[QUOTE="Brewdude, post: 460076, member: 1723"] Very interesting to know of your experience AJ. I've had a very difficult time getting FVF to perform acceptably. It's very moist, and even after drying it out to a tactile feel it still frequently defeats me! I've recently been trying the method of cubing the flakes and then drying them to almost brittle, and then loading them up by gravity with minimal tamping. That seems to be the way forward. FVF is a fussy bitch, IMO. Almost not worth the effort. But when I get it right it's sublime. Needs very shallow sipping as well. And yes, much age seems to do wonders for this. I really want to like this flake. BBF is much less fussy. Cheers, RR [/QUOTE]
