2016 Mosaic crop...

Post by CreweBrewer » Sun Nov 05, 2017 8:55 am

Good morning. I've not posted on here (or anywhere) for a while. However, I feel compelled to post about the 2016 crop of Mosaic hops: they're terrible! After brewing countless successful batches using the 2015 harvest, Mosaic had become my all-time favourite variety. So much so I bought loads of the new crop. Now I'm not one to blame my tools, but after a significant amount of time and malt, and using different fermenters trying to figure out what I was doing wrong to create such a soapy, medicinal brew I've come to the conclusion that the 2016 harvest is absolute dog poo! I even chucked a different yeast at it thinking I had re-used my usual St Austell strain one too many times.

I don't know who supplies the HBC, but I'd be interested to know how everyone else is getting on with it.

Hope all is well with everyone,

Dave
