# Bench Trial Guide — Apple Honey Butter Flavoring
|
||
|
||
The full batch is not the testing ground. Use 100 ml samples first.
|
||
|
||
## Scaling
|
||
|
||
3 gallons is about 11,356 ml.
|
||
|
||
For a 100 ml sample:
|
||
|
||
```text
|
||
full batch amount = sample amount × 113.56
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
For potent extracts/spices, start lower than the math-scaled dose if uncertain.
|
||
|
||
## Suggested sample matrix
|
||
|
||
| Sample | Honey | Apple concentrate | Vanilla | Cinnamon/spice | Butter/butterscotch | Salt/acid/tannin |
|
||
|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|---:|
|
||
| A | none | none | none | none | none | none |
|
||
| B | low | none | tiny | none | none | none |
|
||
| C | medium | low | tiny | none | none | none |
|
||
| D | medium | low | tiny | tiny cinnamon | none | none |
|
||
| E | medium | low | tiny | tiny cinnamon | tiny butter | none |
|
||
| F | medium | low | tiny | tiny cinnamon | tiny butterscotch | tiny salt |
|
||
|
||
## What to look for
|
||
|
||
- Enough sweetness to carry dessert flavor.
|
||
- Apple still present.
|
||
- Honey still present.
|
||
- Butter/butterscotch not fake or popcorn-like.
|
||
- Cinnamon warm but not hot/woody.
|
||
- Finish not flat or cloying.
|
||
|
||
## Rule
|
||
|
||
You can always add more. You cannot remove too much extract/spice.
