Tasting Notes

Massive citrus nose and flavor, light malt backbone, clean bitter finish.

This beer won The 1st Annual Weatherford Home Brewing Comepetition last night. It's a fantastic IPA, and nothing at all like the beer I was attempting to clone. It is the first recipe I put together myself, and I am darn proud of it. Naturally, I already changed it up for the second batch, but that's not the winner, this is.

I've been looking for a Mosaic IPA recipe and I think I just found one to try!

I'm still extract brewing though.

Would that 1 lb of Cane Sugar at 15 need to be lessened for an extract beer?

Thanks!

The sugar was a last minute audible to make up for my own mistake. My efficiency on this batch totally took a dump because my LHBS told me not to double crush because their mill is magical. It isn't. It did dry it out really well. I say leave it. I fixed the efficiency issue on the next batch, so no sugar in this one, but it isn't bottled yet so I can't really tell if there's that much of a difference. If you can get your extract brews to attenuate to 1.011 - 12, you might not need the sugar.
