Notes
Blend in "tea" to taste, post fermentation.
Recipe from Gordon Strong's "Brewing Better Beer: Master Lesson for Advanced Homebrewers".
"Bring about 1 quart filtered water to a boil, then pour over spices and cover in a separate container. Let steep for 15 minutes, then strain to remove spices. Cover tea and keep chilled until used. I blended in about 2 cups (473 milliliters) of this liquid in the 5-gallon (19-liter) batch. But you want to do it slowly, mix it well, and taste it. Different people have different tastes, so you’re looking for a nice balance without being overpowering with the spices. Don’t use tea—it has too much tannin."
