Mosaic Single Hop Bursted Pale Ale

For our blog post this week, we’re doing something a little bit different. In celebration of National Homebrew Day last month, Ethan in our Carrboro store created a hop-bursted pale ale featuring Mosiac hops. This beer has a bright aroma, with hints of white grape, mild citrus, and subtle floral notes. It was so tasty, we thought we’d share the recipe with you – enjoy!

Yeast
     Wyeast American Ale 1056 (~190 billion cells via starter)

Mash Schedule

• Single Infusion Mash: Target 150˚-152˚ F
• Duration: 60 min
• Sparge: Target 168˚F and hold for 15 min

Collect your mash/sparge volume and begin a standard boil. This batch is a hop burst and will not utilize a 60 minute hop addition. Rather, it will rely on large late hop additions to achieve bitterness while imparting a pronounced aroma. Hop according to the schedule and add a kettle fining with 15 mins remaining. Cool to 68˚-70˚F and pitch your starter.
