I will be making my first Belgian style tripel this weekend, and I am going to add some crushed corriander and some orange peel. I'm looking to add slight nuance with these flavorings, and am planning on a perhaps a 3 week primary, 1 week in the secondary (if needed? Maybe not...), and 2 month rest in the bottles.
1. Should i add my orange peel in the secondary (if so, how many days?), or in the last 15 min of the boil?
2. Should I add my crushed corriander seeds in the secondary (if so, how many days?), or last 10 min of the boil?
3. how much orange peel should I add? I have no idea what is too much or too little. 3 peels? 1 peel? Don't want a strong crazy orange flavor. just a hint of it.
Thanks everyone!
