I'm brewing a Chai Spiced Milk Stout on the weekend & I need some advice, I really want to get this right coz it's for the Vic' Case Swap
this is the recipe:
http://www.homebrewersassociation.org/homebrew-recipe/yak-and-yeti-chai-milk-stout/
They just seem a little bit vague about how much Chai Spice to add, they say to add it to the keg until it tastes to your liking. Problem is I'll be bottling it so won't have that luxury.
They recommend to use your own Chai recipe to make a tincture in a small amount of vodka
I have an awesome Chai recipe, which is to make approx' 2 cups of Chai:
2 Black Tea bags
2 Cinnamon sticks
1 whole Nutmeg
3 Cardamon pods
1/4 tsp whole cloves
1/8 tsp black Peppercorns (about 3 or 4)
1 Tbsp fresh Ginger
1 tsp Fennel seeds
1 Vanilla bean
I'd love some recommendations on how much to use for a single 23L batch. I was thinking of doubling the amount of Chai spices above for the batch, but really not sure if this will be too much or not enough.
Any thoughts?
Cheers!
