Another vote for Idaho 7. Curious how that would turn out.

Vic Secret is pretty similar to Galaxy. Not as pungent with added floral.

Anyone have good experiences with 2015 Mosaic & Citra? If so where did you purchase?

I use a 1 gallon paint strainer bags over my auto siphon for dry hopped beers. Works great to keep the hop particles out which clog the dip tube.

3 dry hop stages? First I've heard if this. I tried 2 stage once and felt like it didn't make any improvement over 1. Now I just do all the dry hops once for 4-7 days.

Well hopefully someone knows where to get the good 2015 Mosaic and Citra ;)

Well after much evaluation I must say the 2015 YVH Mosaic is not up to par. I think the Citra is a little better but really not much. Both beers I've brewed do not have any distinctive flavor or aroma as compared to last years crop.

I have not done both Galaxy and Equinox together. But in using Equinox I can tell you it easily overpowers due to its high oil content. So depending on what you're going for definitely keep that in mind. Maybe 2:1 Galaxy:Equinox would be good

Anyone else have new updates? I just brewed 2 new batches, 1 with 2015 YVH Mosaic and 1 with 2015 YVH Mosaic and Citra. Still fermenting.

Mine is the 2015 Citra 13.4% AA pellets from Yakima Valley Hops.

Made a 2015 hop Mosaic/Citra Fresh Squeezed clone. Dry hopped with 3 ounces of Citra, hardly any aroma at all. I am pretty disappointed :-(

Had the same experience. Half pound of Citra came punctured. They promptly sent a return label and sent and replacement which was fine. Ordered 5 more pounds, various kinds. Nugget was punctured. I didn't bother seeking replacement since they will be just for bittering. Annoying none the less.

I'll take less user friendly packaging for better yeast vitality any day. I have had great success with the new packaging without starters.

Get over to the Horse Brass. Best IPA menu in Portland

+1 bitter with Apollo. I have used all three in an IPA, good combo. Throw in some Mosaic as well. I frequently use Apollo and Comet together, very much grapefruit. Galaxy and Mosaic bring a nice tropical fruit flavor to balance that out.

The sulfur smell is temp dependent. I don't recall the ideal range but do some searching and you'll find it. I used WLP400 on my first Wit and it fermented mostly in the low 70s. I had some sulfur smell but was able to bleed it off from the keg and after a bit of conditioning it was gone.

I've had the same results with oats in my Pale Ale attempts. All were mashed around 150. I'm thinking I will up the temp to 154 to see if that makes a difference.

I just bought some puree from perfectpuree.com You have to buy 3 to make it worth it. They are shipped frozen packed with dry ice. I got the passionfruit for a Belgian wit that I am kegging next week. Also got pomegranate and prickly pear. I can tell you they are a bit pricey but definitely...

What size batch?

This was a great beer. Pretty much grapefruit at first, but once it conditioned more of the Azacca tropical flavors emerged. Subtle but there.
