I cant imagine it will affect the taste too much.

One thing I will say though is if you want a bit of sweetness left, dont let it ferment out too much or its very dry in taste.

I have a Ginger beer thread somewhere on here, do a search and it should come up.

Next time I will either add more grated ginger or a few teasoons of ground ginger for some more kick!

cheers
