Alright I try to only post my absolute successes here, and this is definitely one of them. I'm really proud of this flavor, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
Cumberlime
PRESTEEP: Sharp cucumber and lime. Nothing else much going on but the Cucumber is really strong, and just on the border of artificial tasting. Personally, I've gone through a couple 15mls presteeped and loved it just the way it was.
2 WEEK STEEP: Cucumber becomes a background note with a blended lime custard. Absolutely delicious. Still can't taste the pineapple, because it's only really working with the custard as far as I can tell.
Sweet Cumberlime (ELR) as 30ml.
Brand | Flavor | ml | Grams | % ---|---|----|----|---- INW | Ananas | .15 | 15 | .5 FA | Cucumber | .15 | 15 | .5 FA | Custard | .75 | .84 | 2.5 FA | Lime Distilled | .27 |.27 | .9
Flavor total: 1.32 ml (4.4%)
INW's Ananas (Pinapple) is an amazing filler that works with FA Custard like a dream. I highly recommend you try the two alone. With out those two, the juice just feels sharp without any body. Feel free to leave out Anana's, but the Custard is pretty important. To be honest, I really don't care for any other limes (TFA, FLV, INW) but if your into others more feel free to put that in instead. Other than that, I wouldn't even try TFA's cucumber. It's pretty bad IMO. FA's Cucumber is really potent and only a few drops will do the job.
This is absolutely the least amount of flavoring I've had for a set mix, but I LOVE it just where it's at. Please let me know what you think!
EDIT: Sorry it was marked as private!
1ml each of INW Ananas and FA Cucumber weighs 100g? Methinks the weights are off a bit.
Otherwise, looks interesting. Too bad I only have half of those flavorings. :(
Interesting looking recipe, very keen to try. Could you recommend a couple of alternatives for the INQ Anana's? I'd love to try this but that's missing from my collection.
Capellas golden pineapple will work at same % but honestly you dont need it. It just helps the custard. I've tried things like Bavarian cream, fresh cream, ect to replicate/improve it with no avail. Try it without it, then see what you can come up with and let me know what you come up with please, I'd love to see where people can take this. 4% seems super low but it's near perfect. Just cant figure out where to with it now.
Looks pretty good! Think i'll throw in a little bit of Black Pepper too when i mix this up :)
