Surprised at how much the mash is still bubbling despite being fermented out
And this shit is exactly why you should get a cheesecloth
Glad im not that into grain based alcohols
Then again, looking at the banana rum mash with the thick layer of banana goop, i think this might not be so bad
Man i love the blackbird

Green :DDD
This is using the following recipe i put together

absinthe
1.5L 85% neutral spirit

maceration
80g wormwood
90g anise
70g fennel
7g angelica root
6g coriander
1.5g caraway
6g star anise

other possible herbs:
3g majoram
8g mint

coloring
green:
4g hyssop
2g lemon balm / melissa
2g mint
(2g spinach if you want extra greenness)

red:
roughly 5-10g hibiscus and rose
2g tarragon (estragon)
Now while i did get 80g of wormwood in total, i previously harvested a lot and dried that but that turned out to be a mere 30g so i went and harvested a bit more from my wormwood plants and that of course was much heavier due to being fresh and filled with moisture
So i opted to add 10g more fresh wormwood and im hoping that because its fresh the flavor will be much more intense so itll work out
