So I love Wayne's yogurt base, but wanted something that adds a little more vanilla and a little less tartness.
Tested around, and came up with the following mix:
FA Cream Fresh: 2%
CAP VBIC: 2%
CAP Creamy Yogurt: 1%
FA Vienna Cream: 1.5%
FA Meringue: 0.5%
FA Caramel: 0.5%
As you can see, it is pretty much Wayne's base, but with the yogurt turned way down and 2 creams + VBIC added. Curious to hear your thoughts. It's quite smooth, with a tiny bit of yogurt tang but not any kind of tartness or sourness that you get from a greek yogurt. Think more in lines of the Nutriday yogurts. Flavour total is not much more than Wayne's: his is 6%, this one is 7.5%.
The risk of using so many different creams is that it gets extremely confused as to what it wants to be. Steeping is a must.
I'm still very undecided on this particular base, but if it turns out that I prefer it more and more, I'll make some stone of it.
PS: Interesting tidbit: I started developing this base after I made some Peach Yogurt mixes with Wayne's base. I quickly discovered that using yogurt + peach is an insane combination of tartness that is not by any means unpleasant, but is just a bit "too much". Most peach concentrates (and I've got 6 of them I think) are tart/astringent by nature.
