I thought it might be useful to summarise this interesting thread.
Thanks to StoutMan for coming up with the idea.
Most of these posted Unlocked Ingredients happen at fairly elevated levels but, of course, lots of Ingredients are unlocked early and more often at lower levels before you get to the levels posted on here.
I'll add new posts, but also will keep updating this one as unlocks happen.

Other achievements which do not appear to have led to unlocking ingredients

Sell 100,000 Beers

Brew 100,000 Beers

Additionally, Belgian Trappist Ale Yeast was unlocked, questionably for donating 1,500 beers, but that's probably not correct. At a guess, it's more likely to be for achieving 150 Purple Hearts.
Anyway, there are clear patterns here, so keep playing the game, and hopefully you now have a better idea what to aim for.
