I'm gonna have a crack at making Grants Vanilla Custard "Clone"

I got the ingredients, but could do with a step by step instruction for my child like brain

Ive got Capella Vanilla custard flavour, Dulce de leche, and 12g Ethyl Maltol crystals.

I did do a search n found loads of posts, but am feeling a bit retarded still as what to do lol.

Just wondering if any one makes this them selves and could run me through it. Pretend your explaining it to a 4 year old

Do you have VG & PG?

Do you know how to dissolve the crystals?

Use a calculator to get the right amounts.

i'm fairly new to this myself..but apart from dealing with yer crystals it's pretty straightforward..
get the potv liquid calculator app
put in yer figures
nic base figure=prob 72,itll say on the bottle
how much you wanna make
what % vanilla custard you want, 10-20% depending on recipe
what%dulche de leche you want, 2% depending
What% em you want...or 1or 2 drops per 10ml

Err on the not enough side of things ,you can add later

Just gotta find out what to do with crystals..pretty easy i think

I guess it's the crystals that are the doubt.

"Dissolve 1 gram ethyl maltol in 9ml of propylene glycol. TIP: Warm the propylene glycol in the microwave, then add ethyl maltol powder to the warm propylene glycol."

Personally I'd use a warm water bath instead of the microwave as you don;t know how a plastic bottle will react, but it's much the same.

You can also crush up the crystals first so they dissolve faster.

Thanks, will have a bash now. Do I mix the flavours first then add the rest (pg/vg/nic) and allow to steep or steep just the flavours and Em first ?

 

[Muck777]

Do it all at once. Get the bottle you are going to use, add ?ml of PG, ?ml of VG, ?ml of nic, ?ml of flavour, then give it a shake and leave it to steep.

 

[twoeyedbob]

some folk let the flavours steep for a while first then add the rest...
time seems to be the key..easier said than done though ;-)

I'm using water baths,caps off and a coffee frother with the big bit on the end busted off(so it'll fit in small bottle)

Dont fancy risking the micro as i had a near disaster with a rapidly melting bottle
