Upping the batch size to 5 gallons (was 4), reducing the strength of the beer. Increased the amount of DME to bring BG:GU ratio back to near original (was 0.97). Also increasing strike temp for steeping grains @ 165F to increase unfermentables, so as to increase residual sweetness. Also adding Maris Otter Malt Extract @ 15 mins so as to reduce the amount of darkening of the wort.

Notes:

Ginger bite subdued some, but still a more spicy ginger than sweet ginger than desired. Suggest leaving the ginger AS IS, but increasing the malt via some 40L/60L crystal (go with a more sweet caramel per Palmer book), and increase hops a bit to come through more at the finish. Will accept higher alcohol and darker color to get balance right. Still nice and drinkable though.

Notes:

Sweetened up some. Ginger prominent and is not as spicy/hot as when first kegged. Hops pretty subdued.

Notes:

Get a hot ginger bite. Needs to be sweeter. May sweeten with conditioning. Hops stay in the background ... nice.
