steeping and breathing

[cloudyjosh]

Heya guys finally getting good diy juice results just wondering about breathing and steeping as I make lots of custard blends I generally leave them to steep for 2/4 weeks after crock'potting and breathing for 6HRs is this necessary? does this loose flavour and if necessary do I need to do it more? :S

The only time you might need to leave the tops off for juice to breathe is if you have alcohol based flavorings. I find custards are good to go literally 24 hours (or less) after coming out of a 4-hour crockpot steep.

Ok I use FA any of theirs alcohol based? Cheers

Don't think so. They're PG based.

Glad you're getting good results! Love to see more mixers around.
