Curious on an aspect of this one, I know coffeemate is a sweetner - however, I've never used coffee, and maybe it's that old chestnut of not mixing what we as humans think the fish will like - but coffee with all of it's natural taste/smell and caffeine etc - surely ground coffee added to a base mix or included in a glug could do well on a water?!

Coffeemate isn't a sweetener, it's a creamer.
I think coffee would be a repellent, very bitter and adds nothing.

No its not. Have you tried it. The smell would put you off, but it's not bitter.

But we like coffee?
I know of few people that rate using coffee grinds in bait or in ground bait.

taste is another head fvck area.
whilst they are closely linked, I think taste & smell get mixed up a lot when we talk about carp baits - especially around gustatory & olfactory responses which are quite different but very important. the actual response is probably the most important part but that doesn't happen in the receptors.
the easiest way to find out if something tastes good to carp? ask it's parents

I made some bait using a little mixer.
This one was struggling with a 12 egger, but just about managed to do two mixes without it going on fire. 24 eggs made 4.5kg.
I really do miss my big crypto peerless.
With garlic, paprika, a few drops of garlic oil too.

Used it near 2 decades ago, let it down with some fish sauce & added bits, great bait glug/soak.
Just make sure if you use it as such you take some gloves with you...hot summer nights in your bag aren't the nicest without them

never had much luck using it as a paste by itself but have done well blitzing it up with some liquids (a little bit of oil & some fish sauce) & using it as a glug / stick mix liquid.
it reeks, high salt content means it lasts forever & everything seems to love it apart from people :D

Crikey we were putting Nesquick in paste baits back in the 70's Dave.

The kenwood mixer just seemed so puny, I missed my crypto so much, it was bugging me.
Hobart 20qt, it was very rough sounding and needed some work to get it running smoothly.
All sorted.

The bigger Kenwoods, Chef Baker XL, Chef Patisserie XL or Chef XL. They are the only Kenwoods suitable for knocking up 12 egg + bait mixes with. They have dough hooks. like your Hobart. The K attachments on that mixer in your photo are for whisking mashed potato, icings, things like that.
The Chef XL's come in 1000W, 1200W & 14000W. Even with the XL's... It's only really the 12 & 14000 that are up to the task on a daily basis.
I would have guessed that was all standard information, for you and your friends on that home bait rollers group on Faceache?

Thanks for the kenwood detail Mark.
I found the dough hook just didn't pick up the paste well enough so ended up using the K and that wasn't too bad, even though the capacity of the bowl and power of the motor were both struggling.
Anyway, back to a proper man's sized mixer now, looking forward to my next bait making sesh.
