Mosaic recipe

[Sandimas]

Anyone got a good recipe using Mosaic hops? Some sort of easy-drinking beer 4.5-5% rather than a full-blown strong IPA.

I rushed through a brew order and meant to get Galaxy to make Dennis King's Galaxy Delight but ordered Mosaic instead. Happy to bitter with a general-purpose hop like Magnum, so some idea of late hopping quantities would be useful. TIA.

First time I've heard of it, but I've got a pile of mosaic to use up and I'd be interested in suggestions, too. Where is the Galaxy Delight recipe to be found?

You could swap the mosaic for Galaxy in DK's recipe and adjust the bittering addition to account for the differing AA of the hops.

I do enjoy Mosaic, particularly as a dry hop.
In my opinion it works best paired with other US hops, Citra etc. The beauty of home brewing is you can play around with the recipes to what you like

It's been mentioned a few times on various forums, the only one I've found is the MM kit

Spot on. I think you could use this recipe for any hop and make a good beer

I just love Mosaic as a hop. I had this beer at Brew by Number on the Thames Riverside and loved it. I got talking to the head brewer and saw the ingredients so it’s my copied version.

I m pretty sure M&S so a Mosaic beer. You should buy a can and give us heathens a comparative review to see how they stack up against each other. WDYT?

It's made by Adnams. Good when I got it from M and S, was a bit disappointing direct from Adnams tbh. Might all be in my imagination though!

 

[Cheshire Cat]

I don’t understand what’s made by Adnams not the BBNo Mosaic IPA.

No, the Mark's and Spencer's beer. Their business model is white-labelled beer.
Was drinking Adnams Mosaic yesterday on cask in London. Very tasty, quaffable.

Always found Adnams Mosaic much, MUCH better on cask rather than bottled...

This is exactly what I do, it makes a wonderful mosaic pale ale, my favourite beer I make.

What IBU do you aim for: the 61 in the recipe of something different? I've never brewed anything with that high an IBU before, 45 has been my highest.

Not sure if that works for you? The ibus are 48 according to the recipe.

 

[Jordang]

We often have a mosaic pale ale on at the local.. I can’t recall the brewery but it’s cracking and only uses mosaic.

 

[Sandimas]

Thanks for all the suggestions, I'll make up something based on those and what grains I have in stock, plus single-hop Mosaic, and report back.

Has anyone mentioned Vacant Gesture yet?

It’s a Harrison’s brewery recipe and absolutely lovely.
