Misc. ingredients (e.g. Irish Moss by volume)

Open dkoppenh opened this issue 12 years ago • 3 comments

I couldn't find a place to note my Irish Moss addition. Granted, that's more of a "process" than "recipe" thing, but it'd be nice to have.

You can add these in the spices table and just give them a name, weight, and time (e.g. last 5 minutes). In Malt.io both hops and miscs are considered spices, and certain spices can be given an optional alpha acid equivalent rating (e.g. you could track how bitter orange peel adds to the perceived IBU). There's more to come in that space as time permits and I can figure out a way to test some of these ideas.

Ah, OK. Maybe renaming the "Spices" section/item... "Other additions" (or something) to make it more general?

Also, I typically measure Irish Moss by volume, not weight. Should I open another request for volume measurements?

This task should be fine for that. I'm going to investigate how to handle the weight vs. volume thing and see what I can come up with.
