Yeesh! What have I done?

The first taste of this one (before bottling) was bitter in the extreme, probably too much ginger or ginger too long in the secondary. Tried correcting by adding some malto-dextrine and about 1/2 pound of honey to the priming sugar mix. The finished product was much sweeter and heavier than expected but comments received when we rolled it out were mostly positive. We'll brew this one again after a few tweaks.
