When we were in Ecuador a while back we had a really good Ginger Beer. It was light and refreshing with a good taste of ginger but not overpowering. I think this would be a great beer for the summer which is just around the corner. I don't want to make ginger ale. I want to make a ginger beer. I was thinking of a light ale and adding some fresh grated ginger possibly to the boil and the secondary or maybe just the secondary. I know from cooking that ginger is very strong and can very easily become overpowering so it probably won't take much. Just don't have a feel for it at this time.
Edit: I notice that a lot of recipes don't treat as a beer with some ginger added but use a lot of sugar/honey/brown sugar/molasses fermentibles. Be curious as to why.
Any ideas or recipes that anyone might want to share.
