@rxheaven13b It was a nylon or polyester mesh kind of fabric. I went with her to the fabric store and tested the fabrics out for strength and durability. After bringing it home, I re-tested it for strength and durability in boiling water. Everything was great so we went ahead.
Much better with the fresh ginger and fresh lemon juice in the keg. The fresh flavours really brighten up the beer, and even accentuate the grainy-ness. I'll be brewing this one again for sure.
I just tasted this beer: it turned out great, but surprisingly mild on the rye and the ginger flavour. Great amber-brown colour. Some ginger in the aroma, as well as dark caramel. I just chopped up another 100g of ginger, put it into a hop sock, and hung it in the corny keg (dry-gingering?). I also added the juice of a lemon and a bit of fresh lemon zest to the keg. I'll let you know how it tastes in a few days.
Good stuff mate! I'd try and aerate the wart when transferring to the fermenter. That's just how I roll.

@twedder: There is no better way to go than BIAB for efficiency (extraction efficiency, time efficiency, and $ efficiency).
