Last night a mate and I had our first crack at a AG Ginger Ale (recipe below), smells & tastes quite spicey going into primary but it just isn't gingery enough. We were hoping for a nice ginger bite from the brew. We transfered the chunks of ginger root into the primary fermentors after the boil.
I was thinking about putting another 100g crushed ginger in each fermentor .. what do you guys think?
