probably would be better to add the juniper in 2ndary, possibly as a strong infusion to avoid floaters and gain sterilization.

note: 
racked to 2ndary to clarify. Added ~25 small wild juniper berries from Seeds (1/2 size of a pea, less than 1g).

Very wildflower nose, not sure much juniper flavor came through.
