Pinestraw

[TxThumper]

I made my first batch of juice today.
9% tfa strawberry ripe
3% tfa juicy pineapple

It's not bad, but the pineapple really takes over. Anyone have experience with that flavor? Is it usually overpowering? I'm gonna let the juice steep a few days, and try it again.

Those are two of the few TFA flavors i use, though pineapple not very much of it. It ain't super overpowering to me, but taste buds differ. I'd try bringing the pineapple down to 1.5 - 2% and bring the strawberry up to 10%
I'll make two batches, this one and the one with my changes, see which is better. Either way, looks pretty good. What are we looking at in terms of steep time?

Yeah, for me that pineapple is really strong. We all experience them differently, for sure. I've used it at 0.5% and 1% and can taste it fine. Just experiment and you'll find a good ratio that works for ya.

I made it around 3:00 yesterday afternoon, and just tasted again. the pineapple has mellowed out a lot, but its still the dominant flavor. i'll give it another day, and see what happens. how much steeping time would you recommend?

I tend to be paranoid about juice, but I usually say 1 week minimum is a good rule of thumb.
