I'm making a belgian strong ale this weekend. does anyone have any experience with licorice root?
My recipe calls for "licorice root - 1 each" for 60 minutes on the boil but all I was able to get my hands on was ground up into little chips. I have also been warned that too much for that long in the boil may come out overly bitter.
Thoughts?
As of now I was thinking about doing 14g for 60min and 6g for 15min (along with 1/2 tsp of cardamom at the same time).
