I'm about to do my first larger batch, and am only used to flavoring during second fermentation with swing tops. At which point in the process would you put things like ginger/lemon zest in/ how long? I assume if I'm just doing juice and throw it into the fermenter after I pull the scoby out.
Hey! So I am actually going through the same upgrade (SS 7 GAL). I will also be using a fermenter heating wrap with a temperature controller to keep the brew at a certain temperature, and just force carbonate in the keg.
