I don't make Great but i try to hit Amazing success.In order to do reach it you need to use a bunch (sometime 1 sometime 2 crates).In your case2 Runs of 1000 Dough + a run of 1000 Carbosyrup does not equal two groups of 500 Canape because you still have to use samples from the 1000 dough, Carbosyrop and Medium Nutrinent to make your schematics.At best you will deal with 2 x ( 980 Dough + 490 Carbo + 490 Medium ) in this case you will have either few Carbosyrop or Medium Nutrient left over.
No, no you don't. Your nutrients get used up in the failed experiments at the same pace as your carbosyrup/dough do.

If casks dont need identical then why can't i use the casks i made in this run ?
About few days ago, i made a cask schematics but i changed the name to Cask1 so i don't mix up with the other casks meant for something else.
The factory woudlnt run it!! now i have 20 crates of Cask1 i can't use in anything.
Are we allowed to rename Cask schematics ? like renaming Cask to Cask1
Anyway. I have to destroy all the left over Dough, Carbosyrop, Medium and Heavy additive. But its such a waste of resources. Some in quantity of 23 or less.
Like i said, not enough to make a full crate.
If you really want to save time, you might as well run the components with your schematic. Then just delete the one partial crate of final product instead of all the components. But once you make them, why not just sell them?
You could put that crate of 23 canapes up for half the price of your crate of 25 - the customer that finds it probably won't complain about the two missing items.
Or dump them on the bazaar in Coronet when you are passing through. I usually carry several partial crates with me and put a few of each up when I'm in town. Brandy is usually gone within a few hours, other items in a day or two. Advertising is optional.
If you have the vendor space, I think stocking singles is nice for your customers, too. Just because you produce by the crate doesn't mean every customer wants to buy things that way.
Oh, and I always rename my casks - I've never had a problem using them.

Like i said... too busy to sell on bazzar. Some people just have no idea how much busy few players are.
Someof usreally don't have the time to mouse click for so little cash or even to chat.
I stopped selling on bazzar long time ago. I only sell full crates or nothing.. thats my policy...
As for renaming Casks Try to rename them Cask1 (no space between Cask and 1) all in one word Cask1
Let me know if your schematic will run the batch....mine wouldn't

btw.
The other reason i dont want to put anything on Bazzar its because it is capped at 6k and i sell my Brandies 200k which is8k credits each.
Alsoby overstock i mean Sub-components overstocked like 4 crates fod Dough, 10 crates of Carbosyrop, 3 crates of Heavy Tissues, 4 crates of Alcools.
Crates of 23 brandies i would use it for my self ..

200k for a crate of Brandy..
Beleive it or not but im having hard time keeping my vendor full.
I see people selling their crates of brandy bellow 200k... its not really my business what price you guys set however i can tell that at 200k per crates i sell pretty fast..

Why don't you put it on all on a vendor for cheap? I am sure there are newer chefs,who make stuff in smaller batches or those with the time to hand make things who would KILL to get their hands on a crate of some wicced cheap heavy addtives. Think about your fellow newer crafters, I'm sure that would be one of your best selling vendors yet.

My solution to this is to never make more than I need. I created a spreadsheet that lists the exact ingredients and components for an item, I just tell it how many items I want/need for experimentation. That way I make the precise number of everything with very little waste.

Personally, if I have 5-10 crates of a component left I'll try making a small batch of something that I don't anticipate will sell very quickly. If I have just a crate or two, I'll either use it to experiment with foods to determine what range I can expect and shoot for with my full batch of components, or just destroy them to free up the room.
