looked for a recipe for soaking the botanicals in 2 strips to go through the alembic pot still. Just need the quantity for 2 x 5 gallon strips. What amounts to put in for thr gin run and what botanicals.

If that was a strip, then I can promise that it will taste better after a dilute to around 30% and a spirit run.
Make cuts,save the heads and tails for another day.
Just sayin'

Run it as an experiment. Note what goes in and comes out, adjust water flow or whatever you can. Don't drink the first or last. Sip the middle or dip finger and taste. Leave it a day to breathe. Water to 30% and run it again if it's vile.

When doing a strip run you take all the spirit until it comes off @ 20%.
