Hi guys,
Has anyone tried mixing the above concentrates,
Is there any major difference in taste? ie compared to V1??
Unfortunately, the country where I now reside,I can only get V2...
Many thanks...

I haven't Mike as I avoid DX and V2 versions with a barge pole largely because they might contain Butryic Acid in place of the ' custard ' ingredients Acetoin & Acetyl Propionyl, which my taste buds really can't abide. Not everyone is similarly sensitive however, as always individual taste buds play a part in perception.
I've found these reviews in a google search:
Instinct tells me that despite Capella reworking these flavours as best possible to the original, inevitably there will be some compromise in flavour. But I could be totally wrong.
Do Chefs ship to the country where you now live, would such items get through Customs if they did?

Hi Mandy, Unfortunately Chefs cant ship to the country where I now live ...its too risky... I can get certain concentrates here, but one supplier wont stock V1, as it contains Diacetyl,so will only stock V2... and the other supplier is hit and miss...sometimes in stock...sometimes not... As you can probably guess, I was trying to mix Kev's Park Avenue Cheesecake.. many thanks |

I had a horrible feeling that might be the case Mike. 
Can you get TPA/TFA's Cheesecake and French Vanilla ( Deluxe ) where you are . . . . personally I'd rather use those rather than any Capella V2's, but that's purely my own personal preference.

TPA/TFA here again 'hit and miss'. Mainly Capella & Flavorart, but .. depending on availability... IF I could get hold of the 2 concs above.. Kevs mix was 10% NYC 5% FVD What ratios would you try?, I love NYC as its so creamy... |

I really, really love TPA's French Vanilla Deluxe - one of the first vanilla concentrates I ever tried and I've pretty much stuck with it ever since, despite trying numerous others in the meanwhile. None of them have compared, for my tastes.
It's quite a full on flavour, generally I use it between 3-5% . . . . and it needs a good ' custard ' steep to be at it's nicest.
Their Cheesecake I haven't tried, as like you Capella's NYC suits me just fine. I'd be inclined to make a small sample of them both up at the 10% and 5% and take it from there Mike if you can get them.
