So, I have seen a few threads about suggested percentages with which to use each flavor, but not really much on suggested steeping times for each flavor. I know the general bakery, tobaccos 7+ days, fruits SNV, etc, but it is a little more complicated than that, or so it seems so far. I'll post what I've found so far, and if anyone has anything to add, I'd love to hear it.
CAP
Sugar cookie V1&2 - 7 days
Caramel - SNV for a quick sweetness, some steeping brings out more caramel
Vanilla Custard V1 - 7days or more. The longer the better.
Vanilla Cupcake - SNV but steeping brings out more of the cupcake for me
Chocolate brownie - TBD (have but haven't used)
Cake Batter - SNV
Strawberry, Sweet - SNV
New York Cheesecake - Only used once, so not sure
FLV
Root Beer - SNV. LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS FLAVOR
ICE - snv
lemonade - in the mail. can't wait.
cereal, crunch - also in the mail
Milk and Honey - again, in the mail but will be dropping this in a juice immediately
Macaroon - get the trend? I think i'm going to fall in love with Flavorah.
FA
Apple, Fuji - SNV
Caramel - SNV but definitely develops that carmelized flavor over time
Coconut - SNV. Amazingly real coconut
Cookie - haven't played with this enough yet, but i'm thinking 5 days min
Cream Fresh - SNV but after a hot bath and a few days gives a nice creamy mouthfeel
Marshmallow - SNV. talk about sugar lips. love it
Meringue - definitely needs at least 5 days to develop that eggy meringue thing
FW
Butter Cream - i'd say 3-5 days but i'm just starting to work with this
Cinnamon Roll - TBD i've barely cracked into this but can't wait
TFA
Banana Cream - SNV
Black Cherry - SNV
Butter - SNV
Cheesecake Graham Crust - a hot bath and a few days do this one some good
Cream, Bavarian - definitely needs a few days to develop
Dragonfruit- SNV
Frosted Donut - Maybe I didn't wait long enough with this. I'm not getting much donut
Mango - SNV
Peanut Butter - SNV
VBIC - after a hot bath and 3-5 days I SCREAM for ice cream
Vanilla Swirl - not sure. SNV works, but time works better
Watermelon - SNV
Strawberry, Ripe - SNV
INW
Biscuit - definitely needs time. everything i make with this ends up going before i can figure it out
Kaktus - SNV
Raspberry - SNV? It's in the mail.
I let all of my juices except for strictly candy type fruit mixes sit in a warm bath overnight then leave them uncapped for cooling. I've noticed it takes a few days off of the steep time but doesn't replace the need for it. I'd love to see people add to this, contradict what I have to say or agree or elaborate. I feel like this could be a useful tool for some of us noobs. Thanks in advance. This is my whole flavor stash after about a month of DIY. I'm in on this thing. Any suggestions of additions or complementary flavors to some stuff I already have would also be great.
