I am planning to brew an Ommegang Abbey Ale clone so I listened to the archived Sunday Session with Randy Thiel, former brewmaster at Ommegang. He said they use 5 spices for the Abbey Ale: Sweet Orange Peel, Licorice Root, Star Anise, Cumin, and Coriander. For a 6 gallon batch I am planning:
Sweet Orange Peel: 0.25 oz
Licorice Root: 0.25 oz
Star Anise: 1 star/seed
Cumin: 0.1 oz
Coriander: 0.25 oz
What do you think of my quantities? Any input would be appreciated...
