Beer + Ginger???

Late to the call for help.

Isuzurover - My moto is to always give it a nudge. what's the worst that can happen, you get a less than desirable beer and it becomes a xmas present to your family. Personally I don't think it will work.

I'd like to add to Redback's recipe for cherry. I did a cherry stout. Similar recipe but with stout, choc roasted bailey and about 1 kg of cherries. Boiled like redback suggests and racked after a week. The result is rather overpowering when immature but after 6 months in the bottle it matures to a cherryripe. Smooth cherry flavours with chocolate undertones.

enjoy experimenting
