Shoutout to poleslav for telling me to ignore the thermometer and giving general encouragement. My distillation efficiency was absolutely terrible and I got the balance of juniper and hibiscus way off, so it's sweeter than I intended, but it's definitely pleasantly drinkable.
For those that can't read my handwriting, it was a super basic barley mash to make the base alcohol, then juniper, hibiscus, rose, and elderflower as botanicals.
In the glass? Whisky stones to chill the drink without diluting it
I almost thought they were coal. Is it lava rock?
Granite, so I guess it probably was lava once upon a time! As it is, I don't think this granite was lava any time recently, even in a geological sense. They're a medium grey most of the time, but darken a lot when wet
