The the last piece of the mix came today came today, so whipped up my first bath 
These are just the standard base mix and no extra liquids. But Im pleased how they turned out and how they smell already!
Here is a picture of them in all their glory
Next batch will add extra additives and flavours

Make up the mix as detailed...use nine eggs and add the powders slowly. If you have any left over then it is a 10-egg mix

can anyone suggest any flavours that would compliment this bm1,i understand and respect that people who know alot about this subject saying its excellent as it is,however i would like to put my own twist on it,i was thinking of green lipped muscle powder.
BM1 (basic HNV mix)
30% LT94 fishmeal = 600 grams
15% Maize Protein Meal 60% (supergold 60) = 300 grams
13% Egg based bird food like CeDe = 260 grams
10% Semolina = 200 grams
10% Soya flour (heat treated) = 200 grams
8.5% pre-digested fishmeal = 170 grams
8.5% Calf or lambs milk powder such as Vitamelo = 170 grams
2.5% Selenavite E = 50 grams
2.5% green lipped muscle powder = 50 grams
do you people in the know think it will be lost in the flavours thats already in there??i understand its going to up the cost slightly,resulting in the base mix cost and price of the eggs bringing the cost in for 10kg @£4.80 per kg,depending on quantities bought i could get this down slightly.

Thats how I used to roll it but you would be amazed how different people have slightly different technics that mean some use 9 eggs when others would squeeze in another
As Ken says start with 9 eggs, add any liquids and weigh your base mix before and after to find out how much you actually use....if you like the end baits keep making them the same way
And GLM goes very well with this mix....as do many fruit or sweet (cream, chocolate etc) flavors

Are you trying to make 2/20kg with them levels your using?
Are you going to be using 25g (2.5%) per kilo? that seems a little low to me for the GLM. The more the better IMHO.
I always found 5%+ to be a good level to start at. I think in this quite strong smelling mix, 5% would be better to get the smell to come through.

Am i doing something wrong with BM2? It seems dry and splits easily between light finger pressure when its rolled and boilied. Must admit it rolls like a champ. For the distance im fishing at the moment it needs to be harder and bound tighter. Would either egg albumen, whey gel, blood plasma do the trick without compromising the nutrional value to much? Which one would you use?

Use some blood powder, pop some lime stone flour in to gain distance in a stick

Why, do you think blood powder alone will be enough to bind the mix im already struggling with plus the extra limestone flour? The white plasma powder i assume you mean? Does it bind that well? Ill see if i can get hold of some. Cheers.
