Steeping process best methods?

[zouzounaki]

I find it best to filter it through the gusset of a pair of 50 Denier American Tan Tights.

laundered or soiled?

Obviously used...

Does placing the bottle in hot water and shaking speed up the steeping process? If so, are we talking about a 10 minute bath followed by a vigorous shake, then repeat for a couple of hours?

No however............Nothing magical will happen until all of the different ingredients have been properly mixed together.
The reason for warming before shaking is that VG will thin when warm and become less gloopy so it will mix easier while shaking the bottle.

Sounds like unnecessary faff to me.
The great thing about steeping is that we can not agree on what steeping is. What processes are involved. Far less on the best method.

If having read some stuff that makes sense to yo the belive it and you will probably find it works for you. It's voodoo..

I never believed it for years, but for the last couple of years, absolutely. I have one custard that needs 4 months, a tobacco that needs 3 months and one honey tobacco that needs at least 7 months.

I'm just yanking your chain mate [emoji16] It clearly has an effect on a lot of, but probably not all liquids. I keep finding 10ml bottles and shortfills that I nic'd up ages ago and forgot about that taste way better now than they did originally.

Infusion via Brownian Motion, time is the key.

Flavours seem to change with time. Sometimes a flavour that is dominant initially can recede a bit and allow other aspects to come through.

Warming it can help it absorb more flavor quicker, even with premixed juice, but its just different, like hippy dude says, each method will do something slightly different to each flavor and whether or not u will like that change is completely subjective
