I'm just getting into homebrewing myself, just did 1 batch of a kit beer and was slightly dissapointed with the results and am now trying my hand out at a wit beer with ginger and lemongrass am thinking about 0.17oz (each) for a 18litre brew.

Moving from electric stove-top brewing to propane burner will reduce carmelization, and I hope this also reduces sweetness and makes the beer lighter. That should bring out more of the ginger flavor! 5oz definitely added a ginger aroma and slight flavor, though I think I’ll try 6 or 7oz next time and also aim to make the beer a little less sweet.

It's better for it to keep fermenting than to stop early, I'd say! When I bottled that recipe of grand cru I also found that it did best with a couple of months of bottle conditioning. After 5 months in the bottle it was delicious! I found that the Who’s in the Garden Grand Cru fermented a bit longer than most ales, going for at least 3-4 weeks before it settled down.

I did the Who's in the Garden Grand Cru. Did yours keep fermenting for a longer time than other beers? Mine has been in the bucket for almost 3 weeks now and I"m still getting bubbles in the air lock about every 20 seconds! I tried my first brew out of Complete Joy of Homebrewing recently.
