What the $%#& is this?

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.

Part of a hop cone.

A hop fairy wing  ;D

I think Gold Member was standing over your boil kettle

Looks like a hop petal to me are you using whole hops?

Looks like onion skin. You using any Summit hops? :wink:

Nope, various pellets.

I see leaves in my fermenter when I dry hop with pellets.

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

Hop cone or wasp wing. You decide.

(Please be wasp wings)
