DIRECTIONS

Single infusion mash at 149°F (65°C), then rest for 40–60 minutes. Recirculate (vorlauf) until runnings are clear. Boil for 60 minutes following the hops schedule. Pitch the yeast and ferment at 66°F (19°C) then allow temperature to free rise to 70°F (21°C).

Move young beer off yeast once it reaches terminal gravity and add dry hops. Crash after 2 days and hold for about a week, then rack to keg or bottles and carbonate by your preferred method.

BREWER’S NOTES

Mosaic is a wonderful hop that can contribute myriad flavors and aromas depending on when it’s added. Dry hopping helps bring out its more tropical/ berry notes rather than its resinous/ herbal qualities, which tend to come on the earlier you add it during boil.
