Frequently asked questions about dried ginger

When should the ginger be added?

Most common is the last few minutes of the boil. Boiling sanitizes the spice. Adding it after fermentation gives more aroma, but the ginger should then be in a clean bag.

Which beers suit ginger?

Ginger suits Christmas beers and other spiced beers, ginger beer, and pale beers together with citrus. It is often combined with cinnamon, cloves and orange peel.

How much ginger should I use?

It depends on the beer and how strong a flavour you want. Start with a little, taste the beer along the way and adjust in your next brew.
