I used wyeast..this is good but not the same. I mashed around 148 to 149. This needs to age a bit but is not bad at all. I read a lot about using the yeast from the bottle and making a yeast starter with it. have not attempted this yet. Ginger can be dry or fresh. ABV 8.9 The DT yeast brings fg much lower..I just played with this..I read people stepped up th DT yeast and got FG of 1.007 an lower..ABV 8 to 9%. I just tryed to get something close..Let me know if anyone had used DT yeast..What I read was a mix of Wyeast strong ale & safale04?? Any how IBU 21 to 22 range. I might attempt with DT yeast next.
