Shaken or stirred?

Thanks mumra, I'll see if I can invest in one of those as they sound a hell of a lot more efficient.

(I couldn't figure out how to 'mention' you )

Not sure if they are more efficient but they are bloody useful (fyi to mention someone put an @ infront of the persons name..... i.e. iroverrated)

I've just been shaking the bottles like mad but now I'm thinking of getting a milk frother. Does it help with the steeping process?

I'm a plasterer by trade so giving sh1t a mechanical whoop-up is something I do a lot of and I'm all too familiar with what the different effects are, of not giving liquids of different viscosities a proper whoop.

IMHO shaking mixes, although works, is far less efficient than using a forced action mixer of some sort or another.

Anyway, what I've noticed is that a drinks frother is super efficient at mixing 10ml, struggles a bit on 30ml and has to be held near the top of the liquid to ciculate the liquid properly. I nearly broke it trying to use it on a 100ml batch. Will use the Mrs' hand held cake mixer next time I do a 100ml mix.

I mix straight into the bottle..

I add PG, VG, then the flavours, shaking in between each flavour then add nick and whisk it with a milk frother.
