Dogfish Head Sah'Tea Clone

[silverhammer]

Hey everyone,
I'm trying to come up with a clone for dogfish head's Sah'tea. Here's my recipe so far

5 gallon batch:
19.5 lbs pilsner
3 lbs rye malt
1/4 oz northern brewer @ 60 minutes

Cold brew 20 tsp loose black tea leaves for 24 hours and add to strike water for mashing

Add spices at 60 mins;
1 Tbsp fennel or anise seed
6 green cardamom pods
12 cloves
1 cinnamon stick
1/4" ginger root
1/4 tsp black pepper corns
2 bay leaves

Add 1 oz crushed juniper berries @ 5 mins

Hefe yeast

Is that too much tea? and has anyone had any experience mashing using tea?

I don't know about the tea, but are you sure about the cloves, that seems to be very clove heavy. I don't remember the beer being that clove heavy.

Have you tried the recipe? How'd it turn out?

Don't forget to carmelize the wort with white hot river rocks...

Trying to come up with my own recipe and want to know how this turned out. Specifically want to know how the "tea" went that you brewed to add to the beer.

Here is mine:
