Mmm... This beer is superb. The spices have really married to the hops now and it all works wonderfully. This one has been added to my keepers folder. A new annual brew! :-)

i do a ginger beer and throw about 90 g of rough cut unpeeled ginger thats been steeped in boiling water (with the water) into each firkin. i dont get a haze problem, i find that when adding ginger into the boil, it fades after a while while this method retains the lovely ginger flavour and aroma. obviously this isnt much help if your bottling it! :mrgreen:

I like the idea of adding it later. Dark Star brewery down here add Chinese stem ginger to 'secondary'. May experiment with that.
