Hey Gang -
I am thinking about what spice mix to put in a belgian wit. The plan is to add it all at flameout, here is what i have so far:
1 oz coriander
1 oz bitter orange
1 oz sweet orange
I want to add some star anise. How much is a good idea? I want it to contribute to complexity without overpowering things. And when in the boil is it best to add the anise? Also from the perspective of not overpowering things, do I have too much orange? What about adding some crushed black pepper? Again any info on when and how to add this stuff would be great, I've never put spices in beer before.
