Ginger question

[DogFlynnHead]

Just brewed a ginger saison. Added the crystallized ginger with 1 min left in 60 min boil. When I poured it into the carboy i noticed the pea sized ginger cubes I added hadn't dissolved completely. I was following a recipe, do you think this is right? Or should they have been totally dissolved?

I can't really say much to the ginger, but I have brewed a wheat beer and I left some orange zest into my carboy and nothing happen. I imagine it is probably the same.

Crystallized ginger, if I'm thinking about the same thing, won't dissolve completely. It still has some of the tuber-ish properties of the original ginger.
