Mosaic and what?

Post by Beer-lord »

I finally got some Mosaic hops and am curious what might compliment these. I don't have Galaxy (which I've read is very good with Mosiac) but have Chinook, Citra, Amarillo, Simcoe, Summit, Nugget, Cascade, Centennial, Helga, Belma,and more I can't even remember..... crap, I have waaaaay too many hops (somebody please institutionalize me).
I don't want to do a SMaSH but am thinking of 2 row and a bit of crystal 60 and some Victory. I'm thinking Simcoe and Amarillo and Chinook is what I might use.

So, anyone who's used Mosaic with something else, chime in. I've got time but I decide and design recipes weeks in advance.

Hi Paul,

I have used Mosaic with:

Simcoe (Mosaic is a daughter of Simcoe)
Amarillo
Citra
Centennial
Styrian Goldings
Hallertau Mittlefrau
Striselspalt

I think it pairs well with them all.

It really depends on how you use it and what you want to get out of it.

For example, when I used it for flavor along with Amarillo and Citra, it tended to compete with the Amarillo.

It should pair well with Belma and even Galaxy.

SPECIAL NOTE: (Don't read this if you don't wanna buy more hops!) I just had a Victory Hop Ranch and it was awesome! It uses only Mosaic and Azacca hops and the taste was great... Fruity but balanced and a good amount of bitter from the Mosaic.

Farmhouse Brewing Supply has it but it ain't cheap. I got 1/2 lb and would have gotten more but I already have way too much in my freezer.

LOL! No way... You ordered some Azacca?

Guess I'll order up some as well... I really enjoyed them in the Victory Hop Ranch!

Thanks for the lead...

I'm going to hold off on ordering any more hops until I can get some help for my hoptomania problem I have. Plus, if I tried to stuff any more in my freezer, the doors will come off.

I got 4 oz of Mosaic at a LHBS event and it's been in my freezer ever since. Don't like IPAs, haven't really looked for a way to use them.

Thanks. Only wheat I've made has been a Blue Moon clone I made in the summer for my son. After my Moosedrool batch that I'm making next week I'll have to see if I want to make a wheat for the summer.

I used them with Citra in a clone of a brewed called Fresh Squeezed by Deschutes Brewery last Saturday.

Never had it so I don't know what to expect.

Smelled great during the boil.

Got mine from Yakima Valley Hops. They recommended them in place of Amarillo.
My LHBS wants $30 a LB for Amarillo right now and I refuse to pay that for any hop.
They have them right now for $20.99 a LB.
Also, they have a $6 flat shipping rate for up to 4 LBs so I'll usually add some yeast to it too.
