I've been using the front board since I started DIY back when the mail ban rumors started gaining clarity. It's not much to look at when it's empty but it really doesn't matter, it does the job. I added the back 4x4 today since I outgrew the first one. If I didn't have the first board already, I could see the same pattern on the 4x4 working well on two more 2x4s.
Materials: scrap lumber, drill, 1 1/4 and 7/8 spade bits with pilot holes and careful plotting.
Happy mixing!
Do you worry about light exposure damaging your flavors? Rack looks great, can you see the flavors without removing the bottles? I added crappy labels on top of mine for that reason.
there's no direct sunlight ever getting there and that's good enough for me. It would be easy enough to just throw a box over if I were concerned. Actually, I kinda should just to keep the cat off it :P
I can't read anything looking from above, but I have flavors grouped in clumps with the more common ones in front of that clump, so I can grab anything with two or three tries, knowing right where to look. The groups are bakery, tobacco, custards, creams, vanillas, fruits, cereals, mint/cooling, meringue/marshmallow, caramel/butterscotch, chocolates, and sweeteners.
my flava storage cabinet - its not the prettiest , but functional https://imgur.com/a/FrjE4dz
Hi. Nice job! If you‘re like most of here, start working on the next one. Always chasing flavors, Capella just released new ones, Molinberry is due to release some new ones too. It never ends!
By the way, I think u/apexified has us all beat with his setup! There’s a picture somewhere here in the sub.
Happy mixing and come hangout with us on Discord sometime (if you’re not already there).
This is so rad! Thank you for sharing your creation with us, it looks great. I've actually been thinking of doing the exact same thing for some of my flavors using lumber; do you happen to remember the spade bit sizes you used to drill in the holes for 10ml bottles, 30ml bottles etc?
Thats nothing compared to a lot of mixers, some have thousands of flavas.. at this moment I have 553, prob have $1500 USD in VG, PG, Scale and flavors. The cabinet was free -paint.
Most dont need that much flava, but thats two years worth of buying 25 to 50 per order worth of flavas.. every recipe you find you will soon find that you are always short one or two .. Ive gotten to the point now, that If I dont have it .. I just move on. You cant own every flavor out there.
I also have gotten good enough at mixing and much single flavor testing to know what substitutions would be good enough to get a very close flavor to what the original recipe maker intended. But most I mix as written.. then modify it in some way, or base new recipes off of others base flavor
