Hi all
I have been brewing for a few years now and have made tons of good beer by now.
But I have done very few pale ales.
I got my hands on some Mosiac hops, (11.8% 4.5 oz.) and Im thinking about using them in an APA
Its just that 4.5 oz. won´t be enough for a single hop pale ale since I make 15.5 gal. batches.
So I am thinking about using some other hop for the 60 min. and even 30 min. additions and saving the Mosiac for late and dry hopping.
But what to use? I have almost 2 lbs of Magnum so using them would be preferred but I also have a few oz. of Amarillo and Centennial plus a range of other low aa% hops.
So I ask you fellow brewers and hop heads, how would these two hops go together?
I was thinking about doing:
% Wt Weight (oz) Hop Form AA% AAU Boil Time Utilization IBU
20.0 % 1.00 Magnum Pellet 15.0 15.0 60 0.236 17.2
20.0 % 1.00 Magnum Pellet 15.0 15.0 30 0.181 13.2
20.0 % 1.00 Mosiac Pellet 11.9 11.9 15 0.117 6.8
20.0 % 1.00 Mosiac Pellet 11.9 11.9 5 0.047 2.7
20.0 % 1.00 Mosiac Pellet 11.9 11.9 DH 0.000 0.0
A simple grain bill of Pale Ale Malt, Light Crystal and CaraPils making an OG of about 1.057 and using fermentis US-05 in a half gal. starter.
I am looking for a fresh and complex APA that is drinkable and without an IPA-like hop intensity, but still hoppy.
I sure would appreciate your input on this one.
Can you help me out?
