brewing a pumpkin ale today. i have nutmeg, cinnamon, alspice, and vanilla bean. all the spices are in thier whole form, not ground (figured i would want to take them out at some point and ground spices would just "dissolve" into the beer) anyway all i can do is crush them as fine as i can with a hammer without powderizing it. but how much should i add of each? i know they wont be as strong in crushed as apposed to ground. also hints about addition time would be helpful too.
also I want the spices to be apparent, but not "punch you in the face" spicy
5 gallons, OG will hopefully be around 1.075
