My first ginger Belgian turned out so well that my wife demanded that I make another!
Brew Day: 18 Apr 2019
Partial Mash:
8 oz Munich
2 oz flaked wheat
Boil (20 min):
1 lb golden light DME
8 oz table sugar
~1 oz thinly-sliced ginger added to the last 10 min of the boil (in a hop bag)
Hops: 14 g German Perle (@ 20 min)
Yeast: BE-134
Addendum, 2 May: Transferred to secondary.
Addendum, 30 May: Bottled; got 9 good bottles and one partial re-purposed soda bottle.
Tasting Notes, 25 June: These notes aren't the result of the first taste, but more so the result of repeated statements made by my wife about how much she LOVES this beer! I really enjoy the beer as it's clearly a Belgian and the addition of the ginger really adds a nice flavor to it. I can really get a nice ginger "burn" at the end of the taste. My wife, on the other hand, likens this to the sah'ti that she likes, even though this beer has no juniper. ;-) However, the point is that she really, REALLY enjoys this beer, and that's really all that matters.
