OK, having tried this:
=> 10:1 brine is pretty damn strong for this. No more than 1/8 oz - like 1/2 tsp - a few drops, a couple dashes, i.e. small - probably a small pinch of salt
=> It does lose some body/spice when not using the Celery Seed tincture (I'll share the technique in another post)
That said, it does brighten up the heavy demarara/black walnut bitter, so still pretty good
