RHUBARB - Question re. addition of Ginger

[Ange]

Hi Readers, on this bright and wet wet wet Sunday, I plan to try a Rhubarb wine soon and would like to add Ginger. The recipes I have however suggest fresh ginger. Would it be possible to use powdered Ginger as I have loads of that??

Thanks,

Ange

You tend to get a sort of powdery taste from ground ginger, rather than the fresher, more natural taste of fresh grated ginger. Plus it might make for a bit of a bugger to rack it out. Grated ginger is easy enough to remove, and lets face it, it's not dear from the supermarkets is it......

..and you can store grated ginger whole in the freeze - grate from frozen and return it to freezer.
