I didn't know what else to name this title, but here goes.
Next month I'm going to start doing a Christmas beer with a recipe that I developed from looking at others, etc. I'm going to put orange peel, cinnamon, and ginger in the mash instead of in the boil.
What differences would I notice if I took one of the ingredients, say cinnamon, and put it in the mash as opposed to the boil? Will there be any difference (stronger flavor vs weaker flavor), or will it mainly boil out? The reason I ask is I've seen where some only put spices in the mash, only put spices in the boil, only put spices in the secondary, OR they split it up and put half in mash/half in boil, etc. So what's the difference really?
Thanks!
