Mosaic smash - what dry hops to use?

[scallopking]

I've made this smash twice with all mosaic in the boil and dry hop. I'd like to try something different on the dry hop this time. thought about citra, el dorado and a few others. But since I have never really paired anything with Mosaic yet want to hear from others.

What is the best dry hop to pair with an all mosaic IPA? thanks.

I can't remember the brewery, but I recently had a Mosaic Pale that was dry hopped with Galaxy and Citra. It was pretty friggin' great and had me brainstorming a recipe!

I paired Mosaic with Azacca which came out nice.

FYI it wouldn't be a SMASH if you used more then 1 hop and an all Mosaic IPA would be ALL Mosaic. SMaSH = Single Malt and Single Hop

How about some old-school Columbus? Give it that little bit of dank punch.

What was your single malt?

 

[scallopking]

well I guess it's no longer a smash but a smadh now! lol.

these are all great ideas, worried about the Azaaca if it would be enough aroma? - I typically use 5-6 oz. dry hop.

I love me some Columbus, hmmm that may be good one.

I am out of Galaxy but have Citra, is there a good Galaxy alternative?

What was your single malt?

Golden promise with a little carapils/dextrin added, well now it's just an IPA and not really a smash.

I'm about to do something like that, I called it smash(simple mash, simple hop). It's 94% maris otter, 6% flaked oats then bittered with warrior but flavored and dry hopped with lots of Mosaic.

Do a hop-stand with Apollo, and then dry-hop with Galaxy - or Nelson Sauvin.

All of my beers are smash and they contain 5 grains and 8 different hops. Sarcasm.

It's a "SMATH". Single Malt Two Hops

 

[scallopking]

Well I thought that but then what about three hops, or ten, lol.

Interesting, i have those except Galaxy. I just did an awesome Nelson/Citra so shying away from those probably. Wonder about a mosaic, Apollo, Columbus mix that just came to mind?

that's awesome, I like that. Kinda like mine with a Warrior bitter and then all mosaic at the end and hopstand.

What do y'all think about dry hopping with Vic secret here?

Columbus is WONDERFUL as a dry-hop!

I'm thinking Columbus here! Thinking of 4oz for 4 days, then cold crash.
