Corriander seeds
Coriander is the seed of Coriandrum sativum, a plant in the parsley family. The seed is globular and almost round, brown to yellow red, and 1/5 inch in diameter with alternating straight and wavy ridges. Coriander has a mild, distinctive taste similar to a blend of lemon and sage.
- 1 tsp
Irish Moss - (omitted from calculations)
Irish Moss
A dried red-brown marine algae. Fining agent to remove large proteins. Negatively charged polymer attracts positively charged protein-tannin complexes (extracted from grain husks and hops) during the boil. This action is aided by the clumping of proteins in the boiling process. Irish moss settles to the bottom of the brew kettle with spent hops and hot break material at the end of the boil.

Hydrometer = 1.015 Nose - Faint Floral Hop. Taste - Medium Salt start followed by slight sour, no detectable bitterness. Overall I feel when served ice cold and carbonated this will be a refreshing summer drink, will bottle this weekend.
Salty with a hint of Orange

I knew I was taking a risk making a beer with salt, but All my fears were diminished when I popped open this beer tonight with my friends. The pour had a good head to it and looked like a standard wit. At first it takes you by surprise cause you aren't use to the salty start, but you forget that its there after a few sips. It has a slight orange hint and drinks smooth especially on this hot day.

This beer got a 30 which is a very good rating. It was entered as a category 23A. They did not label the style as Gose (Since it is not a recognized style) So all the judges commented that it would have gotten scores if they knew what the style was. Not knowing the style, All thought it was heavy on the salt and light on the Coriander. I will probably use a little less salt and substitute whole coriander for ground coriander. Overall comments were that it was an easy drinking beer.
