I want to make a "holiday saison" or biere de noel using wyeast 3711 french saison or European ale yeast respectively. I want to add a classic orange/clove flavor, though not overpowering--just a hint or note. Anyone use this combo or more specifically the clove. I don't want this to be medicinal. Is 6-8 grams in 10 gallons enough or too much?
