I am trying to do a little experimenting with flavors. Recently had a great grapefruit ginger beer from the Shiner brewery in Texas and loved it.
Here is my recipe so far. What are your thoughts?
Briess Pilsen Extra Light Liquid Extract 6 lbs, 0 oz
Briess 2 Row Caramel 10 0 lbs, 8 oz
Weyermann Cara Foam 0 lbs, 4 oz
Glacier Pellets 1 oz @ 60 mins
Nelson Sauvin, NZ Pellets 1 oz @ 30 mins
Cluster Pellets 1 oz @ Dry
White Labs California Ale
My other question is that someone told me that I need to start with 1-2 pounds of ginger for a 5 gallon batch. That seems like it will be WAY to ginger-y. I was thinking maybe 3-5 ounces at 5 minutes left in the boil or so. Can anyone give me some guidance there?
