Looking at putting the following recipe down soon. Itll hopefully be the makings of my house beer.

0.25kg crystal
0.2kg carapils
2kg LDM
0.5kg Dextrose
20g Mosaic 10g cascade @60min
20g cascade @ 30min
10g cascade + 10g mosaic @ 10min
10g cascade + 10g mosaic @ flame out.
US05 yeast
Dry Hop 15g cascade and 10g mosaic at day 5.
Approx 5.2%
IBUs 40.
Just wanna see any input. But follow these reasoning as to why.
Extract with grain brewer.
Simple and tasty brew that will be a regular.
I like this hop pairing.
1st time picking timings for my brew.
Dextrose to bump alc% and dry it up a little.
Cheers all. Gope your brews are coming along well
 
I would be basically putting all hops in at flameout and using as much mosaic as possible to hit tour IBU target, and adding cascade to taste.

I would also get some wheat in there and cut out the carapils. Also try to use a very light crystal.

Ok will do and refresh that list. I forgot about wheat. I may sub 500g of LDM for it.
 
I received advice from a brewery that uses these exact hops and they reckon 50% IBU at first wort and 60, then the rest at 5min, flameout and big dry hop.

ok ta. May i ask what you or anyone else would consider a big dry hop would be? Like 50g?100g?
Cheers
 
I just did a similar thing
10 grams of both @10 mins
then 10grams of each @ 0 mins

In the fermenter now
I did the same with galaxy last brew very nice!
 
Dont waste mosaic on a 60 min bittering addition if possible. What other hops do you have? Consider a clean bitterimg high alpha hop like magnum to replace otherwise you're wasting good flavour and aroma.

I'm drinking my second keg of the last batch I did this with, magnum is one of my favourite bittering hops and it plays very nicely with mosaic.
 
Most I've used is 12.5g/L for a black IPA. It was amazing.
That hurts my inventory thoughts. But I do have hop binge fetishes as well.
I recommend taking a liking to fresh beer, green beer. That's when I get hop overload.
Then it settles and mellows over time.

I've done just over 500g in 20L of barley wine. The result was great, but a lot of beer was lost to hop sludge. There has to be a better way of getting all that hop punch into the beer without losing it. Maybe a centrifuge. :eek:

I had the whole collection 2x, plus some extras. Still have a few syringes left. But it's not the same as the entire hop.

I agree. I don't really like flavour extracts, although aroma extract isn't too bad.

3g/L or more
Apologies in advance for going off topic but when people talk about g/L, are they referring to total hop quantity or a per hop quantity?

1 gm of hops = 1 ltr of beer .
 
Sorry, to clarify I meant is it say 3g/L total for mosaic and cascade hops, or 3g/L for each hop, therefore equaling 6g/L total?
