I have a few spiced beers coming up. I did a pumpkin beer last year. I suppose I can use that as a point of reference but what do you guys use as a dosing range for these types of things? I don’t want to reveal what the beers are until I brew them but rest assured they aren’t pumpkin beers.

Go small. 1/8-1/4 tsp per 5 gallons. I made a pumpkin ale, with roasted pumpkin in the mash. Steeped 1/8 allspice, 1/4 nutmeg and 1/4 cinnamon. Steeped 10 minutes post boil. Added 2 vanilla bean guts in the keg, and it was nearly spicy too much in the final product.

Yea, light is better in my mind.

 

Not sure if you're doing commercial set up, but I like adding spices to rum or bourbon and dosing that in my spice beers.

2/3 of the spice in the boil and 1/3 in secondary. Keg and let it sit a month or two to mellow out some.

I made a pumpkin ale and also a Christmas beer with Cinnamon. I think in those days I was using secondaries so I would use about 1 tbsp of the spice and add it to something like Captain Morgan (in a small bowl with a lid), shake it up and add it to the secondary and then transfer. Now I guess I would try to get it into the keg when the beer was transferred. I haven't made anything with a spice in it for quite some time.

I brewed the first of these spiced beers today. It’s a blueberry peach cobbler inspired beer. A little cinnamon, lactose, and vanilla. I got some 65 brix blueberry juice concentrate and 65 brix peach juice concentrate that I will add at the end of the week.

Needs nutmeg and bourbon - since you're doing this...........

I need to get a 2 bbl brite tank so I can do one off barrels like that. Hmm I’ll look into it. Right now my brite tank’s carb stone is at around 5 bbls and so is the bottom jacket so it’s not really feasible to do less than 3-4 whiskey barrels, which is the whole batch. Plus I need some in a few weeks. I love the idea tho
