Hops?.....

You know, I regretted adding the orange peel to my only saison (1/2 consumed).

Also with saison yeast try to get fermentation temps into the 80s for the second half of fermentation to get good attenuation. Otherwise, plan on using at least 1.5 lbs sugar instead of base malt.

are you looking for a proven recipe or just wondering if yours will work?

Technically you could toss in an old sock if you want since the saison is kind of a kitchen sink beer as far as ingriedents go.

The yeast and ferment temp are what are important.

throw a little fresh ginger in when you add the orange peel.

I'd skip the spices. Yeast and fermentation typically contribute these flavors.

+1 on skipping the spices and getting the ferm temp into the 80's after the first couple of days.
