Hey everyone,
I bought 10 ounces of Mosaic hops. They are i think 12.3AA. Its a sister to Simcoe, and I am looking for either an IPA or APA to really show off the hops and see what they are all about. This will probably be my second attempt at a BIAB/AG recipe. I am still in the learning phase, but have a pretty good understanding of how hops work and when to add them. I was going to use the 3 Floyds Zombie Dust recipe, since they use all Citra, but just use the Mosaic hops instead. Does this seem like a good idea?
The Zombie Dust recipe is a total of 8 ounces, using 3 for dry hopping for 10 days. I have been looking a the hop schedule and it seems good. Or do you think a SMaSH would be a better option to show off the flavors. Here is the ZD recipe for reference. I am open to any and all solid IPA/APA recipes. Thanks!
