I've removed the rice from the brew, which made it a little too dry. Also eliminated from the second batch was the corriander as it just wasn't needed. Also, the fresh ginger came out kind of woody tasting, so I replaced it this time around with candied ginger. I'll post updates when I see how the second batch turns out.
