patch Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Hi All,Has anyone tried the 20 kg packs from Davis?This one to be specific...Alacen 450 – Whey Protein Concentrate Instant 20kgHow did you store it? That's big amount! Did it provide the protein you needed? Would you recommend it?Genuinely curious to know if they are ok.CheersPatch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePman Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 We got one of these not too long ago.I like it. Unflavored whey doesn't really have much of a taste to it, so I've been adding sweetener and flavor essences. It mixes very well, usually doesn't take more than a hard shake to get it blended. So far I haven't seen anything else here that compares for the price. I just store it in the kitchen on the floor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rose Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Moons ago I got a sack of the isolate. All good. Any unflavoured stuff you get in NZ is likely just this shit repackaged. When you compare the nutritional analysis of this WPC and WPI vs another NZ business, they're exactly the same. Verbatim. Suggesting my hypothesis re repackaging is correct :pfft: Would suggest protecting the contents if you live in a damp area, and it will absorb smells if ya sack is left open.P.S. 20kg is really not that much. Roughly the same size as a bag of concrete mix from the hardware store. Ok it's probably nothing like that size but it's not huge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaNs Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Split it into different lots and store in a dark cool place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rose Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Split it into different lots and store in a dark cool placeAnd watch it grow! :pfft: I don't think cool matters as much as airtight. Though obviously storing it in a furnace is not a good idea. Some people put it in plastic storage bins but I've never seen one big enough that's actually airtight. Plastic rubbish bag and peg FTW! Cheap and no splitting required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaNs Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 I've been adding sweetener and flavor essences.What ones you been adding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePman Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 I use sucaryl and a little citric acid, and then some Hansell's essences. I like the strawberry, banana, and orange.Also for drinks, the Thriftee cordial is pretty good and doesn't have any sugars in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
