What the $%#& is this?
« on: January 15, 2014, 07:09:23 pm »
Brewed a 1 gallon extract kit tonight w. speciality grains and noticed this stuff floating around. Is it some grain that escaped the muslin bag, a part of the hop pellet? It looks like little pieces of lettuce.

interesting.  Perhaps not all the hop material was ground up and the pelletizing left some petals fairly intact.
It does look like a hop flower petal.  No reason to cuss.  ;D



I get some coir twine floaters when using whole hops sometimes  :o
