Brewing a coastal evac clone today

Yes today brew session. Do a coastel evac. Gonna use. Maris otter. End caramel. Malt as my grain bill. But been thinking about. Adding coriander and. Star annis. About 30 min into the brew. Never did use starannis before. Think will be adding 3 pieces on a 7 gal boil

Star Anise sounds interesting as an additive. Seems to be used in blonde ales as well as Belgian styles, but also saw a black IPA that incorporated it. 1-3 stars per 5 gallon batch.

Think me per 10 gal boil. 3 star annis. Smells nice. When i did open the package. Me waiting for. Strike water to warm up and getting ready for the mash
