice. Must get bloody boring xD

Haha . . . . shooting may be a little extreme, but I get what your saying Q.

There's several peeves I have with the FB DIY groups I'm in - that leave me despairing and completely unsurprised that people do not get good results from their DIY endeavours.

This alone stops me from mixing mega volumes of anything, no matter how much I enjoy a flavour . . . . must be like eating exactly the same meal for weeks on end. Not for me with all the lovely flavours there are to explore.

5 hours on . . . . I should think your pizza is well cooked by now ausfost, if you haven't already munched it.
