Mosaic/Galaxy IPA recipe critique

[JoeSpartaNJ]

It seems like every new IPA I try has a Mosaic and Galaxy hop combo and I cannot get enough of it, so I decided to throw together a recipe I hope will continue my appreciation of these hops.

I am using Columbus for bittering as I have some cones laying around and this will be my first time using sugar to boost ABV and dry it out the beer some. I may also consolidate the base malt to either regular 2-Row or the Marris Otter. I usually use US-05 but also saved slurry from my all Columbus IPA I made that I can make a starter and use.

Let me know what you think.


7 lbs 8.0 oz Pale Malt (2 Row)
7 lbs 8.0 oz Pale Malt, Maris Otter
8.0 oz Caramel/Crystal Malt - 40L
8.0 oz Corn Sugar (Dextrose) [Boil for 5 min]

0.5 oz Columbus (Tomahawk) [14.00 %] - Boil 60.
2.00 oz Mosaic (HBC 369) [12.25 %] - Boil 10.0
2.00 oz Galaxy [14.00 %] - Boil 5.0 min
2.00 oz Mosaic (HBC 369) [12.25 %] - Boil 5.0 min
1.00 oz Galaxy [14.00 %] - Boil 2.0 min

2.00 oz Citra [12.00 %] - Dry Hop 5.0 Days Hop 11 0.0 IBUs

I made a galaxy / pacific Jade IPA recently and all I can offer is that I thinks it's wise not to bitter with the galaxy, there's a bit of lingering bitterness that I'm not fond of in an otherwise excellent beer.

I've been using 1 lb of corn sugar in my IPA recently for what it's worth.

This looks like a great recipe, let us know how it turns out.

I've been brewing Mosaic IPAs and Galaxy IPAs, but never both hops in the same beer. I would expect they'd compliment each other very well.
