I just... shake them? Is it necessary to agitate the mixes this much?
I do this as well. Lately I've been wondering though, how long should I be shaking for?
Holy shit guys, this isn't rocket surgery. Give it a shake for a minute, et it down, come back and shake it for another minute. I promise you it will taste exactly the same as running through that sawzaw. don't over think it
Typically I take a coffee straw from McDonalds (or any other fat guy feedery) and cut one side so that it resembles a propeller. I put the other end into my power drill and use it like a small mixer. Works wonders.
For small batches I do that to a q tip. I cut it twice so it has 4 blades.
Yep. I found Q-tips didn't reach the bottom of my bottles so I had to get a longer stem. I also made a beater of sorts with the scraps I had from some old model cars and a hot glue gun. It suits my needs. If I ever have to start mixing juice in volume I'll do something different, but for now I'm making about 120 ml/week and my little straw stirrer works perfectly.
Hit your local Walmart or Home depot and grab one of these clamps for like $2. I drilled a hole through my sawzall blade and mounted it so it wouldn't fly off..... makes it much easier to hold the juice.
