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

Stripping run is finished, got me some 6l of 40% low wines
Spirit run and absinthe production will be done this weekend

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

For the coloring, traditionally theres just the green and white absinthes, green being the same as white with a few herbs added after distillation to give a bit of color and maybe some flavor
Though there apparently was one historic brand of absinthe that used red coloring

So i will probably make mostly green absinthe but a bit of red as well since i have some rose leaves from my garden as well as some hibiscus

I also got a liter of 70% abv vodka that i can use for liqueurs
