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.

That sounds lovely. I've never thought about a spruce spirit before, but I am quite a fan of spruce beer and can definitely see how it would fit in that role

I've used it in a number of beers and it's always been a hit.
