Hey all,

I'm planning on making a spiced version of a brown ale that I made previously as a winter ale. I had previously made the base recipe (itself an adaptation of the Dogfish Head Indian Brown Ale recipe from Sam Caligione's book) from extract only, but I converted it to partial mash, scaled back the hops, and used Jamil's spicing schedule with it. What do y'all think? Anything you would recommend about the hopping or spicing schedule? Also, would you leave the sliced ginger in for fermentation or leave it in the kettle after cooling and racking into the fermenter?
