So I just posted 3 pics of my version vs the original. Mine is on the left and I'm happy to say the clearer of the 2. And honestly I like mine better. This time I used 1oz each Mosaic and Amarillo to dry hop so mine is happier but in a citrusy way. Amazing, I'm so so happy I switched to all-grain.
 
Was looking for a Summer beer to brew and found this as a recommendation on crafted pours. I top cropped some WLP005 from an English IPA I brewed earlier this month so I will try it with that.
I also have some low colour British crystal malt from Warminster.
It has a colour of about 40L so it should be similar to carastan.

All I need to decide is if I make a close-as-possible clone and stick with just Amarillo as the dry hop or maybe add some Mosaic too. :cool:
 
I just made my 2016 version of this with Simcoe to bitter, then all Amarillo. Its really great. I used Imperial Organic Yeast "House" strain which is WLP 007/Wyeast 1098.

Sounds tasty.
I'm still planning my spring/summer brew schedule, starting in the middle of May I'm "trying" to limit it to 6 five gallon beers.
A more sessionable Raging Bitch, Raspberry Wheat, Hopfen Weisse, Centennial Blonde and a Fresh Squeezed IPA will be the first 5.

The last one will be a Twilight or a Daisy Cutter.

Before the time comes I will probably have discovered another 5 great recipes and change my mind about 10 times :drunk:

Looks great.

Must say I never though of a Summit/Mosaic hop combination before.
Do they go well together?
Or is it a case of "Mosaic tastes great with everything"? :p
 
Shenanigans,

Completely a random substitution. Went LHBS to pick up grain and Amarillo as I was planning to make something a little more along the lines of what Tim Brews did, just a Mosaic/Amarillo combo. But they were out of Amarillo. So, a quick Google of "Amarillo hop substitute" while there brought up Cascade, Centennial, Summit and Ahtanum. I've never used Summit, so why not?
I've read everything from orange to pepper to grapefruit to tangerine. I'm getting a little more tangerine on the first couple of pints.
But, yes, the decision to try something new was made easier knowing it was going with Mosaic.

OK that's clear thanks for your repy.
Buy maybe I should have said "Everything tastes great with Mosaic"
One or both :)
