I'm going to make a Belgian Wit soon, and would like to try and really dial in the level of spices, so I get them to a nice level but without being overpowering.
Instead of adding them to the kettle is it possible to instead steeping each them in hot water and then add the resulting tea to the finished beer? Has anyone tried this?
I'm mainly worried if I'll be able to get enough character in that way, and should instead add some of the spices at 5 minutes left in the boil, then try it at the end of fermentation and then adding more if needed?
Experience with this very much needed. Thanks.
