Hellooooooo everyone! It's been a couple of weeks since we'd last hosted this thread. Thought it pretty important to give people a chance to share their thoughts.
The prior week, I had tried to open this up to wider discussion on whether this was necessary [or had become rather obsolete]. It is still a bit unclear how exactly ALL of the information will be referenced, be it prior weeks or going forward.
Yet again, /u/OdieDoodah really steps up to provide a useful, uniform, unbelievably good template for your SFT Notes. While you may not know exactly how to handle the ratings, higher is meaning more pronounced. IMPORTANT: You will need to copy the information and post it in your comment as markdown.
Hopefully people will find it easier to use with practice and also feel it's exceedingly beneficial. Yet we don't want to make this seem like a monumental task.... so let us know if you run into any issues at all?

Damn Rancer - that template is still in it's infancy and still needs some work. Maybe this week people can tell us what kind of info they want to give/read when posting notes. That way we can make the template better.
ANYONE WANTING TO USE THE TEMPLATE
Multiple people editing the same document can cause a lot of headaches. You should click on "FILE" on the menu bar and then click "MAKE A COPY". That'll get you a personal private copy.
Apologies if it wasn't supposed to be rolled out yet! What I saw was perfectly usable. And appreciate your adding additional instructions; plus any future efforts to update/improve.
Shall we say it's in Beta?
So is this for people to use for personal sft's, or will we see these be added to the Flavor Facts doc by the more reputable members of the community? are all the existing SFT's going to be added to the google doc or will they remain as links to the reddit post?
This is for anyone to use... new and experienced mixer alike. Ideally, anyone can search this subReddit with the concentrate's name to pull it up. Or they can use Apexified's vendor cross-reference. If there are more than a couple of SFT's, then I can imagine it'd be tricky to include links to all of of them through the Flavor Facts sheet.
If someone reads the SFT for a flavoring and they didn't completely agree, then they too should include their SFT notes. Because they may be able to taste something others couldn't... or are taste-blind to something that was mentioned. Which is helpful for those wanting to make sure they get the particular notes from the options they're considering.
It may one day get to a point where each individual using this sub would submit SFT's for their own reference later or for the sake of others. Not sure that it would be "too much information (TMI)" in the sense that some might go through as many notes as possible to really understand how that flavor comes across.
TL:DR
In a nutshell, yes, for your personal SFT's. :) To your other question, not sure.
Or maybe even Alpha? hahaha
I was thinking that we'd have a smaller group deciding which things should be included and quasi-finalizing it before rolling it out for mass consumption. But since it already has - I'm adding help and instructions ASAP. And hopefully we'll hear some feedback on ways to improve it.
Just wanted to add that Cap Sweet Strawberry is great as a standalone and works incredibly well mixed with Cap Banana too. I mixed both separately. Adding - the strawberry smell is prominent and has strong flavor (kind of like candied strawberry). Mixed at 5% and it was satisfying.
