Here's a 5-gallon session IPA recipe I'm putting together:
3.5# US 2-row
3.5# Maris Otter
1.5# Munich
0.5# Carafoam
0.25 oz Mosaic FWH
0.25 oz Galaxy FWH
0.75 oz Mosaic Whirlpool 20 min
0.75 oz Galaxy Whirlpool 20 min
2 oz Mosaic Dry-hop 7 days
2 oz Galaxy Dry-hop 7 days
Denny's Favorite yeast (Wyeast 1450) - stir plate starter (750 mL)
11-day primary @ 65F
9-day secondary @ 65F + dry hop
Keg at 44F
The goal here is a super-drinkable (at least in terms of ABV) hop showcase. I've used Mosaic in a SMaSH beer and absolutely loved them, so I want to experiment further with an unusual pairing. The complete absence of boil hops might be a bit unusual, but I'm thinking it might help smooth out the overall bitterness profile.
Any thoughts or opinions? Feedback is greatly appreciated!
