Beer Style: Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer  (21A)
Recipe Type: extract
Yield: 5 US gallons

Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer

Description:

My long-term taste bud memory says this was brown, bitter, and slightly sweet with a great ginger flavor and tingle at the back of the throat as it went down. It was overcarbonated (7/8 cup of priming sugar is too much!) I wish I could tell you how much ginger I used, but I remember I wished it were more. Go for it! I've found nothing better to drink with Chinese food.

Ingredients:

  • 3.3 pounds, Munton & Fison dark plain malt extract
  • 1-1/2 pounds, Munton & Fison plain dark dry extract
  • 1 cup, corn sugar
  • 3/4 pound, crystal malt
  • 1/2 pound, chocolate malt
  • hunk, ginger, grated
  • 2 ounces, Cascade hops (boil)
  • 1 ounce, Fuggles hops (finish)
  • ale yeast
