Has anybody brewed a beer using ginseng? If so, how much did you use? How did it turn out?
Thanks!
Yes, and it came out pretty well. I’ll post some details over the weekend when I have my log in front of me.
Awesome! Thanks.
I brewed 5 gallons of a pretty standard American amber ale, but I added to the sparge water 26 oz. of ginseng tea which was made by simmering 2.25 oz. of chopped American ginseng and 1.25 oz. of whole spirit ginseng (both dried).
This was back in 2011, but I remember liking it.
Nice. I was thinking about adding it a saison. An American Amber Ale sounds interesting. Thank you for sharing!
