American Pale Ale Manwell's Pale (Mosaic SMaSH)

[Novims]

This, sir, is a delicious ale. I got massive passion fruit from Mosaic. This brew is so simple, yet fantastic at the same time. Nice, clean and tasty... A winner.

This recipe looks awesome but my homebrew shop was out of mosaic so I'm doing the same recipe with all galaxy hops...should be good I hope?

Used this recipe to try out my new mill and kettle. Numbers need more tweaking but it came out well. Will be even better when I get everything dialed in. Thanks OP!

Just kegged basically the same thing 8 days ago, already sneaking tastes from the keg.

I yielded 20gal and had pretty much the same recipe.
Mash at 152
43# of 2 row(I love MO but I cheaped out)
3oz at 60
3oz at 20
3oz at 5
3oz at 0
1 US-05 per fermenter rehydrated
Hop Tea into the keg when transferring(4oz hops yielding a quart and a half of tea after absorbtion)

I agree that Mosaic is amazing for a smash. We are hosting my sister's 50th in a week and will have a huge number of beer drinkers. I hope they don't drink all of it!

I also brewed a Mosaic Smash on August 2nd.

100% Weyermann Pale Ale malt
1 x US-05
Mosaic hops * crop 2017 * (10.4% AA )
OG: 1.055
FG: 1.011
5.8% ABV
IBUs: 30
4 SRM ( very light, hazy yellow )
Soft water profile: 110 ppm SO4 / 55 ppm chloride / 5 ppm Mg / 2 ppm Na / 110 ppm Ca / Mash pH:5.4

Tasting notes from fermenter: very strong aromatic nose ( I have yet to dry hop it ), soft mouthfeel with no perceivable bitterness. Citrus, tropical, a bit of pine. Very good so far. I will dry hop tomorrow most likely and bottle 2-3 after I dry hopped. ( for me, shorter time gets me better results in terms of aroma ).

This is my first smash with Mosaic and I am so looking forward to!

I used this recipe as a baseline for my first SMASH brew. Mine was higher IBUs but turned out great. Wife said it was her favorite out of the 10 batches I've done thus far. Ordered more Maris Otter to experiment with.

MO + Mosaic is my all-time favorite SMaSH!

I brew mine a bit closer to a 2xIPA:

13.5 pounds MO
0.5oz Mosaic first wort
0.5oz Mosaic @ 15 min
.25 tsp Irish Moss @ 10 min
1.5oz Mosaic @ 30 whirlpool/hopstand at 180F
Imperial 'Flagship' yeast (same as W1056 or WLP001)
2.5oz Mosaic @ dry hop 4 days

mash at 151F for 60 min

1.061 OG
1.013 FG
50 IBUs
6.1% ABV
5.5G into carboy

ferment 2-4 days at 64F until krausen drops, then bump up to 68F in 1F increments per day and hold for 10 days

cold crash to 34F and gelatin fine

keg and serve

if I was ever to brew this as a non SMaSH, I'd add 0.5oz of Magnum at the 60 min mark to increase the bitterness a bit and balance better against the heavier malt content

What is your water profile? I think the water profile is very important for the mosaic hop

Resurrecting this thread for no other reason than to say thanks for the recipe, NathPowe. I brewed a modified version of it a month ago and it's delicious!

What did you modify?

 

[johnny_knack]

Nothing drastic. I added about 1 IBU of hops at 0 minutes, then chilled to 75C to do the hop stand, which I did for 30 minutes, instead of 20. (My hops were also rated at 11.4% in alpha acids, so I had to compensate for that in planning my brew day.)

I'm not a massively experienced home brewer but, for what it's worth, I can safely say it was the nicest beer I've brewed.

 

[SHbrewing]

giving this a go today.

 

[johnny_knack]

Let us know how you get on.

I intend to make it again exactly the same way at the next opportunity. I loved it.

 

[evolutionary]

Just want to say I followed the original recipe and just finished the 1st keg of it - it was good enough we brewed another 5 gallons a week ago just switching out for Kveik yeast. Thanks for posting the original recipe - easy and a great beer.

 

[lumbergh]

How was it with the kveik? Which kveik strain?

 

[evolutionary]

Its waiting for an open tap in the keezer and cold crashed for the last few days. Used Omega Kveik Hothead and it chewed thru it - will post with comparisons to original recipe results.

 

[Just_another_drunkard_666]

Brewed this one up last Sunday. Everything went great, looking forward to kegging this.

I have brewed this 3 times now, it is very good. Just wanted to pop in and say thanks for the recipe !
