Ginger

[Glot]

Ginger Beer as a soft drink is often made with dried ground ginger. Any reason why everyone uses fresh in here? If anyone has tried dried, what sort of amounts did you find satisfactory? Dried herbs and spices usually have stronger flavours.
Also, Rosella crushed fresh ginger in the bottle only has some vinegar added. Does anyone see an issue with this? It's half the price of whole ginger root.

If your talking about Bundaberg Brewed Drinks (Bunderberg Ginger Beer) they don't use dried ground ginger, they use sliced dried ginger that they gind in house. The dried ginger you buy in the supermarket is darker and a totally different flavour.

It's worth going to an asian grocer for ginger - in my experience they often have it at about half the supermarket price
