18,700.6 gal + 5.5 gal Island Hopper Double IPA + 5.5 gal Imperial Coffee Brown Ale + 5.5 gal West Coast Red Ale ____________ 18,717.1 gallons!

Yea just to experiment. My BIPA with the Carafa III is delicious, but does have a subtle roast bitterness and astringency that takes about 6 weeks in the bottles to smooth out. With the massive amount of dry hops and late hops I put into it, I didn't want to have to wait that long and have the...

Let us know how it turns out. I'm going to be using midnight wheat in a black ipa I'm making soon, and I'm also interested in how it effects the head. I think I'm going to add a half pound of flaked oats though. Do you guys know how the flavor from the midnight wheat is compared to carafaIII...

I probably should have given a grain bill percentage, not weight, since its a double black ipa recipe. My normal recipe is 16lb 2-row, 1lb carafaIII, 1 lb crystal60. This means that even though I use a full pound of carafa, it only makes up 5% of the grain bill. With that in mind, are you saying...

**BUMP** It's been awhile, so does anyone have any results from using the Midnight Wheat? I was thinking about replacing the pound of Carafa III in my black IPA recipe with this malt.

Thanks guys, the hospital is keeping him for another 24 hours since his temp still won't come down below 102. I'm confident he's going to be fine, so now it's time to face the $1500 bill this is costing me!

Happened to my lab Jack tonight. He's still in the emergency clinic but his temp is starting to come down now. He ate about an ounce of spent leaf hops out of the compost pile, and started panting heavily a few hours later. By the time we got him to the emergency clinic his temp was at 105. The...

Haha yea 4.5oz over 3 dry hops is pretty nuts... I got the idea from the 'Can you brew it' podcast with Kern River's Citra IPA that won gold in the GABF for IPA in 2011. I basically used the same dry hop schedule but instead of Citra and Amarillo I went with Mosaic and Simcoe (with a little...

I ended up taking silver in the Peach State Brew Off this past weekend with my Mosaic IPA. Here's the recipe and hop schedule that I used: 60min Mash @152F 60min Boil 13# Maris Otter 1# crystal 20 1# victory 1# flaked oats White Labs 002 English Ale yeast (fermented @ 67F) 1.75...

Terrapin beer company (out of Athens, GA) just released their new side-project: Mosaic. It's a red rye hopped with all mosaic hops. Here's a link to the description and a picture of their awesome label for it...

Thanks Ed! Like the others said, I don't think you could have explained it any better.

I'm pretty new to the site and I wanted to know how the trading works. Do you guys trade home brew or just craft stuff? Is it technically legal? I'd really like to try and trade for some beers that aren't sold in my region, but wasn't sure how this process works. Thanks guys!

I completely agree. Now that my ipa has been in the keg for a few weeks the fruit has calmed down a little bit, but it's still definitely all fruit bomb and no dank. Unless you're really into that, this hop should be combined with more dank C hops to balance out the fruit.

I think that 1# each of honey and crystal 10 would be fine in this grain bill. Reason being is that each only accounts for roughly 6% of the total grain bill (if you include the extract). With a bigger beer you need more specialty grain. If this was a lighter pale ale, say 1.050 OG, then I would...

I ended up going a little crazy with my late and dry hops- Whirlpool hop steep: 1oz Mosaic 1oz Falconer's Flight 2oz Simcoe 1st Dry Hop (pellets in hop bag in secondary for 4 days): 1oz Mosaic .5oz Falconer's Flight 2nd Dry Hop (removed 1st bag and replaced): 1oz Mosaic 1oz...

+5.5 Mosaic IPA +5.5 Wifey's Belgian Wit +5.5 smoked wheat Gratzer +10 Oatmeal Stout = 7398.25

Ended up brewing this yesterday: 13# Maris Otter 1# crystal 20 1# victory 1# flaked oats White Labs 002 English Ale yeast -1.75 oz Magnum 60 min -2oz Simcoe, 1oz Mosaic, 1oz Falconer's Flight all at 0 min (these were added after dropping temp to 180F, then steeped for 10 minutes). -1oz...

Great advice and great thread! I read the whole thing last night. Ill be trying that method this weekend.

I appreciate the advice. I've never thought of doing a steep, but it makes more sense than a 0 minute especially since I don't own a wort chiller and it'll take me ~35 minutes to get to pitching temps in the ice bath.

I'm brewing an IPA with Mosaic and Falconer's Flight both for the first time this weekend, here's the recipe: 60 min mash @ 150F 60 min boil 14# Maris Otter .625# Victory .625# Cara40 White Labs 002 English 2oz Magnum @ 60 min 1oz Mosaic @ 0 min 1oz Falconer @ 0 min 1oz...
