Green Cardamom 50g

Green Cardamom 50g

Cardamom is a potent, aromatic spice used in brewing to add citrusy, herbal, and slightly minty notes, popular in Belgian-style wits, saisons, stouts, and holiday ales. Because it is strong, it should be used sparingly—roughly 5–7g per 20L —added late in the boil, or as a tincture to prevent overpowering the beer.

Application Methods:

• Boil: Add crushed pods in the last 10 minutes of the boil.
• Secondary: Add crushed cardamom to the secondary fermenter for a more delicate aroma.
• Tincture: Create a tincture by soaking crushed pods in vodka, then add it to the beer to taste.

Dosage: Start light (e.g., 5-7g for 5 gallons) as it can easily overwhelm the brew.
