What hops pair well with Mosaic?

Because of its fruitiness, Mosaic plays well with other fruity or citrusy hops. Citra seems to be a favorite partner right now, and it is similar enough that Mosaic hops have garnered a “Citra on steroids” description.


Also to know is, what goes well with Citra hops?

Personally I would bitter the beer with magnum, and most people would suggest pairing the citra with amarillo, cascade, or perhaps columbus for finishing, but I also think that goldings, northern brewer, or even tettnanger would be an interesting combination.

One may also ask, what hops go well with Simcoe? Member. Simcoe and crystal also work well together. We do a blend of simcoe, amarillo, columbus, and crystal at knockout in a fairly hoppy ipa.

People also ask, which hops go well together?

Other American hops that work well together are Willamette, U.S. Fuggle, Yakima Golding, and Mt. Hood.

Does Citra hops contain grapefruit?

Citra has very high myrcene (60-65%) content when compared to other hops and this helps account for its unique aromatic profile. Myrcene, one of the four major hop oils, is heavily associated with citrus (BYO, VOL. 17, No. 1), and can also be found in mangos, lemongrass, verbana and grapefruit.

Perhaps because it is traditionally a lager hop, or because it is slightly more expensive. Bitter with Magnum, flavor/aroma addition with Saaz. Centennial and, to a lesser extent, Cascade are the classic American "Citrus" hops. Dry hopping with Centennial will give you a nice grapefruit hop punch.

How do you dry hop?

The basic process of dry hopping, and one of the most common methods, is to simply siphon your beer out of your primary fermenter into a secondary fermenter and add hops. It is typically best to place your hops in a hop bag or other strainer in which they can be contained and still be in contact with your beer.

Citra is a proprietary hop variety, which means you need a license to grow it and cannot sell rhizomes or seeds (and in any case, you can't propagate specific hop varieties by seed as the parent plant will have been pollinated by another variety).

How do I know what hops to use?

Try a single malt and use a single hop for bittering, flavor and aroma. If you do this you can say, well the bitterness is a little harsh, but the flavor and aroma are great, or the aroma is a little much, but the flavor is awesome etc etc. This will get you a feel pretty quick.
