Flavor Properties Smooth sweet cream with a sharp vanilla, and a lite buttery finish.
Relatable Flavors Reminds me of eating a vanilla popsicle, or light vanilla pudding.
Off Flavors Overkill on the sweetness, leaves a sugary aftertaste on the pallet.
Position In The Recipe this is a great accent cream rounding out any ice cream recipe. Heavy enough to be part of the base, but not potent enough to be a top note.
Pairings creams fruit fairies bakeries tobaccos, and I think it would benefit the most from a more earthy vanilla.
Notes Great and versatile little flavor not quite a stand-alone flavor but has so many uses that you should definitely have this in your arsenal of flavorings.

1-3% with my pistachio ry4 does wonders to it
Is your recipe at all similar to Charlie Noble's Pistachio RY4? If it is would you mind sharing the recipe? Pistachio ry4 is my shit! Go through about a 120ml every week or so.

Mine is close to these. I used this as a guide and played with the percentages. I have 5 6 versions of this. A keylime ry4 pistachio, a salted caramel ry4 pisatchio.
I use my vanilla swirl in creams that want a bit more sweetness added to it, not just the ry4. Where i live they have these cakes called london rolls, and it taste somewhat close to that.
Looking at many older recipes, it seems to me that this flavor was used in every other one for a while. I don't know why that was or why it's fallen out of favor a little, maybe some DIY old-timer can explain it.
As I've expanded my flavor collection, I found other creams that did the job better than this one.
I used to use it quite often as well
I'm certainly not a DIY old timer but I see it as a reliable work horse. I used to use it a lot, I still do but I used to, too. It gets the job done without a lot of fuss and is plenty dynamic to perform various functions mixed with different flavors.
Something that I, as a newbie at DIY, have really been missing out on during these reviews is a reccommended percentages MinX-MaxX range. Being that this is one of the flavors that I actually own that's been reviewed upon... I've been toying around with it with both sweet and fruity flavors alike. I guess I just would like to see a reference in the future for flavors so I know where the start and finish are for each flavoring.
Maybe none of this makes sense. Idk. :(
It does make sense some reviewers are putting in min-max rates personally depending on what you're using it with these ratios can change that's why I haven't bothered putting a missing percentage in the reviews.
Some things that may help tfa,cap,&fw start at 5% fa,flv make stronger flavors 1-2%
The really is no magic number for each flavoring company depending on the flavor and what you're using it with you're going to need to adjust. Check elr look up the flaver under flavoring list are usually go out with whatever has the most recipes this should give you a pretty good place to start. Hope that was helpful

It reminds me of cheap soft-serve ice cream, and I mean that in a good way.
