I'm sorry do you not set up a chorus line of heavy creams when you make Vanilla Sweet Cream?(i.redd.it)

I wish I could do this. Our heavy cream comes in gallons.
FairestGuin [OP]53 points2y ago
😳😳 I do not even want to think about where we would possibly fit gallons of heavy cream. We would never be able to keep heavy cream in our bar fridges. The heavy creams and half and halfs fall out when you open the doors already.
truecrimeANDchill18 points2y ago
We only have it in our cold bar fridge. But it’s close to the bars so it actually works well.
wifeypoopoo3 points2y ago
We have the gallons too but we store them in a fridge by the drive thru

We make ours in cubes. We don’t have enough space to store the pitchers like this and making it in cubes is so much more efficient.
King_Spamula11 points2y ago
I'm fighting to get my store to stop using cubes. We used to use a whole toddy, but of course that compromises quality. Then we switched to the cubes and pitchers method, bit believe it or not, that's a huge waste of time and space because we don't have room to stack the cubes in the back fridge and also having to transfer them. My old store used to prep sweet cream pitchers every couple hours instead of twice a day like we do now, and it worked a lot better.
I don't know why many baristas like to take shortcuts that are actually a lot more difficult and tedious than the standard path.
BlueBearRex5 points2y ago
We don’t have room in back to store the pitchers. We make 3-4 cubes once a day that last us for the next day and get store in our drive they fridge right by the cold bar. We refill once pitcher throughout the day with sweet cream form the cubes. It’s super efficient and maximizes our space.
King_Spamula1 points2y ago
Yeah but at the same time it could just be worked into the CS cycle to make like two pitchers every couple hours and then put them in the cold bar fridge
croissantboyy2 points2y ago
i've measured out the 2L pitcher recipe x3 and i make sweet cream cubes in a fraction of the time. it comes out to a full bottle of vanilla plus 7-8 more pumps, just below 2 liters of 2%, 3 liters of heavy cream. to remember i go 1,2,3 (1 bottle, 2 2%, 3heavy cream)
TyrannicalKitty10 points2y ago
How do you pour the cream? Just take a cube and hope for the best?
italyphoenix27 points2y ago
You prep and store them in the cubes but then pour from the cube into the pitcher to use on bar
ClassifiedChipotle13 points2y ago
We actually use cold brew toddys so that you can pour into pitchers, if you do this make sure you whisk in the morning tho!

Put pitcher in a sink. Pour cream from cube into pitcher. Spillage stays in sink.

