We are basically brewing into the unknown, but I know it will be a great introduction, and with good tasting notes, we should be able to make the right kinds of improvements. Check back sometime in January for the results.

I'd be interested to hear about the flavor profiles. We're all so trained to taste hop flavors.I guess you'll have to just approach it like it isn't beer at all.Did you use some kind of herbal tea or remedy recipes as you base?Adamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08522250477305289784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3537147682557117770.post-72955926241908499222007-12-04T10:21:00.000-06:002007-12-04T10:21:00.000-06:00I want to know how the ginger beer turns out.

We were talking about doing one of those ourselves.With this process, did you just mash like 5 gallons of base wort and make four different boil mixes? Pretty innovative way to do some cool micro batches. I'll bet that would be a fun thing to do with a heffe or some other light beer and make a whole bunch of different additions to each one.Cheers!Travishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08293454329758079937noreply@blogger.com
