Specific gravity of (FA) Joy?
submitted about 10 years ago by nwatchmn

I'm new to mixing and setting up my flavor database to include grams/ml and cant for the life of me find it for joy. my flavors haven't arrived yet or i would just measure it. Anyone know?

Everytime I see this I thought we agreed we all just use 1. That way everyone works off the same gravity regardless of flavor or manufacturer and can be easily replicated. The actual weight isn't important if you are mixing based on percentages and keep that gravity consistent.

For the sake of your sanity, enter everything as 1.04 (the weight of PG)

The difference there is a max ~.03 which will never be noticed in a) small batches or b) making your own recipe. Consistency is key when making your own, and the only way this would fail you if you tried to clone an exact recipe in a large batch (~1L+)

I just call them all 1.03g per ml for simplicity.

If you are developing your own recipes, you are mainly looking for consistency between mixes.

I keep checking the numbers to make sure they are all filled out and one isn't filled in and I feel the need to have it complete. That's text book ocd.

1.04g is the weight of PG, and TFA specsheetlist shows similar flavors to be slightly above that; blegian waffle @1.058 and Bav. Cream @ 1.068. I'd guess around 1.05g.

Frosted donut doesn't have a spec grav listed yet, and I'm sure it's closer than the other two.

I've been using 1.05g/ml, based only on what other FA flavors come in at.
