IPA using fresh ginger root

Beer Recipe Design
1

I’ve done a few home brews kits and want to try putting something together myself…well, and the help of all of you. I was thinking about doing something like a blonde IPA using fresh ginger root. I’ve looked online but can only really find ginger beer. I’m very new at home brewing so I’m really just taking a stab in the dark (if you will) with all of this so the more information, the better.

Thanks in advance!

My feeling on spices is that they’re best if they are just barely at the limit of detection-but with an IPA you might want to go a little bigger. I’ve used ginger a few times. I’d suggest that you add it asa"dry hop"-i do this by peeling it and blanching (surface sterilise) in boiling water. 2-4 oz should do.
