What to do with a LOT of ginger

[Guest guest]

Hey all - I have half a veggie box full of organic ginger that I have been

fortuitously given. I would love suggestions as to what to do with it - all

ideas are welcome. I have some inklings already, but nothing thrilling,

especially to use up such a large quantity! I'm especially interested in

the idea of a traditional-foods-friendly fermented ginger drink that would

use a LOT of it, either an alcoholic or non alcoholic form, but I'm at a

loss for what to do towards that. I may have access to a friend's

homebrewing supplies if that helps at all. Thanks for any clues!

PS - petitions to take some of it off my hands also considered ; )
