Anyone have good experiences with 2015 Mosaic & Citra? If so where did you purchase?
 
Is this the kit from homebrew supply you're talking about? I hope so, that ones in my on deck circle.

Yeah, ive seen this kit online recently but its really expensive I think $60 bucks. Therecipe on thread is spot on...very good I made it a couple of months back so I would try that and save some money its cheaper than the kit.
 
Build it from scratch if you can from your LHBS based on the recipe(s) in this thread. I've made it a few times both as-is and with minor modifications due to what I thought I had on had and it is always good.

Citra + Mosaic = yum.

And oddly enough, even with minimal hop additions, I've always gotten great flavor and aroma. There's no need to go over-the-top with extra additions.

Cheers.
 
This past December, did an extract version of AHA's recipe and, along with it being my first batch using temp control (BrewPi), it turned out to be the best beer I've ever made

Think it mostly has to do with it being a solid recipe, also, its been said before, Citra + Mosaic = yum

I'm wondering how the combo would taste using grain bills from my 2 other favorite IPA clone recipes of beers not made down the street, Two Hearted and 8 Point
 
Got 12 gallons of this dry hopping right now. 6 oz citra for dry hop. Looking forward to kegging it this weekend and having a taste. Considering another 4 oz citra for keg hopping, but I'm not sure yet. Guess I'll have to see how it is going into the kegs.
 
I have used increased mash temperature to drop the ABV of beers several times. I have not been able to detect a difference in the final character of the beer, other than the lower alcohol level. I would encourage anyone to try it and see what they think. I would also disagree that it "definitely affects the overall taste/feel of the beer."

Well, I guess just neglect all that info out there stating higher mash temps create more long chain sugars which are not chopped down by the yeast leading to more unfermented sugar in the beer...and a less dried out overall taste...it's fact. But you apparently don't detect a difference b/w a FG of 1.010 & 1.020 so more power to you!

Exactly. Try it for yourself. There is a lot of brewing dogma out there. I think some or a lot of it is not solid, or is dependent on the beer or is subtle, so try something new!

The only part I disagree with is that the unfermented maltodextrins taste sweet. Gypsum has a profound effect on dryness in beer and could likely be used to easily overcome any minor perceived sweetness from higher mash temps if they think they are getting sweetness.
 
Back to the recipe - I'm very happy with the results I got using homebrewsupply's kit! Just tapped that keg a few days ago and it's delicious!
 
This is fermenting away now.Its a double batch.Im thinking of dryhopping as listed in one and upping the dry hops in the other.I have citra,cennteniel,cascade and a little simcoe on hand. I was actually thinking just adding more citra to bring it out.I haven't used citra in a long time.
 
I made 10 gallons of this with my brother-in-law. Subbed out Nugget hops for Chinook (we had them on hand). Turned out very nice and easy to drink. I might have to find a 6-pk of the real stuff for a comparison, but I have no problem drinking what we made up. Considering the cost of ingredients for 10 gallons was less than the cost of 3 6-pks (also in Alberta, Canada), I cannot complain!
 
i was never able to get c-75 from the lhbs. guess i'll do it like last time, 50/50 split of 40 and 90..

You'll be fine with C60 by itself. It's basically just a coloring agent that adds a wee bit of fermentables.
 
Obviously it wouldn't be a fresh squeezed, but would only using mosaic hops for flavor and aroma and nugget for bittering following this grain bill and hop schedule make a good beer? I happen to have a butt load of mosaic right now (along with centennial and calypso) and want to use them up before buying any more hops
