I'm looking to start brewing again. I used to brew beer, but I want to brew fruit wines and meads now. I'd love to make an alcoholic ginger ale or ginger mead. Anyone have a good recipe? I'd like for it to be sweet with a really strong ginger flavor.

I don't have a recipe, but I primarily make mead. I'm curious if it would be better for ginger to be added in primary or secondary. Adding it in secondary might be better for that clean ginger flavor.

I'd just follow a simple plain mead recipe and rack it to secondary with some fresh ginger. Probably would remove the ginger after 3-4 days.
