Facepalm moment

Thought you home cooks would enjoy this with me...

I'm doing a one gallon batch of a new recipe... so I'm in a pot on the stove.

Well... um... whenever I'm boiling for pasta (often), I add a dash of salt to the water...

Yeah...... added salt to my wort...... it was an automatic movement.

Brew day shifted to tomorrow......

Sigh.

Still gonna drink beer, of course...

Did you then make pasta??

Gose is a style brewed with salt! Just had one and the salt isn't really there in the flavor, just kinda adds a little something. You could have had a weird Gose-esque style!

As a brewer of many miscalculated mistakes and numb skull moments, I appreciate this post.

How much salt did you add? If it wasn't a ton, id let it ferment and see how it comes out!

It was a good three finger pinch of ground sea salt from a bowl. In a 1 gallon batch, that was sure to be noticed. You're right...... should've boiled pasta in the wort to see what happens! Alas, I dumped it immediately. Well... immediately after cursing.

Haha that reminds me of when my mom once by accident grabbed the salt instead of the sugar for a pie.

So, you added a few more ppm of sodium and a few more ppm of chloride to your wort. I wouldn't sweat it.

Alas, I dumped it immediately.

Noooo!

I would still have gone through the motions. I commonly add a dash of salt to my glass of beer.
