This beer cannot be further away from the reiheidts gebod.
So started by fermenting a plain amber lme unhopped.
While that was in primary, i boiled 1.2kg of fresh ginger and one box of dried ginger in 1L of oloroso sherry for 20 minutes. Once cooled down, i added another 2L of sherry, and let it steep. For a week. I then added 200gr honey, and 1kg brown sugar, zest of 1 lemon with juice and about 60ml or west indian orange bitters.
I boiled it of course.
Now bubbeling away on a second fermentation. Will see what happens in the next 10 days.
Will adjust spiciness with some chillies that has been steeping in vodka for a month before bottling day.

A bit bland.
Needs more ginger. And maybe lactose. Gonna boil some lactose with 4 boxes of dried ginger and my priming sugar then bottle and hope for the best.
