I am going to attempt my first Gruit in a couple of weeks and was wondering if anyone here has any experience brewing them. I am going to attempt a rather traditional Gruit but a bit more complex with the herbs and spices that I add.
What I know nothing about are amounts and boil times for the various herbs. Here is what I have come up with:
1.00oz Mugwort @ 60min
2.00oz Dandelion Root @ 30min
0.50oz Chamomile flower @ 10min
1.00oz Spruce tips @ 10min
2.00oz Bog Myrtle (Sweet Gale) @ 10min
2.00oz Juniper Berries @ 10min
2 vanilla beans in secondary.
As I have read, I plan on a 1.00oz FWH addition of Saaz mainly for the purpose of preservation.
The grain bill (all-grain) is pale 2-row with a wide selection of specialty malts to build complexity.
Any thoughts? Revisions? Criticism?
