From:raphael@mail.aracnet.com (dan raphael)

• Ingredients:
• 4# DARK Syrup
• 2# amber dry
• 1# clover honey
• 3/4# crystal malt
• 1/2 #chocloate malt
• 1&1/2 oz Cascade
• 1 oz Willamette (boil)
• 1 oz Willamette (aroma)
• 3 oz fresh grated ginger root; Wyeast American ale liquid yeast

Steep crystal and chocolate. Boil malt, boil hops and honey for 35 minutes, add Ginger. Boil 20 more minutes; add aroma hops and steep 3 minutes. Pitch yeast in low 70s.

You'll be surprised. Good balance of malt, ginger and hops. Feel free to use scraps of malt syrup (first time I used 1# dark dry, a 3.3 can of M&F dark, half a 3.3 can of John Bull amber)
