@Gitchy So, mixed and tried a Raspberry, one I had already mixed and steeped, added 6% Powerful Sour and let sit for a couple of days. Mmm, there is some sour but its messed with the overall flavour. Hasn't muted it, it's kind of made it sort of artificial not quite right if you get my drift. Personally I'm not a fan of it right at this moment. But, maybe it needs to steep, who knows, maybe in a couple of weeks or three I'll sing its praises. Time will tell. But as a mix n vape sour, no. Fingers crossed. Will try a couple of small batches at various %. I got zero though at 3%. Maybe its just me though that doesn't get sour properly like I dont get apple or peach! Who knows!?

Post 11 or you should be able to get smaller amounts in a home brew shop.
Breathing these types of compounds at the begining of steeping is essential.

How long to breathe it mate? I'm having a little sucess with tart and sour at the moment in small amounts, say 1 - 1.5%. Much better than trying to up it. Stilll mild though.

Just till you notice the eye watering tang mellow off when you first open the bottle.
I take the cap off to let the air replace with fresh and replace the cap.
You should notice it mellow after a few times.

A lemon/lime conc is great at adding that missing sharpness to a plain fruit like strawberry or plum but keep the % low say 0.5 or the taste will start to show.
