Hi everyone, I have a question I hope someone can answer for me. I am brewing a saison mini mash that calls for coriander, paradise seed, and both sweet and bitter Orange peel to be added at 0 boil. My question is, should I put the spices in a hop bag and steep while chilling or just add them to the wort directly causing them to remain during fermentation.
 
You don't have to put them in a bag, but you should crush them pretty finely.

On another note, traditionally a saison doesn't have any spices. The "spice" comes from the yeast strain. There's a very good guide in Brewing Classic Styles and the Jamil Show podcast that goes along with it. If you use a saison yeast strain, you will not need those spices.
