Or, if you wanted a mugwort aroma, you could reverse that and boil the hops for an hour and the mugwort for the last 10 or so minutes. If you're doing the former, I would say 1oz max.

I just finished a recipe based on an old medieval recipe but I used hops, after tasting a carbed bottle, next time I am going to go traditional and use proper medieval spices (cinnamon, mugwort, licorice or star anise, juniper berries and dried nettles is what I have planned)
