I'm trying to make a lemon-ginger cream ale. I have now only the fermented cream ale and I'm looking for tips/advice on how to get the lemon in. I've done ginger before in secondary, rough chop, frozen then added to secondary. Not sure how much/what parts to put in. Any stories??
 
Depending on how much lemon I want, I'll take 2-3 whole lemons and rinse them with a vegetable brush, lightly grate them on a grater (being careful not to get any of the white part), and then soak the zest in just enough vodka to cover it. After about an hour or so I dump it into secondary and then check it in a few days.

Never used ginger, but it seems like it would be added sparingly.
