Maybe it's stupid of me, but I have this idea of an overly complex process yielding some type of magic; the nuances and things out of my control coming together to create something beyond what I could design on my own. Reality is probably more like it becoming a disgusting mess lol, but oh well...

Thanks, Elias. So, I sealed up the vessel today and will leave it to sit in a closet for a few months. Before sealing, I poured a little sample: It tastes like a witbier on crack. I can't taste any particular spice coming through, just a general intense witbierness. The alcohol seems a bit...

Thanks! I had the same idea about flavours stacking so tried to spread out the profile. The tincture idea is interesting and I'll be careful with the clove, I keep seeing posts saying it's quite powerful. Actually, I'm adding the cane sugar mainly for its taste and colour. It's so delicious and...
