Notes

2 pkg of US-05, rehidrated.
Primary Fermentation @ 18c. Secondary @ 22c.
Short condition (1 week) @ 10c.
Sliced root ginger at 10 min boil (3 grams per liter).
Few more grams per liter during aging to adjust to your taste (thats why I do the conditioning process, not required for other reasons, just to adjust ginger flavor intensity). This step is performed by using Ginger extract / tee , 2g per liter, directly into the fermenter.
