Mosaic IPA Help

[bennie1986]

I just made a Mosaic IPA that turned out great. My malt bill was very similar to yours except that I used Carapils instead of Vienna.

My hop bill was;
1oz at 75 minutes
.75oz at 30 minutes
1oz at flame out
2oz dry hop for 4 days.

Brewing this in the morning and I'm a little worried about 60 ibu's being over powering in an OG of 1.054 with a light body. Anyone have last min words of comfort?

Yeast Harvesting: A Novel Approach?

As for the recipe... get 21-30 IBU from your 60 min addition, add everything else (except dry hop) at 20 min and lower.

Thanks, I moved .5oz from 60min and split it between the 10 and 5 min additions to get 46ibu's.

For your 60 minute addition, use something else, such as Magnum or Warrior, and use that ounce of Mosaic for a one-week dry hop instead.

To late! Lol! My 60 min turned into a 50 by mistake because I added the 10min addition at 20min an the 5 at 15 so I killed the boil 10 min early.

How did this turn out? I'm planning on a single hop mosaic IPA for next weekend and I'm a little concerned about using it for the bittering addition. I was toying with Warrior at 60/FWH and all mosaic for flavor/aroma/dry-hop.

A friend of mine and I brewed an IPA using a belgian yeast and we used Apollo (similar neutral qualities to Warrior) for the bittering addition. It turned out great.

We did use a blend of Chinook and Mosaic for the flavor/aroma/dry hop additions though, simply to temper the fruitiness a bit.

just buy a 1# bag of DME and grow your vial/smack pack out. pitch half and save the rest for farming.

I didn't put down any notes on this beer and if I remember correctly I didn't because I got real sick and all I could taste was nasty bitterness in every beer I drank be it homebrew or commercial.
