For those who have used Mosaic

[two_hearted]

I picked up a couple ounces and plan on using them in a pale ale. What do they play well with? Better in the kettle or as a dry hop?

I have amarillo, centennial, columbus, cascade, summit, citra, simcoe (maybe) that I could put in the mix.

I tasted an all Mosaic brew that someone did. It would play well with all of the hops you listed. It is supposed to be related to Simcoe. It has a more fruity flavor than simcoe.

 

[Moonlighter]

Only made one brew, an IPA. I'd suggest late additions and dry hop. After ten days on the dry hop got a nice earthy flavor, don't think I'd call it grassy. Anyhow I was very pleased with these hops. I think they'd work well with the Centennial, Cascade and Citra as well as the Simcoe, I think they were derived from Simcoe? Don't know about the Amarillo, haven't used that one yet. I plan on pairing it with Citra next time, all flameout with a good long steep and then a 7-10 day dry hop.

I'm interested in this as well. I have a pound of whole leaf that I need to do something with. I had planned on treating them like I would citra or centennial. If there are any proven recipes out there, I would love to see them.

Did a basic IPA, turned out fantastic. Extract recipe

5 gallon batch

7# light LME
2# light DME
8 oz Crystal 60
8 oz Honey Malt

1 oz.Magnum 14.0 60 min
1 oz Mosaic 13.2 5 min
1 oz Mosaic 13.2 flameout
20 minute steep
Fermented three weeks in Primary then racked to keg &
2 oz Mosaic dry hop

After two weeks the beer was fantastic. I just left the hops in the keg as I liked the flavor I was getting but you might consider pulling them at around 10 days. The beer was a little sweet but conditioned well.

Next time I will cut back on the honey malt and up the Mosaic, and do only flameout and dry hop with the Mosaic

I have a rye pale ale in the fermenter that was all Mosaic, but I've got a few more weeks before I taste the results.

I'd mix them with some of the centennial or columbus you have on hand, but that's just my preference - I tend to steer clear from total fruit bombs.

MMMM fruit bombs. I'm in the middle of a quandry with this hop. As much as I want to do a single hop beer to see what kind of flavors it's capable of, I also know that it would probably benefit from some added depth of hop character. As hard as Mosaci is to acquire, I don't want to waste it on a single hop beer when I could get a potentially better beer with a more complicated hop schedule.

Maybe I'll do the zombie dust clone with Mosaic instead...

Well, I'm taking the recipe for Two Hearted and scaling down the base malt to make a 5-6% pale ale. I doubled the grains so I can mash once and make 2 5 gallon batches.

One batch will be all centennial a la 2H. The other batch I want to use some mosaic.

I'm thinking
.5 centennial @ 60
.5oz centennial @ 15
.5 oz columbus @ 15
.5 oz centennial @ 5
.5 oz columbus @ 5
.5 oz mosaic, centennial, columbus @ whirlpool

dry hop with mosaic, centennial and columbus

I've used mosaic heavily by itself and it does well.


Also used it with Amarillo - worked great together. I'd say the Amarillo rounded it out very nicely. Cascade seems like it would work well too IMHO.

 

[rafaelpinto]

A brazilian brewery recently released a Double IPA with Omnipollo, its called Polimango. It tasted it yesterday and would say that its one of the best IPAs I ever had.

Anyway, it has this Columbus, Centennial and Mosaic combo. AMAZING!

i used cent for bittering then mosaic @30, 15, 5, 1 - real nice brew

Citra and Mosaic play well together. Deschutes Fresh Squeezed IPA uses both and it's awesome.
