A little tip hodge40 (from a youtube video by Lordy on mixing)to speed up the steeping,is to use a device that adds a heap of air-bubbles(like a milk frother)I made a bottle of Afro-Dizziac,was awesome straight after mixing but over the next few hours I noticed it was starting to really attack my throat & wasn't enjoying it as much.I don't have a milk frother so decided to have a quick think,remembered I had my Dremel-clone(£19 from Aldi)which has a little cup-shaped brush in the tools so poured the bottle into a glass,few minutes with the Dremel soon had a mass of tiny bubbles within,back in the bottle & then into the atty.Result was much less TH & the next couple of 10 ml bottles I've mixed,have gone considerably darker overnight whereas the "un-stirred" sample is about 2 shades lighter for longer.
I've tried the Afro-Dizziac & Strawberri flavours,the Afro-Dizziac reminds me lots of Pernod,the Strawberri is defo strawberries but there's another taste there that I can't place(mainly as I haven't decided exactly how much % to add yet,10% seems a little muted and I fecked up the 15% by dropping the VG bottle into the glass & sprayed the mix all over the worktop) lol
