Notes

Based on a disappointing recent sample of Marble Ginger and a Twitter discussion with an ex-Marble brewer, I wanted to make something killer fiery so I doubled his recommended ginger additions.

Day 3 - Boil Honey with water and 5g dried ginger. Strained, cooled and add.

Day 5 - Rack to secondary, add fine sliced fresh ginger in bag, add some brandy to the dried ginger, stick it in a bag, add to secondary.

Priming sugar boiled with water and 5g dried ginger.
