Mosaic Hop Pellets T90

Tropical fruit, papaya and tangerine, with berry and a woody, herbal edge underneath. Mosaic packs a whole fruit stall into one hop — and at 11.5–13.5 % alpha, it can bitter too.

Alpha 11.5–13.5 % · Beta 3.5–4.0 % · Late hop & dry hop · T90 pellets · Crop 2025 · 100 g

What it does in your beer

Mosaic lives up to its name: tropical fruit, papaya and tangerine, with berry, citrus and stone fruit in the mix and woody, herbal notes underneath. The breeder sums it up as floral, tropical, fruity and earthy.

Pale ales and IPAs are the classic home, and it's a strong choice for single-hop beers. The recommended use is late in the boil and in the dry hop, but its alpha makes it a capable bittering hop as well.

What 10 g does in 20 L

Approx., Tinseth formula, OG 1.050, mid alpha 12.5 %. Recalculate with the alpha on your pack.

How to use

• Kettle: late — the recommended addition is the third and last one, or the whirlpool.
• Dry hop: the second recommended use.
• Single-hop beers: a good way to learn the hop before you blend it.
• Bittering: 10 g boiled for 60 minutes gives about 14 IBU in 20 L, so a small charge goes a long way.

FAQ

Is Mosaic a bittering or an aroma hop?
Both, but it's aroma-led. Use it late and in the dry hop; its 11.5–13.5 % alpha also makes it an efficient bittering hop.

What does Mosaic smell like?
Tropical fruit, papaya and tangerine, with berry, citrus, stone fruit and woody, herbal notes.

What can I use instead of Mosaic?
Variety data lists Centennial, Citra®, Nelson Sauvin™ and Simcoe® as similar varieties.

Mosaic T90 or Mosaic Cryo?
T90 is the whole hop cone milled and pelleted. Cryo is more concentrated, so the recommended dose is about 30–50 % lower.
