WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.

Used 3.25 gallons on brew day, added an additional gallon of filtered and de-chlorinated water at pitch.

After Primary fermentation was complete - added 4 oz. of ginger extract into secondary fermentation vessel.

1 week into secondary — added 1 lb. of peeled and sliced ginger root.
