I will be making a batch of ginger beer using the Mangrove Jacks brand extract kit. Ive made this kit before, it works great and its pretty tasty. However, we like our ginger beer bitey and peppery, and this kit leans more mild.
I presume that I can kick it up using some fresh ginger, but unsure of the method. Ive thought of boiling some shaved ginger and straining the water into the fermenter, or instead putting the shaved ginger in a cheesecloth bag and adding to the fermenter to sit until its time to bottle.
Does anyone suspect either of those methods is a better choice, or perhaps a method I havent thought of?
Thanks guys!
