Mosaic/Nelson Sauvin Pairing

[rhys333]

Just stumbled across this thread and decided to post since I'm brewing a Nelson Sauvin-Mosaic APA this weekend. I have 2 oz NS to which I'm adding 1 oz Mosaic split equally at 10 & 0 minute additions in 4 gallons. First time using NS. Thinking something like this:

APA (4 gal, 5% abv)
77% 2 Row
15% Wheat
5% Munich
3% C40
Warrior @ 60 to ~10 IBU
1oz NS + 0.5oz Mosaic @ 10 & 0
WY 1275 Thames Valley

Will do. Its still in primary but what I can say so far is that NS is really aromatic. The hop aroma literally fills the basement. Never had that before.

I had a commercial Nelson IPA that was dry hopped with Mosaic and it was unreal. Seriously one of the best beers I've ever had. Those hops do pair well together.

Sure, sorry I forgot to report back. It was decent but not mindblowing. The NS hops came across well enough (kinda citrusy) but not really all that unique. Domestic C hops do the same for less money. The mosaic is more interesting and IMHO. That said, I got my NS hops from my LHBS and they store them in a clear glass refrigerator. I find the hops from there can lose some character due to light exposure. I'd be tempted to use centennial or citra with the mosaic next time. Currently have a mosaic/chinook IPA on the go. Will be interesting to see how this combo works out.
