Sensory on the tinctures is that horehound added a nice complexity but also added herbal bitterness. Keeping that low but still adding it seemed like a good idea. Tried 2:1 to the elderflower in sampling, still seemd a bit bitter. The ratios here are 8:1. 100:1 beer to elderflower was agreeable to everyone who tried it in the samples. May not have quite enough of that tincture so will need to measure at kegging and adjust accordingly.
190ml of elder flower tincture in the keg 24ml of horehound tincture in the keg
