Notes

Put Ginger-root in at 10min to sterilize - leaving ginger in during primary fermentation. Rack to secondary after 7 days without ginger-root. Leave in secondary 7 days with additional 200g ginger (grated). Tertiary 3 days to clear before bottling.

I have brewed this 3 times now, with only minor adjustments of Cara additions and a bit more Citra at 10min. Wife loves it, and other brew-friends also. :-)
