Description

  • Our Single Hop Experiment series is the perfect way to learn the characteristics of individual hop varietals
  • Includes a small bittering addition of Magnum and three 2 oz additions of your chosen hop for late boil and at dry hopping
  • Estimated ABV: 5%
  • Estimated IBUs: 35
  • Makes 5 gallons of finished beer

We recently had a simple, yet exciting idea: What if we brewed the same recipe, used the same yeast, but changed one thing - the flavor, aroma, and dry hop additions using one hop varietal. That way we could take two beers that are close to identical and pick out the differences in just the hop flavors and aromas! And thus, the Single Hop Experiment was born. This recipe is based off of a simple Pale Ale: Ultralight malt extract, Crystal 15L, Magnum bittering hops, and then a single other hop for the rest of the additions. The malt in this recipe is basic and fairly neutral, the bittering clean and consistent, but the flavor and aroma from the late hop additions will vary; sometimes dramatically! Ever wanted to know what your favorite hop really is? Brew a few of these different Single Hop Experiment recipes to find out!

Estimated Original Gravity:1.049-54
SRM (Color Range): 7-8

Our recipe kits DO NOT include grain bags, yeast or priming sugar. To find our yeast recommendations, choose your preferred kit option above and then select the drop-down menu under “Yeast Options”.  For more info, click on the recommended yeast(s) below in the “You Might Also Need” section below. All included steeping grains will come milled.

 
Liquid Malt Extract (LME) vs. Dried Malt Extract (DME)
MoreBeer! recipe kits are offered in both Liquid Malt Extract and Dry Malt Extract so that our customers can choose the format that best suits their needs and brewing style. LME is a viscous liquid, similar in consistency to maple syrup. In addition to being the more affordable option, many brewers find LME easier to handle than dry extract. DME is more condensed and comes in a powder format that is similar to baking flour. Although it’s a little more costly, DME is naturally lighter in color and stays fresher for longer. We highly recommend DME when brewing light colored beers.

Awesome Aroma
I am so glad I chose this kit. I have been wanting to try Mosaic for quite awhile and this was the perfect way to do it. The aroma from the Mosaic is great, but I feel this hope needs a friend to help with the flavor, maybe Citra. And there's nothing like shaving a few hours off the brew day with an extract kit.

Easily my favorite kit...
My wife absolutely loved this one (as did I)... I can't keep it on tap long enough between my wife, myself and guests who love it as well. I highly recommend either GigaYeast's Vermont IPA yeast or London Ale III. They both produce a beer with so much character and are just juicy fruit bombs when combined with the mosaic.

Love them mosaic hops
I've brewed this kit twice. The first time as instructed and used US-05 yeast. The second time I added 2 oz of Simcoe dry hop and used Gigayeast's Vermont IPA. The first batch was great. The simcoe and Vermont IPA yeast were INCREDIBLE. I highly recommend this kit.

Fast Drinker!
This kit was consumed, by far, the fastest of anything I've made so far. I made mine with the Vermont strain from Gigayeast. Will definitely make this one again.

Pink grapefruit! Wow!
I couldn't keep my friends from drinking it all. When you smell it its pink grapefruits big time. The task is pink grape fruits as well with a small amount of tangerines. Super beer for the summer. My fiends thought I flavored the beer with pink grapefruit but its all the mosaic. I will be making this again. If you want to try something great for the summer than get this one with a dry fermenting yeast.
