, I can't untaste citra and mosaic. Nothing else I've brewed comes close.

Haven't brewed a Citra/Mosaic in awhile until 2 weeks ago. (I was trying other hop combos, with decent success.) I reworked an older recipe, built up from RO water, and man o man, I hit the nail on the head for my personal taste. I think I'd still go a bit more bitter, but Citra/Mosaic is a hard combo to beat. I think I may try this same recipe again and DH with a touch of Galaxy. I'm sending some out in a beer trade soon, so hopefully I'll get some unbiased feedback.^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^^^^
fwiw, I've been working on a Sierra Nevada Fantastic Haze clone using Azacca, Idaho 7 and Strata.
First semi-guided effort (SN is awesome about listing ingredients so one just has to work on ratios and timing) was excellent and pretty darned close to the prototype...
Cheers!
I hated Rakau. Thought it had a strong fig-like quality that I didn't like much.sweet. thanks for the nice insights- ill give rakau a shot then!
Would love to know the amounts and timing you used of each.
Soitenly! I've been working from this SN page Fantastic Haze | Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.
Note there are actually five hop strains used.
This was my first go...

What's the ingredient cost for that batch?
Even for 11 gallons that hop bill adds up.
Galaxy is incredibly hit or miss. The last galaxy that I got from Yakima Valley hops was an 8 ounce bag and it was awesome. Probably the best Galaxy I’ve ever had. It’s unfortunate that it’s so hard to predict whether or not it will be good or not, But the last batch I had was so good.Where are you all getting your galaxy? The last couple pounds I got from Yakima Valley Hops were somewhat disappointing.

Continue buying in pounds but do it in the winter.
I'd like to read more about that; especially because my tongue and throat didn't get the news.The high cohumulone = harsh bitterness theory has been debunked.
Agreed on personal opinions- i have another brew set with riwaka-nelson evrn thoough the diesely notes derived from riwaka based on comments i read here and there are off putting to be honestI hated Rakau. Thought it had a strong fig-like quality that I didn't like much.
I did a Nelson-Motueka light hazy a few batches ago that turned out great.
The thing about taste is it's so subjective though. I love reading other people's opinions/experiences but I do try to use every ingredient myself whenever possible to form my own opinion.
This is true. But ya can't go wrong with the tried and true, is all I'm saying.^lol^ golf claps for the riff
Still...there are a multitude of roughly comparable and certainly enjoyable strains beyond citra, mosaic - even simcoe - that are just waiting for exploitation...
