Lab Cat Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 My Tropicale Mosaic. A pale kit with Mosaic and Cascade bittered, and another 30g of each steeped. Wasn't sure about this one to begin with, it came out quite differently and very stonefruity - very peachy and honeydew melon. Mosaic was more tropical when I dry hopped it with my last pale, but I did use a shedload. Kitchen is a mess, so outside photos. Which is also a mess as the builders are in. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Von Blotto Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 At Craftbrewer when I bought my biofine they advised it needs about a week for everything to pretty much settle out fully. This lines up with what I've observed in the fermenters, a day or two after adding it there's a thickish yeast layer sitting above the trub, maybe 35-40mm high. Each day it gets lower. This red ale was allowed to sit for a week before it was kegged. It's also had another few days in the fridge gassing up. Tastes good but I can certainly tell the difference in the yeast influence. I prefer it with 1469, this was the one I tipped into the fermenter by mistake and it was fermented with 1056 as a result. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do it's a decent drop, but peach isn't my go to flavour for beer. I called it Tropicale because last time I dry hopped 100g Mosaic plus another hop and got subtle but lingering tropical flavours. I thought I'd still get more of those, and there is melon there, but it's just a different result. But 150g of hops on a single brew is a bit nuts, so have been experimenting with bittering and steeping to use them a bit more conservatively, knowing they'll react differently. I'd do this again, but only bitter probably 10g mosaic and save my allocation for dry hopping. This is all part of the refining and testing process. Good beers are still made either way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is all part of the refining and testing process. Good beers are still made either way. Good move. Some of the aromatic hop varieties also produce some other favourable aspects when boiled for periods. From my brewing experiences with it, I don't feel Mosaic is one of those. Best used late boil/whirlpool & definitely dry hopped. Glad the beer turned out well. Cheers & good brewing, Lusty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenyinthewestofsydney Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Budvar pilsener. No chance to lager this one. Only 4 days in the keg. Happy the yeast acted normal this time and i can keep using it. The last one finished at 1.000. This one back to a normal 1.008 finish. No idea what happened last time. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norris! Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I am sipping a nice crisp, carbonated and dry Flanders Red, cheers @Hairy I am pretty blown away by this beer. It is complex to say the least with a sour hit of maybe cherry, but I get hints of sappy pear and purple grape flavours, the grape reminds me of hubba bubba grape gum. It is crazy. I was worried I might not like it but this is a good beer. Well done Hairy. 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norris! Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 As it warmed up I could also get a spiciness coming through with just a hint of smoky caramel? Complex to say the least. The sourness puckers my lips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet to be proven with this one. It has only been in the bottle for 9 days. The frothing issue discussed on another thread has only appeared after 3-4 months or more in some brews. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naughty Corner Brewing Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 OMG! My best beer ever! Coopers XPA Partial Mash. Bittered with PoR.
