Make a strong dark beer. Say a porter using about 9-10 lb of malt extract. You want a good alc kick to go with the medicinal kick of the ginger.
Add an OZ of dried ginger for 30 minutes of boil. Usually they sell a package of this stuff at the homebrew store and its 1 OZ dried.
Do not add any aroma hops , you want to smell ginger and nutmeg , not hops .
Keep the bittering hops low , say 1 OZ at 30 minutes of a 4 Alpha Acid (or lower) hop. Then 1/2 OZ of a spicy hop like Saaz at 15 minutes of boil. No aroma hops at knockout.
The nutmeg you add at the very end after turning the fire off. Add a lot but you can also grind some fresh into the beer glass just like you would when doing egg nog.
