NOTES FROM CREATOR--I make this in a premixec 20/80 base of 3mg. My changes from V1 are here. Raised Brav Creme from 3 to 5. upped sweetcream to 5, sweeter to 1% ifrom 2. Reduced Chai to 2%.
ME- Mine is not coming out so will try this drastic change in direction.
V1 = Creamy with no steep, but the Chai is an after thought.
v2 = Upped Chai from 2% to 3% --- More chai but no vanilla and cream may be falling apart
v3 = Added Vanilla Bourbon @ 1% - Weak and fell apart.
V4 = Removed vanilla bourron up Chai from 3% to 4% and Sweetener from .5% to 1%. A non-steeped taste test was close on surgar and chai. Chai may need to be raised 1 more percent but that will be V5. Adding 1% Vanilla Bourbon back into the bottle and if that doesn't work it will come out in V5.
V4.1 So far mix is good with vanilla bourbon. Gonna add .5% cinnamon as well and this can carry through or not. Cinnamon .5% over used and dropping to .25% anyway.
*** TRY VIENNA CREAM IN 5.0 TO BRING OUT SILKY CREAMINESS AND WILL ADD VANILLA
V5 - Changes made and wondered in V4.1 NOW it will need steeping NOTE THAT 4 DROPS OF PUMPKIN WERE USED. NOT SURE OF ACCURACY OF SCALE, NEVER MOVED FROM 0.00 (Should be 0.05). It is a little perfumy but has potential. Lacking creaminess and getting too sweat again.
V5.1 - Added 1% Malted Milk to it (again). Earlier I think it was 1% cinnamon that killed it. NOT malted milk. This recipe has creaminess and a hit of something I can't place. Over all spice is down now. It is more like drinking Chai Egg nog rather than Latte. Will revamp and go to V6-9-27-2016
V6 - Removed Vienna cream and Pumpkin spice. Upped Bavarian to 4% to compensate and moved chai up 1% to 5% total. Gonna start here as base.
9/28/2016 - Steeped for 1 week (2 hr) and it is rich and now has body. Getting very close. Need to up the chai flavor 1% as well as the vanilla 1%. Can drop Sweetener and maybe even drop 1% on sweet cream with addition of bavarian. ADD 1 DROP PER 30ML OF CLOVE AND CINNAMON?
I COULD vape it as - is if I made a large batch.
V7 - Upped Chai from 5% to 6%, Upped Vanilla from 1% to 2%. Removed sweetener. Will hold at this before adding additional spice..
10/1/2016 - Steeped for 1 week as 2 hrs. It is almost perfection but has a peppery taste to it. Going to steep it another week and try and go up to 3 weeks if I have to. Then will either back down or use this and mass produce.
10/1/2016 - After 2 week steep it is a little more mellow. Curious if I should go a third week or slide down to 5.5% chai.
V7 - PERFECTION. After a 2 week steep it is perfect and not strong. Will see what v7.5 does but this is it.
*** THIS IS THE KEEPER ***
Scottyjoe920 Notes: called for 6 TPA Chai Tea... I’m partial to StixxMixx.com so made a little switch. THIS IS NOT MY RECIPE I found it on ELR and changed Brand Chai Tea
