Hi all,
Planning on brewing up a strong dark belgian ale and was considering adding some dried bitter orange peel at end of boil and maybe some cocoa nibs to secondary. I know, not traditional, but with the holidays approaching I was thinking it might be fun to give it a shot.
Anyone use orange peel in a quad before? How did it turn out? Should I plan to add more than I would to a wit given the additional maltiness?
Thoughts on the cocoa nibs? Think it could play nicely off the dried fruit character of a belgian dark ale.
Thanks!
