I think your best bet for bittering is the ginger. There are recipes here for ginger beer, but they seem to use more ginger than you're talking about. It's an interesting challenge.

Why don't you toast some of the 2-row before brewing it to create some more flavor and body? And..... hops?

Thanks. I guess this falls into the category of "pleasant surprises." So, if I want to dilute it to session beer ABV levels, do you recommend that I do so before pitching the yeast (I'm doing no-chill, so I haven't done so yet) or at the end of the primary?

OK, so I got excited reading the BIAB thread, and there was a sale on turkey fryers before Thanksgiving, so I decided to put down the extract and go for it - drilled a hole in the 30 qt. aluminum kettle, bought a ball valve and a pack of paint strainers, and boom! I'm brewing! My first batch...

I can't believe I read this whole thread! But I have been inspired. Got the 30G Turkey fryer, paint strainer bags, and working on converting the fryer from LPG to NG. Looking forward to a new chapter in brewing!
