Hi ho there!
Just wondering if you guys worry about sanitising ginger if it's going in the fermenter? I'm making a ginger ale for Christmas and I added ginger in the boil and then again during secondary. I went to add another lot this morning (still tasted like it could do with another ginger kick) and there was a bit of dirt and such mixed in with the ginger. I put 1/2 ml of iodiser with 1 litre of water and soaked the ginger for a few minutes. I'm pretty sure this was a stupid idea but I didn't want to risk the whole batch on some but of dirt.
I googled but couldn't really find anything.
