It gets better as it ages in the keg
Um, Not quite sure how it's gonna be!

Well I brewed this recipe for about 56 bucks and the taste so far is nothing great. Not sure we really want to keep it. It is still in the keg carbonating on day two, and were hoping it well have a better taste after a week. Ill repost any update good or bad.
Age required

I would suggest aging it in the keg for at least a month. I still have this on tap about four months after brewing and the ginger finally has mellowed. I plan on bottling some of it and aging it in the cellar.
