Which of the following ingredients is NOT typically used to brew a Gose?

  1. Black peppercorn

  2. Coriander

  3. Salt

  4. Wheat

The correct answer is: Black peppercorn

A Gose is a top-fermented beer that is brewed with at least 50% malted wheat in addition to barley malt, and it is spiced with both coriander and salt during the brewing process. Therefore, the ingredient that is not typically used to brew a Gose is black peppercorn. While some variations of Gose may include black peppercorn, it is not a necessary or typical ingredient in making the beer style.
