I absolutely intend for this to have a BIG EXPLOSIVE ginger flavor, like alcoholic Vernor's or any of the super-premium Ginger soda's out there. Only starting with 4 Oz. Ginger, may be adjusted for amount/time later on. Please comment with any suggestions.

How did the ginger flaver come out? Looking for a good ginger flavor to make Dark and Stormyies.

Thanks for commenting, I haven't had a chance to brew this one, as I am between jobs. I will let you know as soon as I do.