One........thrilling combination. Every single move that she makes!!!
Coffeeandcrystalz21 points2y ago
I’ve never seen it made in the pitchers! My store makes it in the cubes using a bottle of vanilla, 900ml of 2%, and 3L of heavy cream. I do kinda wish we did it this way so we can just grab a new one when we run out instead of having to wait for someone to go get the cube and pour it all, probably spill a bit lol, and then get the lid on while DTOing.
echowolf920 points2y ago
If you look on the partner hub there is not recipe for making a cube of sweet cream. Technically Youre supposed to make a pitcher and pour it into the cube. Also those are not the proper proportions
truecrimeANDchill19 points2y ago
Shouldn’t it be 1800ml 2%?
Huge_Crab_742514 points2y ago
The bottle is only 1L of syrup, so to make a cube (triple batch) you’d need an additional 50mL. Also 1800mL of 2%.
FairestGuin [OP]10 points2y ago
We don't have enough cubes for that. Ours are always full of cold brew concentrate.
boxinghamster168 points2y ago
Ya'll are making that way wrong. You should definitely start making it by the pitcher if you're gonna make it wrong otherwise. I'd be disappointed if I got sweet cream from your store lol
Coffeeandcrystalz0 points2y ago
Hmmm interesting. I’ll definitely ask about this! I’ve only been here a couple month’s but that was how I was trained. I guess it’s so we have a larger supply as we have a cube in the DT fridge and 3 in the back fridge. We make the cubes and date them for 3 days. They all foam correctly and everything so we’ve never had problems with it.
boxinghamster163 points2y ago
Yea the regular recipe calls for 600ml of 2% and if you're tripling that it would be 1800ml. So that part is way off. Heavy cream foams pretty easily so it makes sense that it would be foaming still with not enough 2%. Also sweet cream is only good for 2 days not 3 so you're way off all over the place.
BabySteele17 points2y ago
My store only ever has 2 pitchers at a time. One as backup and one to use.
boxinghamster1618 points2y ago
Are you a low volume store? Some days I go through a pitcher in less than an hour because of all of the tiktok drinks I'm making.
ahbeeceeess4 points2y ago
My store does ~$55,000 weeks and we go through 3-4 a day
BabySteele5 points2y ago
Idk how much money we bring in a week, but we are a small cafe store. Per day we bring in about $1,400-2,000
boxinghamster164 points2y ago
Ok yea that explains it. We hit those numbers around 9am
FairestGuin [OP]16 points2y ago
Oh god we would be making sweet cream every two hours.
BabySteele9 points2y ago
We make one. Maybe 2 a day if its busy lol during the winter time we've definitely not finished a pitcher in the 2days n had to throw it out. Its rare, but happens
MaxHard4209 points2y ago
Dog my store goes through 2 pitchers in a half an hour on a weekend. Wild how different stores are lol
ElijahLordoftheWoods9 points2y ago
Unfortunately my HC comes in half gallons, I have however managed to drop it in straight down, they fit pretty snug inside the pitchers lol
FairestGuin [OP]6 points2y ago
Lol I can see how that would happen. And I would be the person to do it at my store. Btw I am in love with your username
LZARDKING6 points2y ago
We use jugs of heavy cream so that would get #messy
I always love to make an assembly line of whatever I'm prepping. It seems so efficient yet it doesn't save me any time -- but DAMN I look cool lmao
FairestGuin [OP]2 points2y ago
Hell yeah. Especially if I am doing a bunch of one thing. I do this with white mocha, too and that one always seems to impress the most. 🤷🏻♀️
Designer_Finish88051 points2y ago
What do you mean you do it with white mocha?
FairestGuin [OP]2 points2y ago
I set up the containers and open the jugs of white mocha and set them tipped upside down in the containers to pour while I do other prep.
Designer_Finish88051 points2y ago
Word I guess your store has more than one container mine only has one 😬
MatchingColors3 points2y ago
Hahah that’s about right, our store is able to get by using just pitchers, but we make about 12 pitchers a day, usually 6 at a time.
It’s the same story for lemonades and SAR, although we just switched to putting SAR in the second Curtis we got.
silversungoddess4 points2y ago
Oooooo SAR in a Curtis sounds so smart! We make so many gosh dang pitchers of it a day
BaristaBeech3 points2y ago
My store has gallons of heavy cream

Nope, never.

FairestGuin [OP]13 points2y ago
Oh gross. That is the way we used to do it to but that is ridiculous when making 6-8 full pitchers. The recipe is heavy cream to the 1 liter line in the pitcher then measure 350ml of vanilla in a cold foam pitcher and finish with 600ml of 2% which is really just 2% to the 2 liter line in the big pitcher.
FairestGuin [OP]10 points2y ago
Oh and whisk the whole thing. Which you used to not have to do when doing steaming pitchers. And fun fact one bottle of vanilla split into 350ml makes 3 pitchers of VSC
melodiic_3 points2y ago
hey just an FYI, the 600mL 2% definitely doesn't go all the way up to the 2L line in the pitcher, it should be a bit under it! please make sure you're measuring the 2% in the cold foam pitcher as well, it might take an extra couple of seconds but it seriously makes a difference in beverage quality because it doesn't foam correctly when there's too much milk in it
Myra-Maines1 points2y ago
Nope I do 3, 2, 1 method since we are a high volume store….don’t have time for that s h I t lol
In 1 cube: (3)L of heavy cream….use the liter pitcher (2) 900 mL of 2%….use the cold foam pitcher (1) bottle of vanilla syrup
Wisk to combine. Makes 3 pitchers.
FairestGuin [OP]1 points2y ago
We wouldnt have enough cubes for that, or the space to store them. We are a high volume store too so I just have to whip up like 6 pitchers this way in 4 min and do it twice in one 8 hour shift.
elote69-4201 points2y ago
What’s the recipe for these again?
truecrimeANDchill7 points2y ago
1L heavy cream, 350ml vanilla, 600ml 2%, whisk
elote69-4203 points2y ago
Thank you :)
ashkatchem4201 points2y ago
My store does 250 ml of 2%. Is it really 600? If i do it with this much 2% it won't foam??
truecrimeANDchill2 points2y ago
It will if your other measurements are correct and you whisk well. 600ml is the recipe.
