Mosaic, my all time fav! This crop comes in at 11.4% alpha acids. This mosaic is every bit as incredible as the Lupomax but is a little less dank. It also doesn’t go quite as far because it doesn’t have the concentrated lupulin in it. Aromas of pineapple, mango, orange peel and a hint of blue berry come through on this crop. Mosaic is an age old hop at this point. Some love it.
Some hate it. I couldn’t help but make most beers with it for a couple years.
Flavors from this are super ripe fruit, like overripe pineapple, and blueberry. Look, I know you’ve used it before but your next hazy or west coast ipa needs this mosaic. It’s going to make a great summertime crusher for you. Who wouldn’t want that on tap?

From Field to Fermentor: Believing in American Malt
For a long time, homebrewers have been told that imported malt is the gold standard. If it’s not from Germany or the U.K., it’s not the “real thing.” You hear people say they only use Weyermann for lagers or Crisp for English ales. Those are great malts, no doubt, but it’s time we start giving…
