Honestly, I think MBC just used obscene amounts of Mosaic in the dry hop. Just had some Mosaic IPA at Prohibition Pig in Waterbury VT and it reminded me a lot of the fragrance of Dinner.

talks a lot about yeast propagation. Even with a small amount of yeast, it appears that you could get about half the needed population in...
I've got ingredients on route to start a partial mash like you. Like you I've been doing extract+specialty grain until now.
https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/easy-partial-mash-brewing-pics-75231/ is a great article that shows how cheap and easy it can be and is how I plan on doing it. I'd invest...
