So cumin helps add a bit of earthy/gamey flavor to meats that may not have it already?
I've had cardamom based lagers before and they hit the right notes.
Do you mean coriander?
I’ve been brewing for 20 years and have never used cardamom. I do ales 99% of the time though. I have used cardamom as part of chai tea spices with a porter recipe, but never in the boil with the wort.
I was intrigued so looked up a recipe, is yours something like this? It was the only one I could find. It sounds very good, I might have to try it.
