I made a pumpkin spice ale, and it is kegged and carbed with co2. I am happy with it, but I feel likea little more pumpkin spice, could be nice. Can I add more spice....by maybe boiling a small amount of water with spices in it, and adding it to the kegged beer.. Or is there a better way? Or should I be happy with what I go and leave it?
 
Sure, you could boil some spices and add the "tea" to the keg. You just have to bleed the excess pressure off, open the lid and add the tea. Or you could put the spices in a little vodka, let them sit for a week, strain the spices out and add the mixture to the beer. Vodka has better extraction potential because of the alcohol, you will get more aroma using this method.
