Hey all, brewed a pumpkin spice amber ale this weekend..will be doing a spice tea in the secondary but I've never done one and had a couple of questions.
1) Can you stir the mixture in without introducing too much oxygen..I figure you would have to stir with the lack of motion due to fermentation being over.
2) How long until you bottle after adding? Does the spice fade with time? Could you add it to taste right into your bottling bucket (would take care of mixing) and then add the priming sugar after and give it a quick stir?
Thanks!
