| notes | string | ||

Miscellaneous ingredients that are not hops, fermentables, yeasts/cultures or water. Some people would call these “non-fermentable adjuncts”, but there are also narrower definitions of “adjunct”, so we do not use that term. Also often referred to as “other ingredients”, but we already use “other” in a lot of classifications, so we prefer “miscellaneous” as abbreviated to “misc”.
MiscIngredientBase is a JSON object with the following properties:
