### How does the Other Ingredients box work in the recipe editor?

This is a free-form section for adding anything else the recipe calls for. Examples include Irish Moss, yeast nutrient, flavors, spices, etc. \
\
None of these values impact the recipe stats. If you want something like raw fruit to change the gravity, that would need to be added as a custom fermentable. \
\
This section also provides a place to input the priming method, amount, and CO2 Level. These fields are all optional.\
Examples:\
Method: Dextrose, Amount: 3.5oz, CO2 Level: 2.2 Volumes\
Method: Keg, Amount: 11.2 psi @ 40F, CO2 Level: 2.4
