Alright, a few clarifications first:
About the equipment; I am going to assume his is a Basic set of equipment. All the fragile, specialised, awkwardly-shaped, and expensive glassware that makes up the more advanced stuff are not exactly the kind of things you haul off to an unclaimed frontier. The basic set has a max instability of 5 (hold on five? Did I set basic equipment to five? That's way too low. You'd have a hard time making cough syrup with that before something went wrong) 8. Basic equipment has and has always had a max instability of 8.
Potion bases will never be marked as (Effects Unknown).
Admittedly I only just realised how potentially awkward to figure out they could be. The uncertainty around if something is or isn't a Potion Base pretty much guaranteed failed potions. So no, you'll know if something is a base.
Tasks and brewing potions aren't mutually exclusive.
Just so you know there's no limit to brewing potions. Even when hard at work on a demanding task every proper alchemist can make time to make potions.
And finally, can I ask you to call out when you're taking something out of (or putting something into) guild storage? I did initially miss that you were using Badger Fern from the storage.
Now on to the fun stuff:
Bim mixes;
[1*Monduks Snout,1*Bardgrass,1*Badger Fern].
There are two very minor cross-reactions between the ingredients; Instability down, Ph down.
The potion is stable enough for the tools you're using (no roll on the instability table)
Total Ph: 10, undrinkable but perhaps usable in other ways.
The potion has two effects;
Intoxication at a potency of one. At a potency of one, this effect is very similar to alcohol but with the caveat that the intoxication is magical in nature. However, it wears off just as quickly.
Re-hydration at a potency of one. This effect instantly re-hydrates the drinker even from the verge of dying of dehydration. (The higher the potency the longer it will be before the drinker expirences thirst again)
