Just love 833 in Ofest, or any other malty lager

Looks phenomenal Ken - I am savoring the last bit of my mosaic/azacca apa, but I know it's going soon - once it does the fest will be hitting that tap.

How do you like that hop combo, Paul?  Does the Mosaic dominate?

[blatz]

Great combination - mosaic is more powerful but the azacca is definitely present - very diff than the all mosaic beers I've had.  I will certainly make this recipe again.  Despite the 40ish IBUs it comes across borderline IPA - intense is the best way to describe it.

I'm having Tough time liking mosaic. Just had mosaic IPA in Cincinnati at brewery and just tasted like an onion/garlic bomb.

I'll remember to try it. I blended Azacca with several hops last year but not Mosaic.  Ken, I've heard another brewer talk about getting onion/garlic from Mosaic, but I've never had that from it. Must be a harvest thing - it's a great hop normally.

right could be many things. the few times I've had it as the dominant hop, its been the same outcome.

I've gotten it, but only at low levels just above my taste threshold. Never gotten a Summit-like onion bomb from it.

Double brewday going right now:

Brew #1 - Double whirlpool IPA - 8 oz Meridian, 2 oz X-17 at flameout with a hot whirlpool for 90 minutes, 3.5 oz Vic Secret and 2 oz X-17 at 120F for 60 more minutes, no dry hops. The Vic Secret is so distinct with passionfruit, that it should be a decent indicator for how much flavor/aroma comes from that 120F addition.

Brew #2 - Bought what I thought was just a Mr Beer fermentor on Xmas clearance at Target for $12. Turns out there was a kit inside. It was their "Classic American Light" kit, which is just a can of hopped DME and a 5g packet of yeast and instructions to ferment at ale temps. I'm going to amp it up a little with an ounce of Tettnang as I bring the DME just to a boil, along with 5 ounces of rice syrup solids to boost the gravity slightly. I'm going to pitch a full packet of 34/70 at 45F and ferment at ambient in the coldest corner of my basement. Should be interesting. Also got a small packet of Coopers carb drops, so all-in-all this was a nice score even if the beer sucks.

This is awesome.  Enter it in to NHC!  It will probably take a gold!   

Brewed a vienna lager today.  Hit all numbers dead on - mash temp, wort pH, and OG.  This beer is destined for greatness...

No doubt. Probably 'It Extract'.

Anyone remember Randy's Boyband hit single on Southpark?

It tastes funky to me too, just a like a lot of the newer hop varieties that are popular now. I like the more traditional varieties with Simcoe being about the newest variety I like.

I'm gonna brew a British special bitter this weekend with Munton's maris otter (first time using it) and a few ounces of special roast with EKG's to about 30 IBU and 1318. Hope it's worth a damn...
