The kitchen sink

So I am making something with leftover grains. I was hoping for input.

5.25 gal batch
To be fermented with Nottingham

6.25lbs 2Row
0.5lbs Carapils
0.5lbs Crystal 120
0.25lbs Crystal 60
0.5lbs Munich 10

Target OG is 1.04-1.042

Hop schedule:
0.5oz Mosaic (12.7AA) @60min
0.25oz Mosaic (12.7AA) @15min
0.25oz Mosaic (12.7AA) @Flameout

Calculated IBU of 35.63

Any and all help is appreciated.

Regards,

Alex J

I'd make an English Mild maybe? Not familiar with those hops but I'd keep the schedule and
the IBU around 28. Drop the Carapils, 4 oz of C120, 6 oz C60 and find a few ounces of chocolate malt to
bring up the color.

As mentioned this is with what I have on hand. I cant bump up the 60 because it is all I had on hand. I'm just curious to see what happens.

Anyone make anything resembling this?

Oh I forgot to mention that I also have 0.132lbs of oatmeal.

It looks something like a brown ale that I made, except much hoppier and with American hops. So a very hoppy and citrusy American brown or amber ale with a creamy texture? Might resemble Marble Red Ale. Looks great. Post how it turns out.

 

[Osedax]

Yeah looks good. Mosaic is actually an aussie hop. Its strong. Kind of reminds me of fruity simcoe.

I would throw the oatmeal in there also. I think mashing higher like 154-156 would be a good idea, so it doesnt dry out to far.

Id drop c120 to 4oz max for a low gravity beer like this one. Unless you want burnt raisins to dominate the flavor

 

[Indian_villager]

I got good reviews on this. Easily sessionable and cheap. Brew it.

 

[Indian_villager]

For future batches I'd bump the last addition a bit or add .5oz of dryhop mosaic.

 

[Indian_villager]

Hello all. So i tried something in the same vein again but I'm not sure how I feel about it.

Revenge of the sink.

5.25 gal batch
Yeast: s-04
OG: 1.05
FG: 1.012
Primary: 2 weeks

8lbs 2Row
0.5lbs Caramalt
0.5lbs Crystal 20
0.25lbs Crystal 60
0.25lbs Munich 10


Hop schedule:
.564oz Magnum @60min

1oz Mosaic (12.7AA) Dryhop


Any opinions on this recipe?

 

[sptaylor70]

So this is something like an American Pale Ale, or are you looking for a citrusy ESB? If the first, then I might use something like US-05 or Wyeast 1332 (although Deep Ellum Brewing uses English ale yeast for its blonde ale, which is good).

Looks fine to me, a little like Biermuencher's Nierra Sevada. Post how it turns out.

 

[Indian_villager]

I have it on tap now...I'm not sure how I feel about that much Mosaic? Its pretty funky and fruity, and I with it were more bitter. More bittering hop and maybe some simcoe to replace the 10 and 5 min additions.

 

[sptaylor70]

Community Brewing (Dallas) has a Mosaic IPA that is out of sight. You might contact them to see how they get the citrusy quality of the Mosaic to come so much to the front.

 

[Indian_villager]

With time it is coming together. Still feel I should have added some simcoe, citra, or centennial.
