Candy sweet is a thaumatin based sweetner. Red Karpi was a flavour originally sold by Duncan Kay.

I bought some Lamlac instead of Vitamelo. Would this be any good or would I have been better off with Vitamelo ?

Do the same pal do a 1 egg mix. Get that right and move up. 8-9egg for a kg of powder roughly then you get an idea of how much basemix will be needed to make 3kg and so on.

One mix I make takes 1100ml of eggs and liquids per 2kg of basemix , makes 3.2kg of bait every time.

All eggs sizes are different pal. Easier to make a 25egg mix for example with the liaisons and oils and add the powders to it.

Yep - all depends on the amount of liquid (egg size, hydros etc) that you use.

So 1kg of base mix would give 1.4-1.6kg of finished bait??

I hope someone can help me going to use the bm1 mix from post 77 and I wondered if anyone could tell me a rough estimation of how many kg of finished boilies say 10,20,30,40kg of dry mix will make obv I know there are variables such as liquids and eggs but just a rough estimation would be great

Smurf,
Thanks so much, new to it and just didn’t want to try and go at it, as I would not know if done rightly or wrongly.
Really appreciate your help.
