American Wheat "Dry Spicing" Ideas??

[porkchop22571]

I've recently purchased Northern Brewer’s American Wheat at SWMBO's request. I agreed as long as I could have some fun with it. My plan is to transfer it to three 2 gallon buckets after primary fermentation. I want to create 3 separate "dry spiced" beers.

Here's the base beer that will be used ….

Northern Brewer American Wheat
Type: Extract
Boil size: 5-6 gallon (7.5 gallon brew kettle)
O.G.: 1.043
-6 lbs Wheat malt syrup
-1 oz Willamette (60 min)
-1 oz Cascade (15 min)
-Wyeast American Wheat Activator 1010


SWMBO loves unbalanced overly citrusy and/or spiced wheat's. So the goal is to create 3 overly spiced American Wheat beers, while still remaining highly drinkable and not too offensive in terms of flavor. Staying true to the style is not important; home brewing is about having fun and breaking molds.

Ideas as of now ..... of which I have no clue of how much of each I should add (I only have experience with dry hopping, not spicing)
#1 - Chai
#2 - Orange and Clove
#3 - Lemon and Coriander


These are just ideas off the top of my head, also throwing around the ideas of rose hips, grapefruit, and chamomile (obviously not together). Any other ideas or creations are welcomed and encourage ..... let your minds be free

Reminder all additions will be in the secondary fermentation phase so the base is the same throughout.

Also if you you think I should add any DME, LME, steeping grains, or hops to make the base better (while still being fairly generic) please post as well.

Thanks,
Corey
